8. What happens when a solute crystal is added to a supersaturated solution? a) It becomes a colloidal solution b) The solute dissolves in the solution c) The solution desaturates d) The solute precipitates out of the solution
A supersaturated solution is a solution that contains less than the maximum amount of solution per given amount of solvent at a particular temperature. When more solutions is added to a supersaturated solution the solution will crystallize rapidly to form crystals and hence remains supersaturated only.
