Question
Differentiate between a saturated and an unsaturated solution. How will you test whether a given solution is saturated or not?
✓
Answer
A solution in which no more solute can be dissolved at that temperature is called a saturated solution while a solution in which more quantity of solute can be dissolved without raising its temperature is called an unsaturated solution. To test the saturation or unsaturation of a solution, more solute may be added to the solution. If that solute gets dissolved in the solution then the solution will be unsaturated. To test whether a given solution is saturated or not, add some more solute to the solution and try to dissolve it by stirring. If solute does not dissolve in the given solution, then it will be a saturated solution.

A group of students took an old shoe box and covered it with a black paper from all sides. They fixed a source of light (a torch) at one end of the box by making a hole in it and made another hole on the other side to view the light. They placed a milk sample contained in a beaker/ tumbler in the box as shown in the they were amazed to see that milk taken in the tumbler was illuminated. They tried the same activity by taking a salt solution but found that light simply passed through it?
- Explain why the milk sample was illuminated. Name the phenomenon involved.
- Same results were not observed with a salt solution. Explain.
- Can you suggest two more solutions which would show the same effect as shown by the milk solution?
