Question

Table salt has a solubility of 36 g of salt in 100 g of water at 40 C. If 15 g of salt is added to 50 g of water at the same temperature, is the resulting solution saturated or unsaturated?

Answer 1

the max solubility is 36 g per 100 g of water...Scaled down, this is 18 g per 50 g of water.

you're only dissolving 15 g so it's not saturated

Answer 2

Thank you very much!
