The solubility of glucose at 30°C is
125 g/100 g water. Classify a solution made by adding 550 g of glucose to 400 mL of water at 30°C. Explain your classification, and describe how you could increase the amount of glucose in the solution without adding more glucose.

125 g/100 g H2O ......... a saturated solution X g / 400 g H2O.............a saturated solution Solving, x=(400/100)*125=500 g. .......... still a saturated solution. But now, 550 g in 400 g H2O, that's $more~than$ saturated. Do you know the name for this solution? Read the following: http://preparatorychemistry.com/Bishop_supersaturated.htm The article will not only give you the name of the solution which is more than saturated. It will also show you $how$ to make one!
