Question

Give the equation for a supersaturated solution in comparing Q with K_sp. A) Q > K_sp B) Q < K_sp C) Q = K_sp D) Q ≠ K_s_p E) none of the above

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A supersaturated solution is a solution that contains more solute than it can theoretically hold at that temperature and pressure. The equation for a supersaturated solution compares the reaction quotient (Q) to the solubility product (KS) and the concentrations of the ions present (S and B). In a supersaturated solution, Q is greater than the product of KS, _{sp, and}. Therefore, the correct choice is A, Q > K_sp.
