A hot saturated solution of copper sulphate forms crystals as it cools. Why? |
|
Answer» The capability of a solution to maintain a certain concentration of solute is temperature-dependent. When a saturated solution of copper sulphate at above room temperature is allowed to cool, the solution becomes supersaturated and in the absence of stirring or the return of the previous solution temperature, the solute starts to precipitate out. i.e., crystal formation occurs. |
