Answer:
The solution is unsaturated.
Explanation:
Amount dissolved > Maximum solubility limit, the solution is saturated.
Amount dissolved < Maximum solubility limit, the solution is unsaturated.
44 g of Pb(NO₃)₂ is added to 100 g of water, the solution is:
Solubility of the Pb(NO₃)₂ given at 20 °C = 55 g/100 g water.
It means:
100 g of water can dissolve maximum of 55 g of Pb(NO₃)₂
It means,
Maximum amount of Pb(NO₃)₂ that can be dissolved = 55 g
Actual amount dissolved = 44 g
Since,
Amount dissolved < Maximum solubility limit
44 g > 55 g
According to definition, the solution is unsaturated.
