Distinguish between the terms "insoluble" and "unsaturated." Give an example to illustrate each term.

Asked by Nithya115

Answer (3)

In chemistry , 'insoluble' describes a substance that can't be dissolved in a solvent, like oil in water. 'Unsaturated' refers to a solution that can dissolve more solute, like water that can dissolve more sugar. ;

An insoluble substance does not dissolve significantly in a solvent, like sand in water, while an unsaturated solution can dissolve more solute, like salt in water until no residue remains. Temperature generally increases the solubility of solids and decreases the solubility of gases.
Insoluble refers to a substance that does not dissolve significantly in a solvent. For example, sand is insoluble in water because it does not dissolve when mixed.
An unsaturated solution is a solution in which the solvent can dissolve more solute. For example, if you add a small amount of salt to water and it dissolves completely without any residue at the bottom, the solution is unsaturated because it can still dissolve more salt.
Distinguishing Features:
Insoluble: A substance cannot dissolve significantly in a given solvent.
Unsaturated: The solution can dissolve more solute until it reaches saturation.
Additionally, the solubility of substances can be affected by temperature. Generally, the solubility of solids increases with temperature, while the solubility of gases decreases.
Examples:
Insoluble: Sand in water.
Unsaturated Solution: Salt dissolved in water until no residue is at the bottom.

Insoluble substances do not dissolve in a solvent at all, while unsaturated solutions can still dissolve more solute. An example of an insoluble substance is sand in water, and an example of an unsaturated solution is a salt solution where more salt can still be added. Understanding these terms is essential for grasping the concepts of solubility in chemistry.
