We have 78 .7 grams of potassium dichromate solute in 300 milliliters of water.
00:16
And presuming this is at, oh yeah, it says at room temperature.
00:21
So at room temperature, which is approximately 25 degrees celsius, the solubility of potassium dichromate in water is about 12 .5 grams per 100 milliliters of water.
00:41
So if we want to find out whether our solution is supersaturated, saturated or unsaturated, let's compare the solubility to the amount that we have.
00:52
So if we have 12 .5 grams can dissolve in 100 milliliters to make a saturated solution, how many grams is that in 300 milliliters? well this proportionality is just multiplying by 3, so if we multiply by 3 then this is going to be 37 .5 grams.
01:16
So a saturated solution would have 37 .5 grams of potassium dichromate in 300 milliliters of water.
01:24
78 .7 grams, which is the the actual amount dissolved, is greater than that maximum capacity, which means that the solution is supersaturated.
01:32
It contains more solute than it can theoretically hold.
01:39
If supersaturated, what's the temperature for complete solubility? so let's go ahead and insert a solubility graph here, which contains information for potassium dichromate...
