An unsaturated sugar solution is required for crystallisation
|
|
True
|
|
|
False
|
|
|
Either A or B
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -An unsaturated solution is a solution that contains less than the maximum amount of solute that is capable of being dissolved. Solution equilibrium exists when the rate of dissolution equals the rate of recrystallization.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the sugar solution, sugar is the solute and water is the solvent.
Detailed explanation-3: -Crystal formation can only occur when you have an unstable supersaturated solution. Examples are honey or syrup, which if allowed to stand, crystals will form. But for either unsaturated or saturated solutions, no crystals can form. This is the importance of a supersaturated solution.
