What Factors Affect the Concentration of a Saturated Solution of NaCl?

AI Thread Summary
The concentration of a saturated NaCl solution is influenced by factors such as the addition of water, solid NaCl, pressure, and temperature. Adding 80 mL of water to the existing 100 mL will significantly dilute the solution, allowing more NaCl to dissolve. In contrast, adding more solid NaCl will not change the concentration since the solution is already saturated. Pressure has minimal impact on the solubility of ionic solids in non-compressible liquids, while decreasing temperature generally reduces solubility. Thus, the most effective way to change the concentration is by adding more water.

need answer...please help me

. At 250C., 100 ml. of a saturated solution of NaC1 is in equilibrium with 1.0 gram
of solid NaC1. The concentration of the solution will be changed most when:
1) 80 ml of water are added to the solution;
2) additional solid NaC1 is added to the solution;
3) the pressure of the solution is increased;
4) the temperature of the solution is decreased 50C...reply soon

Think about it. Look up the defenition of a saturated solution. Do temprature and/or pressure effect the concentration? Put a little effort into it.
Sounds like homework to me.
 
Look http://galileo.phys.virginia.edu/education/outreach/8thgradesol/TempSolubility.htm Does temperature affect the solubility of NaCl by much?

How much more NaCl will be in solution when 80 mL is added to 100 mL? (think about it in terms of fractions or percent more)

Would pressure affect the solubility of an ionic solid in a liquid? (assume the liquid is noncompressible)

Answer is 1 i think.

Reasons:
1) Adding more water to the mixture dissolves more of the NaCl(s).
2) Adding more NaCl(s) will not change the concentration as the solution is already saturated.
3) Pressure will not have much change over the concentration of the solution.
4)Temp is decreased...NO. More liquid dissolved when temperature is increased.

Relatively i think (1) has more effect, as you are increasing the volume of the water by 80%.

Please correct me if i am wrong.
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
