Excuse me mr. chemguy but is it still in equilibrium if it is supersaturated?

[bannanaiscool]

@gummyslinger Nope. No crystals dissolving and reforming, no eqm regarding solute and solution.

ok, so when you dump the salt into the water, and have excess salt that precipitates, the solution would then be "more than saturated", right? so is that what create an equilibrium situation? because if it is just "saturated", all the solute is dissolved in the solvent and there are no crystals on the bottom. is there a difference between supersaturated and "more than saturated"? because when a solution is supersaturated it is not at equilibrium. the rate of crystallization is very low...

[bannanaiscool]

@harmeetsohal Not more than saturated. Just saturated. Crystals on the bottom will then dissolve at the same rate as recrystallizing, so that's eqm. No crystals on the bottom, but saturated, means no eqm. Rate of recry=rate of dissolving...that's eqm.

what does he say starting from 4:07-4 :15 " no more solute is... " ??? why cant we have a equlibruim in an unsaturated liquid?

[bannanaiscool]

@win2tgirl No crystals on the bottom!

ye thanks

I hope that it`ll help me with my exams :)

Thanks for the lesson, it's really helping my chem knowledge :)

[wtfthu]

Thank you! This really helped me understand the basic concepts of equilibrium.

wow u r the first chem teacher i knw who no 1 complained about

thumbs up

and keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep it uup :)

this guy is awesome

[shadownetava123]

you saved my bacon.

[Priosenne]

You're so funny! Makes it so much more interesting. MY chemistry teacher is so scary, I daren't ask her any doubts....*sniff*

BRAVO!!!
