How much of copper sulphate crystals will be seperated if 25g saturated solution of copper sulphate at 60oC is cooled down to 30oC if solubility of copper sulphate at 60oC is 50 and at 30oC is 30 respectively?

According to the statement:

At 60oC, 50 g of CuS04 forms 150 g of saturated solution (50g solute+ 100g solvent)
At 30oC, 30 g of CuS04 forms 130 g of saturated solution (30g solute+ 100g solvent)
The difference in the weight of solution is: 150 - 130 = 20g
Therefore, 150g of saturated solution when cooled from 60oC to 30oC separates 20g of   CuS04
1g of saturated solution when cooled from 60oC to 30oC separates 20/150 g of  CuS04
25g of saturated solution when cooled from 60oC to 30oC separates of (20/150)*25g CuS04 = 3.33g
Thus 3.33 g copper sulphate is separated by cooling the solution from 60oC to 30oC.

Heterogeneous mixture: 

A mixture which can be seen through our naked eyes is called heterogeneous mixture. E.g. mixture of sand and rice or which can be separated by easily.
According to the particle size mixture can be divided into three types


Solution: 

Homogeneous mixture of two or more substances is called solution. Example: Salt and water, alcohol and water, Air, brass etc. The substance which is dissolved is called solute and the substance that dissolves is called solvent. In the solution the diameter of the particle of a substance is smaller than 10-5 cm. They are Invisible (Visible under ultra-microscope). They cannot be settle down and can't be filtered. They are transparent and Homogeneous.
Solution = solvent + solute

Colloids: 

If the diameter of the particle of a substance in a solution ranges from 10-5 cm to 10-7 cm then the mixture is called colloidal. Particle size in colloidal solution is intermediate between solution and suspension. The particles of colloids cannot be seen by naked eye. They may be visible in beam of light, Do not settle down in ordinary condition, cannot be filtered, cloudy transulent and Intermediate of homogeneous and Heterogeneous.
Example: RNA, DNA in blood, particles of milk, Gum, Dust in air

Suspension:

 It is the heterogeneous mixture of solid and liquid particles in which particle size is 10-3 cm or bigger. They are visible in naked eye, settle down easily, can be filtered, apaque, They are Heterogeneous.
 E.g. smoke particles in air, Sand water, Muddy water etc. 

Saturated solution

The solution in which the solvent cannot dissolve the solute anymore, at the given temperature then it is known as saturated solution at that temperature.
OR
The solution which cannot dissolve excess amount of solute in it at the given temperature is call unsaturated solution at that temperature.
When we dissolve solute in a solvent and there comes a time when the solute won't get dissolved anymore, then this solution is considered as saturated solution. On Heating it becomes unsaturated. It has more density. it has more concentration of solute, precipitation of the of the solute appears on cooling.

Example: When we pour sugar in the water and stir it, the sugar keeps dissolving but on further dissolving the sugar, a state will come when the sugar will not get dissolved in the water. At this point, the solution is a saturated solution.



Unsaturated solution

A solution at a state before saturation in called an unsaturated solution. In other words, the solution which can dissolve the solute at the given temperature is known as unsaturated solution at that temperature.
The solution which can dissolve excess amount of solute in it at the given temperature is call unsaturated solution at that temperature.

On Heating it remains unsaturated. It has less density. it has less concentration of solute, precipitation of the of the solute doesn't appears on cooling.


Solutions having low concentration of solute are called dilute solution.
Solutions having high concentration of solute are called concentrated solution.

Supersaturated solution:

The saturated solution at higher temperature that holds excessively more solute then the required amount for saturated solution at that temperature is called supersaturated solution.
When excess amount of solute particle is dissolve in a solution when heating is known as supersaturated solution.

Importance of Solution

- Oxygen is found dissolved in water and in air which is used by living organism for respiration.
- Plants take different minerals and salts from the soil in the form of a solution.
- The digested food particles reach the different parts of the body in the form of a solution.
- Most of the reaction taking place easily in the form of solution.
- Solution is more essential in many industries.

Solubility of the substance

The solubility of a substance (Solute) at a given temperature is defined as the amount of the substance(Solute) dissolved in 100g of solvent to make a saturated solution at that temperature.
The solubility of a substance at certain temperature can be given by
Solubility S = ( weight of solute in g/weight of solvent in g) * 100 [At constant Temperature]


Effect of the temperature on solubility

The relationship between increase in temperature and solubility is that the solubility is directly proportional to the increase in the temperature i.e. At high temperature the solubility of a solution is high so it is able to dissolve more solute, but when it is cooled, the solubility of the solution decreases and due to which the solute separate out as solid.
.


Solubility curve

Solubility curve is curve obtained by the plotting the solubility of the substance at different temperature against these temperatures.
Solubility Curve

 From the solubility curve various information can be obtained which are listed below
I. Comparative study of the solubility of different solutes can be done.
II .The solubility of solute at any temperature can be found out.
III. The change in solubility on changes in temperature can be observed.


Crystal:

 A crystal is a piece of solid particles which has a regular geometrical shape, smooth surfaces and sharp edges. They are solid particles with a definite or regular shape. They are pure substance with a fixed melting point.


Crystallization:

When the saturated mixture of a solid in a liquid at a high temperature is allowed to cool down, solid deposits in a certain geometrical shape called crystal .The process in which crystals are formed by cooling a hot saturated solution of solid materials is known as crystallization.

Amorphous solid:

Those solid substance which do not have any definite geometrical shapes are called Amorphous solid. On heating they don't melt but becomes less viscous. Lime, glass, rubber, plastic etc.

Crystalline Solids:


Crystalline Solids have typical geometrical shaped along with definite and rigid morphology. Eg; NaCl, Copper sulphate etc. are crystalline solid.
