Question
If you don't evaporate any of the water, identify what happens to the eighth spoonful of bath salts you adda)It dissolves into the solutionb)It falls to the bottom of the beaker as sedimentc)It forms crystalsd)I'm not sure
Solution
The answer to this question depends on the saturation point of the water.
a) If the water is not yet saturated with bath salts, the eighth spoonful of bath salts will dissolve into the solution.
b) If the water is already saturated with bath salts, the eighth spoonful of bath salts will not dissolve and will fall to the bottom of the beaker as sediment.
c) If the water is super-saturated and the addition of more bath salts triggers crystallization, then the eighth spoonful of bath salts could form crystals.
d) If you're not sure, it's always a good idea to conduct an experiment or do more research.

Reset the simulator and fill the beaker with water. Before you add any bath salts, tap "evaporate" once. Then add a teaspoon of bath salts.Identify the concentration of the solution. You only added 1 spoon of bath salts, so explain how the concentration can have a value higher than 1.
