1. When a saturated solution is slowly cooled, its solubility decreases, causing the excess solute to precipitate out of the solution. This results in the formation of solid crystals as the solution becomes supersaturated.

  2. An unsaturated solution is defined by a concentration of solute that is lower than its maximum solubility at a given temperature and pressure, allowing for further solute to dissolve into the solvent.

    Understanding solubility enables precise preparation of solutions by determining the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature. This knowledge allows for accurate calculation of solute quantities needed to achieve desired concentrations and avoids creating solutions that are too dilute or saturated.

  4. No, the solubility of salt and sugar in water at a particular temperature is not the same. Salt (sodium chloride) generally has a higher solubility in water compared to sugar (sucrose) at the same temperature.
