Question

A teaspoon of a sugar is added to a glass of tea which is then stirred until no more crystals can be seen. Another teaspoon is added and stirring is continued until no more crystals can be seen.

After the first teaspoon of sugar is added, the solution is __________.

A. saturated
B. unsaturated
C. polar
D, nonpolar

Answer 1

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. After the first teaspoon of sugar is added, the solution is unsaturated since all of the solute is dissolved which means that it has not reached the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in the solvent or the solubility. Hope this answers the question.
