(i) If a crystal of solute is added to supersaturated solution, crystallisation occurs rapidly.
(ii) Supersaturated solutions contain more solute than they should have at a particular temperature.

hydrates. Such substances are called hygroscopic. e.g., anhydrous CuSO 4, quick lime (CaO),
anhydrous Na2CO3 etc.
A-3. The overall energy change associated with dissolution depends on the relative magnitude of the solute–
solute, solvent–solvent and solute–solvent interactions. The process is exothermic if the new interaction
release more energy than disrupting the old interactions requires, it is endothermic if opposite is true.
