Magnesium Sulfate has a solubility of 38.9g/100g H2O at 30 degrees C. A solution is prepared by adding 9.5g of MGSO4 to 25g of water at 40 degrees C. A homogeneous mixture is obtained. Is the solution saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated? One gram of magnesium sulfate is added to the solution cooled to 30 degrees C. Would you expect some of the MGSO4 to precipitate? If so, how much? If not, how much more MGSO4 can be added before precipitatation takes place?
