What can happen to a supersaturated silution?

if cooled carefully the supersaturated solution will stay liquid unless disturbed

Explanation:

A supersaturated solution is a

solution that contains more than the

maximum amount of solute that is capable

of being dissolved at a given temperature.

The recrystallization of the excess dissolved solute in a supersaturated solution can be initiated by the addition of a tiny crystal of solute, called a seed crystal. The seed crystal provides a nucleation site on which the excess dissolved crystals can begin to grow.

An excellent experiment is to heat sodium

thiosulfate in a water bath. The solid crystals will dissolve into the water in the hydrated crystals forming a supersaturated solution
