A solute has a solubility of 32.9g in 100.0g of water. If 56.0g of solution contains 10.0g of solute is the solution saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated?

supersaturated |
Solute has a solubility of 32.9 g in 100 g of water.
Solute has a solubility of 3.29 g in 10 g of water.
So, 10 g of water contains = 3.29 g
1 g of water contains = 0.329 g
Now,
56 g of solution contains 10 g of solute in
1 g of solution contains 10/56 g of solute
1 g of solution contains 0.18 g of solute
Since the solubility is 0.329 g of solute in 1 g of solution and now you have 0.18 g of solute in 1 g of solution.
So, it is a unsaturated solution, since the solute contains below the solubility.
Answer is unsaturated.
