STEP 1
1. The solubility of is at .
2. A solution is unsaturated if the concentration is less than the solubility, saturated if it equals the solubility, and supersaturated if it exceeds the solubility.
STEP 2
1. Calculate the concentration of each solution in .
2. Compare each concentration to the solubility to categorize the solutions.
