STEP 1

1. The solubility of CdWO4\mathrm{CdWO}_{4} is 0.4633g/L0.4633 \, \mathrm{g/L} at 20C20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}.
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 g/L\mathrm{g/L}.
2. Compare each concentration to the solubility to categorize the solutions.

STEP 3

Calculate the concentration of Solution 1:
Given: 9.018×102g9.018 \times 10^{-2} \, \mathrm{g} in 209.6mL209.6 \, \mathrm{mL}.
Convert mL to L:
209.6mL=0.2096L 209.6 \, \mathrm{mL} = 0.2096 \, \mathrm{L} Calculate concentration:
Concentration=9.018×102g0.2096L=0.4303g/L \text{Concentration} = \frac{9.018 \times 10^{-2} \, \mathrm{g}}{0.2096 \, \mathrm{L}} = 0.4303 \, \mathrm{g/L}

STEP 4

Calculate the concentration of Solution 2:
Given: 4.814×103g4.814 \times 10^{-3} \, \mathrm{g} in 10.39mL10.39 \, \mathrm{mL}.
Convert mL to L:
10.39mL=0.01039L 10.39 \, \mathrm{mL} = 0.01039 \, \mathrm{L} Calculate concentration:
Concentration=4.814×103g0.01039L=0.4632g/L \text{Concentration} = \frac{4.814 \times 10^{-3} \, \mathrm{g}}{0.01039 \, \mathrm{L}} = 0.4632 \, \mathrm{g/L}

STEP 5

Calculate the concentration of Solution 3:
Given: 5.962×102g5.962 \times 10^{-2} \, \mathrm{g} in 117.4mL117.4 \, \mathrm{mL}.
Convert mL to L:
117.4mL=0.1174L 117.4 \, \mathrm{mL} = 0.1174 \, \mathrm{L} Calculate concentration:
Concentration=5.962×102g0.1174L=0.5080g/L \text{Concentration} = \frac{5.962 \times 10^{-2} \, \mathrm{g}}{0.1174 \, \mathrm{L}} = 0.5080 \, \mathrm{g/L}

STEP 6

Calculate the concentration of Solution 4:
Given: 3.117×101g3.117 \times 10^{-1} \, \mathrm{g} in 651.2mL651.2 \, \mathrm{mL}.
Convert mL to L:
651.2mL=0.6512L 651.2 \, \mathrm{mL} = 0.6512 \, \mathrm{L} Calculate concentration:
Concentration=3.117×101g0.6512L=0.4786g/L \text{Concentration} = \frac{3.117 \times 10^{-1} \, \mathrm{g}}{0.6512 \, \mathrm{L}} = 0.4786 \, \mathrm{g/L}

SOLUTION

Compare concentrations to solubility:
- Solution 1: 0.4303g/L<0.4633g/L0.4303 \, \mathrm{g/L} < 0.4633 \, \mathrm{g/L} (Unsaturated)
- Solution 2: 0.4632g/L0.4633g/L0.4632 \, \mathrm{g/L} \approx 0.4633 \, \mathrm{g/L} (Saturated)
- Solution 3: 0.5080g/L>0.4633g/L0.5080 \, \mathrm{g/L} > 0.4633 \, \mathrm{g/L} (Supersaturated)
- Solution 4: 0.4786g/L>0.4633g/L0.4786 \, \mathrm{g/L} > 0.4633 \, \mathrm{g/L} (Supersaturated)
The categorization is as follows:
- Solution 1: Unsaturated
- Solution 2: Saturated
- Solution 3: Supersaturated
- Solution 4: Supersaturated
