Principle

In contrast to gases, the higher the temperature of the water, the better salts dissolve in it. By supercooling them, metastabile supersaturated solutions can be prepared which exhibit a higher concentration than that corresponding to the thermodynamic equilibrium quantity at a given temperature.

In this experiment students prepare saturated (and supersatured) solutions at different temperatures and investigate the properties of this solutions.
