Slick · Answer 1

1) Concentration of AgNO3 in solution:

5.77 g / 10 ml = 0.577 g / ml

Multiply by 100 both numerator and denominator to obtain: 57.7 g / 100 ml.

2) Comparisson with the solubility

57.7 g / 100 ml the solution contains less AgNO3 than what it can dissolve according to its solubility.

Therefore, the solution is unsaturated.
