Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a saturated solution is at equilibrium, the rate of dissolution of solid salt is equal to the rate of crystallization of salt from the solution. Adding solid sodium chloride will not change the concentration of the solution because any additional salt will simply dissolve until the solution reaches equilibrium again. Therefore, the concentration remains the same.
