← ScienceWhich state change occurs when dynamic equilibrium is disrupted in a saturated solution of potassium nitrate due to endothermic solvation?
A)Precipitation rate temporarily exceeds dissolution✓
B)Solution shifts towards supersaturation instantly
C)Dissolution rate immediately falls drastically
D)Solute aggregation forms larger crystals faster
💡 Explanation
Increasing temperature shifts equilibrium, driving endothermic dissolution per Le Chatelier's principle; hence, the precipitation rate initially lags behind the dissolution rate, because of increased ion solvation. Therefore, more solute dissolves, rather than immediately supersaturating or drastically changing dissolution.
