Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Question

The question asks about the type of solution used to make rock candy. The options are:

  1. An unsaturated solution of sugar and water.
  2. A saturated solution of sugar and water.
  3. A super saturated solution of sugar and water.
Step 2: Define the Terms
  • Unsaturated Solution: A solution that can dissolve more solute at a given temperature.
  • Saturated Solution: A solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a given temperature.
  • Super Saturated Solution: A solution that contains more solute than can be dissolved at a given temperature, usually achieved by heating the solution, dissolving more solute, and then cooling it down.
Step 3: Identify the Correct Solution for Rock Candy

Rock candy is made by dissolving a large amount of sugar in water at a high temperature to create a super saturated solution. As the solution cools, the excess sugar crystallizes out, forming rock candy.

Final Answer

The answer is \(\boxed{\text{a super saturated solution of sugar and water}}\).
