Scientific Measurement

​ (a)   can have different amounts of solute and solvent. These differences are described in various ways. A ​ (b)   solution has less solute than a ​ (c)   solution.

• Solutions
• diluted
• concentrated

Solutions can be ​ (a)   or unsaturated. An ​ (b)   solution continues to dissolve solute until it reaches saturation. Once a solution becomes saturated, it cannot dissolve any more solute. Any added solute will sink, float or suspend in the solution, but will not break down.

• saturated
• unsaturated

If the solution is ​ (a)   and more solute dissolves, and then it is cooled, it is holding ​ (b)   solute than it normally would at that temperature. It is considered supersaturated.

What is supersaturated?

• A solution that contains more solute than it can normally hold at a given temperature.
• A solution that contains less solute than it can normally hold.
• A solution that has no solute dissolved in it.
• A solution that contains exactly the amount of solute it can hold.

When a solution contains the absolute maximum amount of solute possible, what is that solution called?

• supersaturated

• dilute

• concentrated

• saturated

What is a Dilute Solution?

• Solution containing a large amount of solute dissolved in solvent
