What does it mean if a solution is saturated?

Back

A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature.

What is an unsaturated solution?

Back

An unsaturated solution is one that can still dissolve more solute at a given temperature.

Front

Define supersaturated solution.

Back

A supersaturated solution contains more solute than can normally dissolve at a given temperature, often achieved by heating.
