Solution

The correct option is B

saturated solution


The explanation for the correct option-

(B) Saturated solution

  • At a given temperature when no more amount of solute can be dissolved in the given volume of solvent, that is called a saturated solution at that temperature.
  • It contains the maximum amount of solute in the given volume of solution at a particular temperature.
  • For example - we can dissolve 50 g of salt in 100 ml of water easily, but if keep on adding salt to water at some point no more salt will dissolve in water, that is called a saturated solution of salt.

The explanation for the incorrect options -

(A) Solution-

  • When a solute is dissolved completely into a solvent to form a homogeneous mixture is called a solution.
  • For example - the solution of sugar in water.

(C) Unsaturated solution -

  • When more solute can be dissolved in a solvent up to its solubility, it is called an unsaturated solution.
  • For example - the solubility of sugar is 204 g in 100 g of water if we add 50 g of sugar to 100 g of water, this solution is called an unsaturated solution of sugar in water.

(D) Supersaturated solution -

  • When the solution contains more amount of solute than its solubility or more amount of solute is present in solvent exceeding its maximum amount that can be dissolved in a solution at a particular temperature, it is termed a supersaturated solution.
  • It contains some solute in undissolved form.
  • For example - the solubility of sugar is 204 g in 100 g of water if more sugar is added to this solution it will be called a supersaturated solution.

Hence, option (B) is correct. A salt solution that can not dissolve more of a solute at a given temperature is called a saturated solution.
