Question

A saturated solution can be converted to an unsaturated solution by __________ the saturated solution or by ___________ to the saturated solution.

• A. Heating
• B. Adding more of the solvent

Answer 1

• A solution in which more of the solute can be dissolved at a given temperature is known as an unsaturated solution.
• A solution that cannot dissolve any more of the solute at a given temperature is called a saturated solution.
• A saturated solution can also be made unsaturated by adding more solvent to it.
• The solubility of a solid usually increases with an increase in temperature.
• When we increase the temperature of the saturated solution, then it converts into an unsaturated solution.

A saturated solution can be converted to an unsaturated solution by heating the saturated solution or by adding solvent to the saturated solution.
