Question

A solution is said to be ___ if no more solute can be dissolved in it.

Answer 1

The solution is said to be saturated if no more solute can be dissolved in it. A solution is made by adding some solute to a solvent. If we keep adding more solute, there will a point at which no more solute can be dissolved in the solvent. At this point the solution is said to be saturated. Below this point the solution is called unsaturated and above this point it is called supersaturated.
