Question

A solution that has dissolved as much solute as it is capable of dissolving at a given temperature is:

• A. Only solution
• B. Unsaturated solution
• C. Saturated solution
• D. Concentrated solution

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Saturated solution

The explanation of the correct option:

• A saturated solution is a chemical solution that contains the maximum concentration of a solute dissolved in the solvent. The additional solute will not get dissolved in a saturated solution.
• So, A solution that has dissolved as much solute as it can dissolve at a given temperature is a Saturated solution.

The explanation of the incorrect option:

• When a solute is dissolved in a solvent, we can say it is a solution.
• An unsaturated solution is a chemical solution that contains a solute concentration that is less than that to become a saturated solution.
• Concentrated solution is a solution contains large amount of solute as compared to dilute solution.

So, the correct answer is ‘C’. A solution that has dissolved as much solute as it can dissolve at a given temperature is a Saturated solution.
