Question

Consider the following statements:
Statement 1: A solution in which more solute can be dissolved at any particular temperature is known as saturated solution.
Statement 2: Solute is the component of a solution which is generally present in lesser quantity.
Now, choose the correct option.

• A. Both the statements are correct
• B. Both the statements are incorrect
• C. Only statement 1 is correct
• D. Only statement 2 is correct

Answer 1

The correct option is D Only statement 2 is correct

A solution which can dissolve more amount of solute in a fixed amount of solvent, at a given temperature is known as an unsaturated solution.
Solute is the component of a solution which is generally present in lesser quantity.
Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
