Solution

A solution that can not dissolve any more of the solute at a given temperature is known as a saturated solution.
A super-saturated solution at a particular temperature is one that is more concentrated (contains more solute) than its saturated solution at that temperature.
When we heat a saturated solution then it dissolves some more solute in it. Then cool it back to room temperature, and we will get a super-saturated solution since it holds more solute than it holds at that temperature.
Cooling a hot saturated solution prepared at high temperatures results in the formation of the super-saturated solution.
