Question

Define the following

• Saturated solution

Answer 1

• A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances is called a solution
• it is also called a true solution
• The two main components of the solution are solute and solvent
• Solute: The component usually presents in the lesser quantity of the solution that is dissolved in the solvent is called the solute. it can be a gas, liquid, solid
• Solvent: The component usually present in the larger quantity of the solution that dissolves the other component in it is called the solvent, it can be a gas, liquid,

Depending upon the amount of solute present in a given amount of solvent, it is classified as the saturated and unsaturated solution

Saturated solution

• A solution in which no more amount of solute can be dissolved at a given temperature is called a saturated solution
• A saturated solution is a solution that is in equilibrium concerning a given dissolved substance.
• Example - Carbonated drink is an example of a saturated solution of carbon dioxide (CO₂) dissolved in water.
