Question

Define the following

• Unsaturated 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 lesser 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

Unsaturated solution

• If the amount of solute contained in a solution is less than the saturation level, it is called an unsaturated solution
• A solution not in equilibrium concerning a dissolved substance given and in which more substance can be dissolved in the solution itself.
• Example: NaCl (salt) in water if the quantity of dissolved salt is below the saturation level.
