Question

Differentiate between a saturated and an unsaturated solution.

Answer 1

Differentiate between a saturated and an unsaturated solution:

Saturated Solution	Unsaturated solution
1. A saturated solution is a solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved under the condition at which the solution exists.	1. Unsaturated solutions are solutions in which the amount of dissolved solute is less than the saturation point of the solvent.
2. In a saturated solution, no solute can be dissolved even after increasing temperature.	2. In an unsaturated solution, more solute can be dissolved after increasing temperature.
3. Saturated solution can be converted into unsaturated by increasing the temperature of the solution.	3. Unsaturated solution can not be converted into saturated by adding more amount of solute to it.
4. A soda is a saturated solution of carbon dioxide in water.	4. For example, a solution of sugar in water in which more sugar can be dissolved at a given temperature is an unsaturated solution.
