Differentiate between a saturated and unsaturated solution?

Open in App

Solution

Solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components. A solution is formed by the combination of solute and solvent.

Saturated solution
Unsaturated solution
The solution obtained by dissolving maximum amount of solute at a given temperature is known as saturated solution.
A solution that cannot dissolve any more of the solute at a given temperature is called Saturated solution.
The solution before reaching saturation is called unsaturated solution.
A solution, in which more of the solute can be dissolved at a given temperature is called unsaturated solution.
A saturated solution become unsaturated if the temperature is raised.
Because more of the substance is soluble at higher temperature.
