Solution

Unsaturated solution Saturated solution
1. An unsaturated solution is one in which more solute can be dissolved at a given temperature. 1. A solution in which the maximum possible amount of a solute is dissolved at a given temperature and no more solute can be dissolved further is known as a saturated solution.

2. For example Solution of 10 g sugar in 100 ml water is an unsaturated solution.
2.For example: Seawater is a saturated solution with an excess amount of salt
