Question

How can a saturated solution be made unsaturated without adding solvent to it?

Answer 1

• There are different types of solutions depending upon the amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent to form a solution, i.e..,
• Unsaturated solution: The solution which contains less amount of solute.
• Saturated solution: The solution which contains the maximum amount that can be dissolved at a particular temperature.
• Supersaturated solution: We can make a supersaturated solution by heating the saturated solution and dissolving more amount of solute, resulting in a supersaturated solution and after cooling, crystals of solute will be formed.
• We can heat a saturated solution to make a saturated solution an unsaturated solution without adding solvent to it.
