Solution

Saturated solution: A saturated solution is a solution in which no more solute can be added. If the solute is added to such a solution it will not dissolve.
For example, if we add a spoon of sugar to a glass of water it will become a solution.
But if we try to add one bowl of sugar to the same glass it will become saturated.
Now no more sugar can be added to it. If added it will not dissolve.
Unsaturated solution: An unsaturated solution is a solution that has the capacity to add solute into it.
For example, one spoon of sugar is added to a glass of water. More sugar can be added to this solution.
To change a saturated solution to an unsaturated solution we need to increase the temperature provided the process of dissolution of the solid solute is of endothermic nature. Endothermic nature refers to the process in which heat gets absorbed.
