How can you convert a saturated solution into an unsaturated one?

Open in App
Solution

Saturated solution

A solution which will not dissolve anymore solute is called a saturated solution.

​​​​​ Unsaturated solution

A solution in which more of the solute will dissolve is called an unsaturated solution.

Thus inorder to conver a saturated solution into an un-saturated solution is by dilution process(adding more solvent)
. On dilution the concentration of solution decreases thus it requires more salt to be added to it to make it as saturated solution.

Another method is heating
By heating the solution a saturated solution can be changed into an unsaturated solution.


Example: on heating a saturated solution of sugar in high temperature, it starts dissolving.
