Question

How will you test whether a given solution is saturated or not?

Answer 1

About the saturated and unsaturated solutions:

1. Unsaturated solution: An unsaturated solution is one in which more solute can be dissolved at a given temperature.
2. Saturated solution: A solution in which the maximum possible amount of a solute is dissolved at a given temperature is known as a saturated solution.

Test for saturation and unsaturation:

1. To test whether a solution is saturated or unsaturated, we add more solute for example., sugar to the solution and stir it thoroughly.
2. If the solute dissolves, the solution is unsaturated.
3. If it remains undissolved, the solution is saturated.
4. If we heat the saturated solution, we can add some more amount of solute at a higher temperature.
