Solution

Take 100 g of distilled water in a beaker. To this add one gram of copper sulphate crystals.

Stir this mixture with the help of a glass rod and dissolve copper sulphate crystals. Similarly, go on dissolving more of copper sulphate, (1 gram) at a time with constant and vigorous stirring. A stage is reached when no more copper sulphate dissolves. It is called the saturated solution at this temperature.
Take this saturated solution of copper sulphate some solution in a test tube and add some copper sulphate crystals. The crystals do not dissolve but settle down. This indicates that the solution is really saturated.
