Question

In a saturated solution at a given temperature:

• A. no more amount of solute can be dissolved
• B. more amount of solute can be dissolved
• C. more solute can be dissolved only by decreasing temperature
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A no more amount of solute can be dissolved

A saturated solution is a chemical solution containing the maximum concentration of a solute dissolved in the solvent. ​The additional solute will not dissolve in a saturated solution.

Example:

Adding sugar to water until it no longer dissolves creates a saturated solution.

Continuing to dissolve salt in water until it will no longer dissolve creates a saturated solution.
