Saturated solutions at a given temperature can be changed to unsaturated solution by __________.

Solution

Saturated Solution: A solution in which no more solute can be dissolved at a given temperature is called a saturated solution.

Unsaturated solution: Those solutions in which the amount of dissolved solute is lower than the saturation point of the solvent is known as an unsaturated solution.

Saturated solution after heating:

On heating a saturated solution it becomes unsaturated. Because of the application of heat to a saturated solution, the intermolecular space between the particles increases due to an increase in the kinetic energy of the particles, this allows more solutes to dissolve in the solution and makes the solution unsaturated.

Conclusion:

Therefore, Saturated solutions at a given temperature can be changed to unsaturated solutions by heating.
