Question

The solution in which no more amount of solute can be dissolved in the solvent at a particular temperature is :

• A. an unsaturated solution
• B. a saturated solution
• C. a supersaturated solution
• D. a mega-saturated solution

Answer 1

The correct option is B

a saturated solution

Solute + Solvent = Solution

The solution in which no more amount of solute can be dissolved in the solvent at a particular temperature is called saturated solution. The solution in which more solute can be dissolved at a given temperature is known as an unsaturated solution.

Moreover, when no more amount of solute can be dissolved in a saturated solution at a particular temperature then its temperature is raised to increase the amount of solute to be dissolved in the solvent and this is known as the supersaturated solution.
