Solution

Any solution containing more solute than required to prepare a saturated solution at any fixed temperature is called supersaturated solution.

Supersaturated solution is a meta-stable state i.e. it will remain in supersaturated state so long it is left undisturbed. A slight disturbance (e.g. slight rise or fall of temperature) will turn it into a saturated solution.

Examples:

1. Carbonated Drinks
2. Lemonade with too much sugar
3. Honey
4. A mixture of powdered soap and water with too much soap.
5. Butter oversaturated with salt
6. Water oversaturated with cocoa powder
7. Coffee oversaturated with creamer powder
8. Maple Syrup
9. Tea with too much sugar
10. Soil oversaturated with nitrogen
