Solution

At any particular temperature, a solution that has dissolved as much solute as it is capable of dissolving, is said to be a saturated solution.
An unsaturated solution can become more saturated by lowering the temperature. Because the solvent vibrates less, less solution can be dissolved at once, creating a greater saturation.
