Solution

Saturated solution
A solution in which the amount of dissolved solute is equal to the saturation point of the solvent, the solution is called a saturated solution.
Saturated solution after cooling:
After cooling the saturated solution the solubility of the solute decreases.
Due to this, it starts forming solid crystals of dissolved solute substance.
Therefore, the solubility of solute will decrease if a saturated solution is cooled.
