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 heating:
On heating a saturated solution the solubility of solute will increase and it becomes unsaturated.
Because on heating a saturated solution, the intermolecular space between the particles increases due to an increase in the kinetic energy.
This allows more solutes to dissolve in the solution and makes the solution unsaturated.
Therefore, the solubility of solute will increase on the heating of a saturated solution.
