Question

Which of the following are the properties of a saturated solution?

• A. No more amount of solute can be dissolved in it in any case.
• B. More solute can be dissolved on heating.
• C. More solute can be dissolved at same temperature and pressure.
• D. No more solute can be dissolved at same temperature and pressure.

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

The correct options are
B More solute can be dissolved on heating.
D No more solute can be dissolved at same temperature and pressure.

The solution in which no more solute can be dissolved is known as a saturated solution. But on heating the saturated solution, solubility increases and thus more solute can be dissolved.
