Saturated solutions
Unsaturated solutions
1. Solution in which no more amount of solute can be added in a given solvent at a given temperature. 1.Solution in which more amount of solute can be added in a given solvent at a given temperature.
2. With an increase in temperature, the saturation of the solution decreases. 2. Unsaturation increases with an increase in temperature.
3. Does not show precipitation at the bottom of the container. 3. It can show precipitation at the bottom of the container.
4. Example, Carbonated water is saturated with carbon, hence it gives off carbon through bubbles. 4. Example, sand in water.
