No. A supersaturated solution holds more solute than the solvent could normally hold.

A supersaturated solution contains less dissolved solute than a saturated solution at the same temperature?
A solution that contains less than the maximum amount of solute that it is able to hold at a given temperature is unsaturated.
When a solution can hold no more of a solute it is said to be?
A Saturated Solution can no longer hold any more solute in solution.
A solution that contains a high concentration of solute but can hold even more solute is?
An unsaturated solution
How could you increase the concentration of a solution after the saturation point is reached?
With few exceptions, if you increase the temperature of the solvent, you will increase the amount of solute that a solution will hold. So, let's say you have a saturated NaCl solution in water at room temperature. Put the beaker on a hot plate and heat it up, and it will be able to dissolve more salt. Cool it back down and it will become supersaturated (and unstable.)
What solution contains all the solute it can hold?
"saturated"
A supersaturated solution contains less dissolved solute than a saturated solution at the same temperature?
A solution that contains less than the maximum amount of solute that it is able to hold at a given temperature is unsaturated.
When a solution can hold no more of a solute it is said to be?
A Saturated Solution can no longer hold any more solute in solution.
When solution can't hold more solute?
when a solvent can hold no more solute it is called saturated
What is when a solvent can hold more solute than predicted?
It is a supersaturated solution.
What is the difference in saturated and supersaturated?
no
What is the relationship between solute solvent solution saturated unsaturated and supersaturated?
A solute dissolves in a solvent to form a solution; all the time that more of the solute can be dissolved it is unsaturated, but once the solution can hold no more of the solute it has become saturated.
What are the differences between a saturated solutionunsaturated solution and a supersaturated solution?
A saturated solution is where there is more solute in a solution than a solvent. A unsaturated solution is where there is more solvent than solute in a solution. And a super saturated solution is when let's say you boil water and put a bunch of sugar crystals in it,it will hold more solute than when it's cooled. So youhave a bunch of crystals in boiled water, then you cool the water down and sometimes the crystals will stay in the solution. Then it becomes supersaturated. Sorry if I'm wrong. :3
What is supersaturate?
In a simple way,supersaturation is when something contains more than it can hold e.g. a supersaturated solution is one in which the solvent contains more solutes that it can dissolve.
What do we call a solution that has as many ions as it can hold?
This is a saturated solution.
What is the best way to make supersaturated solution?
Use really clean equipment. Heat some water in a beaker so that it will dissolve more solute. Dissolve all that it will hold, to make sure add excess. Decant the liquid into another beaker allow no crystals to be transferred to the new beaker. Allow to cool slowly. Do not agitate. The cool solution will be supersaturated.
What term describes a solution that contains the maximum amount of soluteit can hold?
A solution that has the maximum amount of solute dissolved at that temperature is known as a saturated solution.However it is possible to prepare a super saturated solution by heating the solution slightly, dissolving the maximum amount of solute and then carefully cooling the solution. Generally the super saturated solution is unstable and the excess solute will precipitate out if given the energy to do so.A common super saturated solution is a sugar solution. Sugar is added to water and the solution is heated and then carefully cooled. The solution can form a glass like solid called "toffee" rather than crystals of sugar.
Why is a solution saturated?
A solution is saturated when it can hold no more solute, and any additional solute precipitates.
