No. A supersaturated solution holds more solute than the solvent could normally hold.
In a supersaturated solution, the solute concentration exceeds the saturation point at that temperature. This is achieved by dissolving the solute in a hot solution and then slowly cooling it down without allowing the excess solute to precipitate out. A saturated solution has the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a given temperature.
An unsaturated solution
A Saturated Solution can no longer hold any more solute in solution.
Most often, by preparing a saturated solution of a substance in a solvent in which the solubility of the substance increases with temperature, then lowering the temperature while taking care to avoid agitation of or the intrusion of solids into the solution.
Supersaturated = Being more concentrated than normally possible and therefore not in equilibrium.
In a supersaturated solution, the solute concentration exceeds the saturation point at that temperature. This is achieved by dissolving the solute in a hot solution and then slowly cooling it down without allowing the excess solute to precipitate out. A saturated solution has the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a given temperature.
The solution is supersaturated. This means it contains more solute than it would normally hold at the given temperature. Agitation causes the excess solute to come out of solution and form a precipitate.

A Saturated Solution can no longer hold any more solute in solution.
when a solvent can hold no more solute it is called saturated
It is a supersaturated solution.
A solution becomes supersaturated when the temperature is raised because higher temperatures increase the solubility of most solutes, allowing more of the solute to dissolve in the solvent. When the solution is then cooled without any solute precipitating out, it can hold more solute than it normally would at the lower temperature, resulting in a supersaturated state. This condition is unstable, and any disturbance can cause the excess solute to crystallize out.
If a solution has more solute than it can hold, it is called supersaturated. This means that the solution is unstable and may precipitate out excess solute if disturbed.
This is called supersaturation. It occurs when a solution contains more solute than it can normally hold at a given temperature, and when the solution cools down, the excess solute remains dissolved until disturbed.
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.
no
The types of solution based on degree of saturation are: Unsaturated solution: Contains less solute than it can dissolve at that temperature. Saturated solution: Contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature. Supersaturated solution: Contains more solute than it can normally hold at that temperature, usually achieved by cooling a saturated solution.
