Saltwater is a solution because you can get fresh water and some salt and mix it and then you get saltwater.

If a solute crystallizes out of a solution when seed crystal is added what kind of solution is it?

It is a supersaturated solution. These solutions are formed when a saturated solution with excess solute in it (like saltwater with extra salt on the bottom) is heated until all the solute dissolves. When the solution is cooled, the extra solute remains in solution--thus supersaturated because more solute is dissolved than should be at that temperature. The seed crystal provides an opportunity for the extra solute to come out of solution.


Using saltwater as a example What is s solute mean?
