From your question it is impossible to tell. A salt-water solution can be unsaturated or saturated depending on how much salt was added.
A graph can illustrate what solution is saturated and unsaturated. If the point is on the line, then the solution is saturated, while if is below the line, the solution is unsaturated.
why it is significant to know wheter a solution is saturated or unsaturated
Saturated solution is a solution that did dissolve to the maximum capacity. Unsaturated solution is a solution that didn't dissolve to the maximum capacity.
The solution is said to be unsaturated. If the max amount is dissolved at a given temperature, then the solution is saturated.
unsaturated and saturated
ambot lng ..!!
Hmmm........... their is a primary difference between saturated and non saturated solution i.e the saturated solution has no more tendencey or capacity to dissolve some more solute while unsaturated solution can dissolve more solute to extent it become saturated.............Ajwa
An unsaturated solution has excess solvent and can still dissolve more solute.A saturated solution cannot dissolve any more solute, it will simply stay separate.

saturated,,,,, unsaturated,,,, supersaturated,,,,, .............................khrixlie.........
A solution that contains the maximum amount of solute is NOT an unsaturated solution.It is called to be saturated instead.
D. A saturated solution. In a saturated solution, the rate of dissolution of solute is equal to the rate of precipitation of solute, leading to a state of dynamic equilibrium between the dissolved and undissolved solute.
