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

A solution that contains more than it would normallyhold at that temperature is said to be what?

Supersaturated.


What is the name of a solution that contains maximum amount of solute at a given temperature?

Solutions can either be unsaturated, saturated, or supersaturated. In the case of your question, a solution with the maximum amount of dissolved solute is deemed to be saturated.


What solution contains more solute than predicted at a given temperature?

A solution containing more solute than can theoretically be dissolved at a given temperature is called a supersaturated solution.


What is the difference in saturated and supersaturated?

no


When you add so much solute that no more dissolves what do you have?

A saturated solution is made when you have added so much solute that no more dissolves. The amount of solute needed to make a saturated solution will change with the temperature of the solution.


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.


What Contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute for a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature and pressure?

a saturated solution


Is a Solution that holds more solute than it normally would be saturated solution?

No, if it holds MORE than it should it is supersaturated.The term supersaturation refers to a solution that contains more of the dissolved material than could be dissolved by the solvent under normal circumstances.Saturation is the point at which a solution of a substance can dissolve no more of that substance (under normal circumstances) and additional amounts of it will appear as a precipitate.


A solution that contains as much dissolved solid as it possibly can?

It is called a saturated solution. The actual amount of solid dissolved depends on the solid, the solvent (liquid) and the temperature.


What solutions one that contains as much solute as can be dissolved in the solvent?

That solution is called saturated.


What happens when you add more of a material to water than will it dissolve?

no i t will notansw2. the solution has become saturated, or even 'supersaturated' when it contains more solute than it can support when the temperature drops.


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
