Brine is essentially salty water, usually with sodium chloride. It's saturated, or very nearly saturated, meaning that its at the point where no, or little more salt could be dissolved into the solution.
An example of a saturated solution, would be to add salt, sodium chloride, to water until no more salt will dissolve in the water. When no more salt will dissolved the solution is said to be saturated.

You can make a saturated solution of anything in any solvent. The question is how much will actually be dissolved in the saturated solution. A saturated solution of salt in water will obviously have a LOT of salt in it. A saturated solution of sand in water won't have any dissolved sand at all! It'll still be saturated. What you want to know is what the solubility of benzoic acid is in methylene chloride. That I don't know. One way to find out is just add a known amount of benzoic acid to the solvent and see if it dissolves. If you search the scientific literature of organic synthesis, I'm sure the solubility of benzoic acid is known in a variety of solvents, although methylene chloride isn't the most common. I found this in the MSDS (see link to the left): SOLUBILITY IN WATER: 2.9% @ 20 C SOLVENT SOLUBILITY: Soluble in alcohol, ether, benzene, chloroform,acetone, carbon disulfide, oil of turpentine, carbon tetrachloride, fixed and volatile oils; slightly soluble in petroleum ether, hexane. The other link, ChemicalForums.com, seems to imply that it is soluble, but no data is given. Check out this for more on benzoic acid: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzoic_acid
In a saturated solution, if you add any more of the substance that the solution is saturated with, it will either not dissolve or cause some of the existing solute to precipitate or separate. The one caveat is that it is possible to achieve a "supersaturated solution" by careful manipulation of a solution to bring it into a metastable state. One common way to achieve supersaturation is to cool a saturated solution in a container which is so smooth that it lacks nucleation sites.
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.
The common ion is chloride (Cl-).

what distinguishing characteristic is common in the names of saturated hydrocarbons?
supersaturated
most common is to seal it and provider least contact with air or else you can turn it into saturated fatty acid . salt is also a good solution but it may change the texture and taste.
glycerol
stearic acidlinolenic acid
neither, a common salt solution is neutral
Any mixture with substances with two or more phases are known as heterogeneous mixtures. Among the common examples are a system of a saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate in contact with solid and melting ice in contact with liquid water.
