That is called a saturated solution. It has reached a point where it can no longer dissolve any more solute (thing to be dissolved) in the solvent.
This is more info you might find interesting:
Keep in mind compounds dissolve at different rates in solvent. This rate is dependent on heat; goes faster with more. To be sure its not the dissolve rate but saturation you'll need to give it time. Of course a quick fix for a saturated solution is to add more solvent.
Unless the goal is to be saturated, like in hand warmers. An example of a super saturated solution. Crystal sodium acetate trihydrate is dissolved in water until the saturation point. It is heated to force more to dissolve and then is allowed to cool down. Once it has cooled the sodium acetate (NaOAc) is still dissolved in solution but is now unstable and easily recrystallized. If even a single crystal more NaOAc is added the entire solution will recrystallize. This recrystallization actually has a surprising effect. It produces heat as an exothermic reaction. That is why this property is used in hand warmers.

What does it mean a mixture has become saturated?
there is more solute than solvent in the mixture.
What is the relationship between solute solvent solution saturated unsaturated and supersaturated?
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.
What is the difference in saturated and supersaturated?
no
What does it mean for a solution to be super saturated?
Under some circumstances it is possible to dissolve more of a solute into a solution than the nominal solubility of that solute would allow. A saturated solution is one that contains all the solute that will normally dissolve, and a supersaturated solution contains even more of that solute. If the solution is disturbed in some way (the appearance of a nucleating particle, stirring, etc.) then the excess solute will precipitate from the solution, or in the case of a gas, will bubble out of the solution.
The disturbance of a supersaturated solution will cause?
A supersaturated solution is when there is more solute present in the solution than can be absorbed by the solvent. When it is disturbed, all of the solute that is not in solution falls out, sometimes forming crystals.
What solution contains all the solute it can hold?
"saturated"
When all the sloute a solution can hold is dissolved?
When all the solute a solution can hold is dissolved, it is called a saturated solution. It contains the highest concentration possible for a solution.
A solution that contains all the solute it can hold at a given temperature?
It is called a saturated solution. This is created by adding in solute until no more solute dissolves. Then the excess solute is filtered. This works much better for a saturated solution at room temperature, as when the solution hits the filter paper, some will come out because it is colder.
When all the solute that the solution can hold is dissolved?
Then the solution is said to be saturated.
Is a aqueous solution a solution that contains all the solute that it can hold?
the solution itself, yes. it must contain water to be called an aqueous solution. the term aqueous designates water as the solvent/diluent.
What does it mean a mixture has become saturated?
there is more solute than solvent in the mixture.
What is the relationship between solute solvent solution saturated unsaturated and supersaturated?
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.
What is the difference in saturated and supersaturated?
no

What is the solution that has dissolved all the solute in it?
This is not a saturated solution.
What is the difference between solution and concentrared solution?
A solution is a solute dissolved in a solvent. A concentrated solution is all the solute that be dissolved in a solvent at normal temperature. A super-concentrated solution is all the solute that can be dissolved in a solution after mixing in the solute during high temperature / pressure. The concentration after cooling to normal temperature / pressure is greater than a regular concentrated solution.
When all the solute a solution can dissolve?
Saturated
