The solute normally doesn't dissolve and sinks to the bottom of the container.
However, some saturated solutions can become super-saturated for a given temperature and pressure, by altering the conditions without allowing solute to precipitate.

If more solvent is added to a solution?
Adding solvent will make a solution more diluted. Think of it this way. Take water (solvent) and dissolve salt into it (solute). In order to dilute or increase the ratio of solvent to solute, you would add more water.
Why did the supersaturated solution begin to drop small crystals when the additional sodium thiosulfate was added?
The supersaturated solution begin to drop small crystals when the additional sodium thiosulfate was added because the supersaturated solution got reverted back to a saturated solution. Every solution has it;s own level of saturation, at a certain temperature a limit of the solute can be disolved in it, if you heat the solution the limit changes and more of the solute can be added in the solution. This is a supersaturated solution.When you drop an extra crystal into a supersaturated solution, all the extra crystals that aren't suppose to be in it crystalize out of the solution.
Why does copper sulfate solution crystallize?
i am wondering why as well, someone please ANSWER! Are you talking about those crystal growing kits? If you are then what happens: as the water evaporates, the solution becomes more concentrated and finnaly the amount of the salt in solution exceeds the solubility for the the salt. The salt then falls out of solution. Using the anology- "like dissolves like, the CuSO4 crystals will nucleate upon themselves and othe salts will nucleate on themselves.... that is how you get different colors.
When does the air get saturated?
Air can hold a certain amount of moisture (water vapor) in the mixture of nitrogen, oxygen and other gases. The amount goes up with the temperature. If air is holding as much moisture as possible at a given temperature, it is said to be saturated, and it probably will start precipitating if the temperature drops at all. it is kind of like a saturated solution in which the excess solute will precipitate as solid particles when the solution is cooled. So to dumb it down, it means that no more water can be evaporated in to the air.
What does solute mean?
A solution (from the verb to solve), is the answer to a question, problem, or disagreement.ChemistryA solution consists of one or more liquid, gaseous, or solid substances added to another, usually a liquid, so as to form a homogeneous mixture (a dissolving).
What is a solution that can dissolve no more than solute?
This solution is called a saturated solution, when the solution will dissolve no more of a solute.
What solution cannot dissolve any more solute under specified conditions?
A solution that does not allow any more solute to dissolve (at room temperature) is called a SATURATED SOLUTION. But a saturated solution can be made to dissolve more solute by heating it. Then it is called a super saturated solution.The solvent becomes saturated and the no more solute will disolve
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.
When you add so much solute that no more dissolves you have a saturated solution because?
A saturated solution is a solution that no more solute will dissolve. Once the solution is saturated, any more solute that is added will not dissolve.
When solution can't hold more solute?
when a solvent can hold no more solute it is called saturated
Why is a solution saturated?
A solution is saturated when it can hold no more solute, and any additional solute precipitates.
Why is solution saturated?
A solution is saturated when it can hold no more solute, and any additional solute precipitates.
When you have so much solute that no more dissolves you have a?
A saturated solution is a solution that no more solute will dissolve. Once the solution is saturated, any more solute that is added will not dissolve.
When a solution can hold no more of a solute it is said to be?
A Saturated Solution can no longer hold any more solute in solution.
What visible evidence indicates that a solution is saturated?
If more solute is added to the solution and the solute remains undissolved, then you know that solution is saturated.
What happens when a saturated solution is heated?
When you raise the temperature of a saturated solution; you can add more solute and make it a super saturated solution because the molecules of the solvent will be able to attract more molecules of solute.
How can you make an unsaturated solution saturated?
Add more solute until no more will dissolve. A saturated solution is one into which no more of the solute can be dissolved into.
