It depends on the amount of salt and the amount of water. If there is only a little salt, it is probably unsaturated. That means more salt could be dissolved into the solution. If there is quite a bit of salt, it is more than likely saturated. If you add more salt and it just floats to the bottom, it is saturated. Unless it is supersaturated of course. For the solution to be supersaturated, you would have had to boil the water, add salt to the point where it stops dissolving into the boiling hot solution, then let the solution cool down. So, it can be any of the three.

Type in "What type of solution is salt water supersatured unsaturated or just saturated" and it will tell you. :-) :D p.s. potter puppet pals rule

add more of the solute, if its saturated, it won't dissolve

If it's dry, it's unsaturated, eg: red wine is a dry wine.

The fastest way is to add more salt - if the additional salt falls out of solution and forms a precipitate on the bottom of the container, the solution is saturated.

Is salt mix in water a saturated solution?

When you first mix the salt into the solution the salt will dissolve into the water. As you keep on pouring more salt into the water eventually the salt will stop dissolving and once the salt stops dissolving the solution is then saturated.


Which solution containing 2.4g salt per 5ml of water are saturated at room temperature?

This salt solution is saturated at room temperature.

Will a solution of saturated salt and water freeze?

Yes, it will.


Is saltwater solution saturated or unsaturated?

From your question it is impossible to tell. A salt-water solution can be unsaturated or saturated depending on how much salt was added.


What is the solution of table salt in water?

first, table salt is not a saturated solution, because you can't see through it. it needs to be liquid, and solutions become a saturated solution when you put as much as you can in the water. now, it's a solution and it is saturated.


What will be the solution name if you put more salt in saturated salt solution?

It will be saturated salt solution with salt crystals at the bottom of the container.


Is dead sea saturated dilute or concentrated solution?

The Dead Sea is a saturated solution because it has an excessive amount of salt at its bottom.


What is Super saturate solution?

a solution which contain more solute than saturated solution


Why would crystals diffuse faster in hot water than in cold water?

It depends how saturated the salt solution is. The more saturated with salt, the faster crystals will form.


How can you determine the amount of salt presented in a saturated solution?

Only by experiments. For example the solution is heated, water is evaporated and the salt weighed.


What is brine in chemistry?

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.
