Would more water fix a saturated solution?

I do not understand your question; however, I can say that if you add water to a saturated solution, it isn't saturated, anymore.


How does adding water to a saturated solution make it all dissolve?

When you add water to the saturated solution, there is more solvent to dissolve the solute. The saturated solution becomes diluted, so it is no longer saturated.


What should be done to solve more sugar in a saturated solution of sugar water?

if under room temperature its a saturated solution then u can heat the solution to add more sugar to it


How do you make a solution saturated?

all you have to do is add sugar into boiling water. the sugar will dissolve and make saturated sugar!!


How do you produce a saturated solution?

A saturated solution is one in which the no more solute can be dissolved in the solution and then becomes precipitate. Imagine a glass of water and some sugar. You dissolve the sugar in the water and add more sugar until not one grain more will dissolve--the solution is now "saturated" with sugar.


If you add 240 g of sugar 50 mL of boiling water what will the solution be?

saturated


Can a saturated solution be a dilute solution?

Yes, just remove some of the solvent. If you want to see this for yourself, mix a little salt and water together. Then leave it stand so most of the water evaporates. You have saturated a dilute solution.


What is the evidence that the solution is saturated?

The evidence that a solution is saturated, is that if you add more solute, it doesn't dissolve.

No


How can you find out if salt in water is a saturated solution?

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.


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.
