What is meant by a solution being saturated?
When a solution is saturated that indicates that solution is at a maximum concentration. The solvent is unable to dissolve more of the solute. If more of the solute it placed in the solution, it will not dissolve, yet rather sit at the bottom as a crystallised form. The temperature can also affect the capacity of the solvent's abilities to dissolve the solute eg. it is easier to dissolve sugar into a drink if it is hot than when it is cold. Sometimes if the drink cools down, the crystals settle at the bottom. -- Neenish Tart
What will appear at the bottom of the solution if you lower the temperature if a saturated solution?
If you lower the temperature of a saturated solution, some of the solute may begin to precipitate out of the solution and settle at the bottom. This is because solubility generally decreases with decreasing temperature, so the excess solute that was dissolved at the higher temperature will no longer be able to remain in solution at the lower temperature.
What is the evidence that a solution is saturated?
The presence of undissolved solute at the bottom of a container, the absence of visible changes in the solution after more solute is added, and reaching a point where the solute starts to precipitate out of the solution are all evidence that a solution is saturated.
What is saturated solution and an unsaturated solution?
A saturated solution contains a liquid (solvent) and a solid (solute). In a solution that dissolves, the solute dissolves in the solvent. An example of this is table salt (NaCl) in Water (H20). When you stir some salt into water, it dissolves. However, when there is too much salt in proportion to water, there are leftovers at the bottom. This indicates that the solution is saturated. Put simply, It means that there is not enough solvent to dissolve the solute. This happens because of dipole forces of the solvent attracting to ends of the solute. In a salt water solution, there needs to be about 6 water molecules to every 1 salt molecule. When there is too much of the salt, the solid falls to the bottom (precipitate). An Unsaturated solution is simply one that has not passed this critical ratio of molecules.
How would you test for the saturation of the solution?
The solution which is saturated cannot dissolve more solute in it.So when the solutes stops dissolving in the solution the solution is saturated.You can drop a crystal of solute in the solution and the crystal do not dissolve then the solution is saturated.
If the crystal sits at the bottom of the container what type of solution is it?
If the crystal sits at the bottom of the container, it indicates that the solution is likely saturated. This means that the solvent has dissolved the maximum amount of solute possible at that temperature, and any additional solute will not dissolve. The presence of undissolved crystals suggests that the solution has reached its solubility limit.
How are solution made?
You add a solute to a solution until the solution will not dissolve any more of the solute and additional solute just settles to the bottom of the solution. At this point the solution is saturated.
What do you call part of a solution that was originally solid?
There are two parts to a solution. The solute and the solvent. The solute is dissolved into the solvent, so that indicates that the solute was once solid.
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.

Saturated solution is a solution that has dissolved all the solute it can at a specific?
Saturated solution is a solution where the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved at a given temperature, resulting in equilibrium between the dissolved solute and undissolved solute. Any additional solute added beyond this point will not dissolve and will settle at the bottom of the container.
What is the evidence that a solution is saturated?
The presence of undissolved solute at the bottom of a container, the absence of visible changes in the solution after more solute is added, and reaching a point where the solute starts to precipitate out of the solution are all evidence that a solution is saturated.
What does an unsaturated solution look like?
An unsaturated solution is one where the solvent can dissolve more solute at a given temperature. It appears clear and transparent with the solute particles fully dissolved in the solvent. There may not be any visible solute particles at the bottom of the container.
What is a solution that contains the maximum amount of a solute it can hold?
A saturated solution is a solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent at a given temperature. At this point, any additional solute added will not dissolve and will settle at the bottom of the container.
If a solute crystallizes out of a solution when seed crystal is added what kind of solution is it?
It is a supersaturated solution. These solutions are formed when a saturated solution with excess solute in it (like saltwater with extra salt on the bottom) is heated until all the solute dissolves. When the solution is cooled, the extra solute remains in solution--thus supersaturated because more solute is dissolved than should be at that temperature. The seed crystal provides an opportunity for the extra solute to come out of solution.
Additional solute will not dissolve in a?
saturated solution because the solution is already at its maximum capacity to dissolve solute at that temperature. Any additional solute added will simply remain as solid undissolved particles at the bottom of the container.
