How a saturated solution can become supersaturated?
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.
A Saturated Solution can no longer hold any more solute in solution.
No, if it holds MORE than it should it is supersaturated.The term supersaturation refers to a solution that contains more of the dissolved material than could be dissolved by the solvent under normal circumstances.Saturation is the point at which a solution of a substance can dissolve no more of that substance (under normal circumstances) and additional amounts of it will appear as a precipitate.
In a supersaturated solution, the solute concentration exceeds the saturation point at that temperature. This is achieved by dissolving the solute in a hot solution and then slowly cooling it down without allowing the excess solute to precipitate out. A saturated solution has the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a given temperature.
The solution is said to be saturated when it contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in the solvent at a given temperature. If there is so much solute that no more will dissolve, the solution is supersaturated. This occurs when additional solute is added beyond the saturation point, leading to a temporary unstable state before the excess solute eventually precipitates out.
Adding more solute the solution become supersaturated.
At a given temperature a solution is saturated when the the solute become insoluble.
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.
Probably with enough heat. Solutions can become supersaturated. "Supersaturated solutions are prepared or result when some condition of a saturated solution is changed, for example temperature, volume (as by evaporation), or pressure." -Wikipedia as a source
This is a saturated solution.
A Saturated Solution can no longer hold any more solute in solution.
when a solvent can hold no more solute it is called saturated

No, evaporation will most likely make the solution supersaturated
A supersaturated solution can be obtained when a saturated solution which is in contact with its solid, is slightly heated in order to increase the solubility product, followed by quick cooling.
