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.


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.


Is a Solution that holds more solute than it normally would be saturated 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.


A supersaturated solution contains less dissolved solute than a saturated solution at the same temperature?

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.


What is the type of solution with so much solute that no more will dissolve?

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.

How can you dissolve solutes in an already saturated solution?

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

What are a few examples of a supersaturated solution?

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.
