A solution refers to any combination of a solvent - water, for example - and a solute - such as sodium. So in salt water, H2O is the solvent which solvates the solute, NaCl. There might be just a little salt in the water, or a lot; in either case it is a solution.
A saturated solution is when there is so much of the solute in the solution that no more will dissolve. Imagine adding salt to a glass of water, while stirring continuously. For a long time, the salt would be solvated (dissolved), and disappear. Eventually however, you would reach the saturation point - the water becomes unable to "hold" any more salt, so you would see the salt start to simply collect on the glass bottom.
In short, the definition of a saturated solution is one that cannot dissolve any more of the solute. Different solvent and solute combinations all have different saturation points; the solvent may be able to hold a lot of one compound, but perhaps just a little bit of another.

How to tell the difference between saturated and unsaturated fats?
Saturated fats are solid at room temperature and come from animal sources, while unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature and come from plant sources. You can tell the difference by looking at the physical state of the fat and its source.
Describe how you can tell the difference between an unsaturated solution and a saturated solution?
An unsaturated solution can dissolve more solute at a given temperature, whereas a saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in the solvent at that temperature. You can tell the difference by observing whether there is still undissolved solute present in the solution (unsaturated) or if the solution is clear with no solute visible (saturated).
How do you know when a salt solution is saturated?
You can tell when a solution is saturated because if it is, you can see solid particles of the solute in the liquid. These particles do not dissolve even if the solution is stirred vigourously.
What is one way to tell that a solid has formed a solution with water?
One way to tell that a solid has formed a solution with water is if the solid has completely dissolved in the water, resulting in a clear and homogeneous mixture. You can observe this by checking if there are no visible solid particles remaining in the water.
How can you tell a precipitate?
Do you mean after you've carried out a chemical reaction? The precipitate is the solid that forms after the solution has become saturated, ie; it will not dissolve anymore.You can also calculate if a precipitate forms using the Ionic Product and Ks.
How can you can tell if a fat is saturated?
If it is solid at room temperature but melts when heated.
How does a liquid liquid solution form?
A liquid-solid solution is when a liquid turns to a solid. You can tell because if you put a glass of water in the freezer, it will turn to ice (solid).
How can you tell when a liquid has become saturated?
A solution is saturated when it is no longer possible to dissolve an additional quantity of solute, at constant temperature.
How does a solutions form?
A liquid-solid solution is when a liquid turns to a solid. You can tell because if you put a glass of water in the freezer, it will turn to ice (solid).
How can you tell when a solution has been saturated?
Remove a drop of the solution with a glass rod and see whether any solid forms when the drop cools.
How does a liquid-solid solution form?
As a general rule, chemical reactions can be identified by a number of signs, including precipitation (solids floating in the liquid), effervenscance (bubbling and fizzing), heat being given off or a colour change.
The easiest way to tell a suspention from a solution is by?
The easiest way to tell the difference is by observing weather the particle of the solid are clumping at the bottom (suspension) or dispersed evenly throughout the liquid (solution)
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.
How to tell the difference between saturated and unsaturated fats?
Saturated fats are solid at room temperature and come from animal sources, while unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature and come from plant sources. You can tell the difference by looking at the physical state of the fat and its source.

Vinegar in a solution Name the solvent?
Tell me what else is in the solution. Solution containing a liter of vinegar plus a tablespoon of salt--the vinegar is the solvent. Solution containing a liter of vinegar plus a thousand liters of water--the water is the solvent. (Solutes can be either solid, liquid or gas--oxygen, a gas; diethylene glycol, a liquid; and salt, a solid, all dissolve in water.)
How can you tell if fat is saturated?
Saturated fats have no double bonds in their chemical structure. They are “saturated” with hydrogen atoms. Because of their chemical structure, they have a solid consistency at room temperature.
