If you are the person saturating the solution, you would add the solute (the substance being disolved, for instance salt) into the solvent ( the substance doing the disolving, for instance water) until you can see undisolved solute. Then you know the solution (the mixture of the two) is saturated at that particular temperature.
If someone hands you a solution and asks you if it is saturated and no solute is visible, cool it and see how quickly the solute precipitates. If it is immediate, the solution was (and still is) saturated. If you can lower it several degrees without visible solute precipitation, it was not saturated in the first place (at its original temperature).
Most solid/liquid solutions are temperature dependent, ie the higher the temperature the more solute to attain saturation. Also, some substances will change the temperature of the solution as they are added, thereby complicatiing the situation.
But for now, if you are a beginning chemist, the first two paragraphs will suffice and the third is for next year. Stick with it, chemistry is fun !!

You can determine if the solution is saturated by adding a small amount of salt to the solution. If the salt dissolves, the solution is unsaturated. If the added salt does not dissolve and collects at the bottom of the container, the solution is saturated.
The amount of Epsom salt in a saturated solution depends on factors such as temperature and pressure. At room temperature, approximately 115 grams of Epsom salt can dissolve in 100 mL of water to form a saturated solution.
No, a saturated salt solution will have a lower freezing point compared to pure water. The presence of salt interferes with the formation of ice crystals, making it harder for the solution to freeze.
first, table salt is not a saturated solution, because you can't see through it. it needs to be liquid, and solutions become a saturated solution when you put as much as you can in the water. now, it's a solution and it is saturated.
a solution which contain more solute than saturated solution
It will be saturated salt solution with salt crystals at the bottom of the container.
You can determine if the solution is saturated by adding a small amount of salt to the solution. If the salt dissolves, the solution is unsaturated. If the added salt does not dissolve and collects at the bottom of the container, the solution is saturated.
No, adding more salt to a saturated solution will not dissolve. The solution is already at its maximum capacity to dissolve salt at that temperature and pressure.
The concentration of the salt solution does NOT change- it is saturated.
The fastest way is to add more salt - if the additional salt falls out of solution and forms a precipitate on the bottom of the container, the solution is saturated.
This salt solution is saturated at room temperature.
When you first mix the salt into the solution the salt will dissolve into the water. As you keep on pouring more salt into the water eventually the salt will stop dissolving and once the salt stops dissolving the solution is then saturated.
From your question it is impossible to tell. A salt-water solution can be unsaturated or saturated depending on how much salt was added.

Yes
The solution is saturated when no more solute dissolves in the solvent.
