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 solution in which the dissolved solute is in equilibrium with undissolved solute?

A saturated solution.


What is a solution that can dissolve no more than solute?

A saturated solution is one that can dissolve no more of the solute at a given temperature and pressure. This means that the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved in the solvent, and any additional solute will not dissolve and will instead form a precipitate.


When you add so much solute that no more dissolves what do you have?

A saturated solution is made when you have added so much solute that no more dissolves. The amount of solute needed to make a saturated solution will change with the temperature of the solution.


What term describes a solution that contains too much solute.?

An oversaturated solution describes a solution that contains more solute than can normally dissolve in the solvent at a given temperature. This can lead to the precipitation of excess solute as solid crystals.


What is the name of a solution that contains maximum amount of solute at a given temperature?

A solution that contains the maximum amount of solute at a given temperature is called a saturated solution. This means that the solution is holding as much solute as it can at that specific temperature, with no additional solute able to dissolve.


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.


What happens when you add more solute to a saturated solution?

The solute normally doesn't dissolve and sinks to the bottom of the container. However, some saturated solutions can become super-saturated for a given temperature and pressure, by altering the conditions without allowing solute to precipitate.


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.


What solution cannot dissolve any more solute under specified conditions?

A solution that does not allow any more solute to dissolve (at room temperature) is called a SATURATED SOLUTION. But a saturated solution can be made to dissolve more solute by heating it. Then it is called a super saturated solution.The solvent becomes saturated and the no more solute will disolve


Why is a solution saturated?

A solution is saturated when it can hold no more solute, and any additional solute precipitates.


Why is solution saturated?

A solution is saturated when it can hold no more solute, and any additional solute precipitates.


A solution that contains all the solute it can hold at a given temperature?

It is called a saturated solution. This is created by adding in solute until no more solute dissolves. Then the excess solute is filtered. This works much better for a saturated solution at room temperature, as when the solution hits the filter paper, some will come out because it is colder.
