In a saturated solution, the solvent has dissolved the maximum amount of solute it can hold at a given temperature. In an unsaturated solution, the solvent has not dissolved the maximum amount of solute it can hold at that temperature, meaning more solute could still be dissolved.
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).

A solution that contains the maximum amount of solute is NOT an unsaturated solution.It is called to be saturated instead.
D. A saturated solution. In a saturated solution, the rate of dissolution of solute is equal to the rate of precipitation of solute, leading to a state of dynamic equilibrium between the dissolved and undissolved solute.
An unsaturated solution has excess solvent and can still dissolve more solute.A saturated solution cannot dissolve any more solute, it will simply stay separate.
A graph can illustrate what solution is saturated and unsaturated. If the point is on the line, then the solution is saturated, while if is below the line, the solution is unsaturated.
uala lng hehehe..
Hmmm........... their is a primary difference between saturated and non saturated solution i.e the saturated solution has no more tendencey or capacity to dissolve some more solute while unsaturated solution can dissolve more solute to extent it become saturated.............Ajwa
why it is significant to know wheter a solution is saturated or unsaturated
Saturated solution is a solution that did dissolve to the maximum capacity. Unsaturated solution is a solution that didn't dissolve to the maximum capacity.
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).
From your question it is impossible to tell. A salt-water solution can be unsaturated or saturated depending on how much salt was added.
The solution is said to be unsaturated. If the max amount is dissolved at a given temperature, then the solution is saturated.
unsaturated and saturated
ambot lng ..!!
