When a solute cannot be dissolved further in a solvent, at a given temeperature, the solution is saturated; if this amount of solvent is exceeded the solution is oversaturated.

Do all saturated solutions have same density?

No, not all saturated solutions have the same density. The density of a saturated solution depends on the specific solute and solvent involved, as well as the temperature at which the solution was prepared. Different combinations of solutes and solvents can result in saturated solutions with different densities.


If two saturated citric acid solutions made at the same temperature always have the same of what?

If two saturated citric acid solutions are made at the same temperature, they will always have the same concentration of citric acid. At a given temperature, the solubility of citric acid is fixed, resulting in solutions of the same concentration when saturated.


What is the classification of solutions?

Solutions can be classified as saturated (maximum amount of solute dissolved at a given temperature), unsaturated (less solute than saturation point), or supersaturated (more solute than normally possible at that temperature).


What is the differences between concentrated dilute saturated and unsaturated solutions?

Concentrated solutions have high solute concentration, while dilute solutions have low solute concentration. Saturated solutions have the maximum amount of solute dissolved at a specific temperature, while unsaturated solutions can dissolve more solute at that temperature.


Solutions are described as saturated or unsaturated depending on the amount of what?

Solutions are described as saturated or unsaturated depending on the amount of solute that is dissolved in the solvent. A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a given temperature, while an unsaturated solution can dissolve more solute at that temperature.

If two saturated citric acid solutions are made at the same temperature, they will always have the same concentration of citric acid. At a given temperature, the solubility of citric acid is fixed, resulting in solutions of the same concentration when saturated.


What word describes a solution that cannot dissolve any more solid?

Saturated. But you can change the conditions and supersaturate many solutions.


Do unsaturated solutions have less solute then saturated solutions do?

Yes, unsaturated solutions have less solute dissolved in the solvent compared to saturated solutions. Unsaturated solutions can dissolve more solute, while saturated solutions contain the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a given temperature.


When saturated solutions are they usually become unsaturated?

No, the dilute solutions of highly water soluble compounds are unsaturatd as solution of NaCl but dilute solution of AgCl or BaSO4 are saturated because they are very little soluble in water.


A solution in which the concentration of a solute is the maximum possible under existing conditions is said to be?

When a solution has accepted as much solute as is possible at a given temperature, the solution is said to be saturated. Under certain conditions, saturated solutions can be concentrated to give supersaturated solutions. Supersaturated solutions are those which possess more of a solute than normally dissolves in a solvent at a given temperature.


Is it possible for a solution to super saturated?

Yes, it is possible; these solutions are very frequent.


What are the types of solutions?

The types of solution are liquid(aqeous), solid, and gaseous.


On what basis are solutions classified?

Solutions may be: - concentrated or diluted - liquids or solids - stable or unstable - with one or more solutes - saturated or not etc.
