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

When solid is dissolved in a liquid?

When a solid is dissolved in a liquid, the liquid is said to be the solvent and the solid is to be the solute. The liquid that you get after dissolving the solid into the liquid is called the solution. When a solute dissolves, the solvent particles attract the particles of the solute away which breaks the cluster of particles apart. After dissolving enough amount that the solvent cannot dissolve more, the solution is said to be saturated. It is the state when the solution cannot dissolve anymore solute. The opposite of solution is suspension. A suspension is when the solute cannot be dissolved (that is, it is insoluble) into the solvent and stays suspended in the solvent. A suspension is translucent and the suspended particles can be easily seen. While, in a solution, the particles are soluble and complete dissolve into the solvent. A solution is transparent and the particles are too small to be seen through naked eyes.


Which statement best describes the formation of a solution?

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two (or more) substances, such that particles of the solvent and solute cannot be distinguished by the naked eye. A solution is stable and its components cannot be separated by filtration or other mechanical means. A solution can be gas in gas, or it can be solid, liquid or gas in solid or liquid.


If you have a solution that is saturated how you dissolve the excess solute?

Heat up the solvent. Solubility of most solid solutes increases with temperatue.


What is saturated solution define simply?

The maximum amount of solute is dissolved in it-apex


How do the methods of speeding the rate of solution for dissolving a solid in a liquid compare to the methods of speeding the rate of solution when dissolving a gas in a liquid?

Heat (in most cases) has an opposite effect on the solubility of solids as compared to gases. Almost all solids will dissolve faster in a liquid at higher temperatures, whereas gases will dissolve in a liquid faster at lower temperatures (as long as the temperature is not so low that the liquid in question freezes).

What happen when liquid mixed with solid?

If the solid is soluble (can dissolve) then it will dissolve in the liquid and give you a solution.


How can you dissolve a solid faster?

You could crush the solid, stir the solution, and/or heat the solution.


What is a solid in a solution?

A precipitate is a solid in a solution. The precipitate will not dissolve in the solution, it is insoluble!! The opposite of a precipitate is a solute.


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.


Are all mixtures a solution?

No, a solution involves a solvent and a solute. the solution must be truly homogenous and if you have a solid in a solid, you cannot have a homogenous solution on a molecular level anyway. If you have a solid in a liquid and it doesn't dissolve, it is still not a solution. If you have two gases, this could be considered a solution also. Liquid in liquid and solid DISSOLVED in liquid can be considered solutions

What is the name given to liquid which dissolve solid?

The liquid is called a solvent. It has the ability to dissolve solid particles, forming a solution.


If the solid cannot dissolve it is?

If a solid cannot dissolve, it means it is insoluble in the solvent. This could be due to the nature of the solid's molecular structure or the lack of compatibility with the solvent.


Why doesn't solute added to a saturated solution dissolve?

In a saturated solution, the rate of dissolution and precipitation are in equilibrium. Therefore, when solute is added, the solution is already at the maximum capacity to hold the solute. This causes the additional solute to remain as solid, as it cannot dissolve further without increasing the temperature or changing the conditions.


When a solid dissolve in water what is the mixture called?

It is called a solution.


What do you call if the solid do not dissolve in a liquid they are called?

If something can dissolve it is soluble if it cannot it is insoluble.


Saturated solution will usually dissolve more solid solutes if it is?

heated, as the increase in temperature generally increases the solubility of solids in liquids. However, once a solution is saturated, adding more solute will not dissolve and will instead remain as solid at the bottom of the container.
