That is called a saturated solution. It has reached a point where it can no longer dissolve any more solute (thing to be dissolved) in the solvent.
This is more info you might find interesting:
Keep in mind compounds dissolve at different rates in solvent. This rate is dependent on heat; goes faster with more. To be sure its not the dissolve rate but saturation you'll need to give it time. Of course a quick fix for a saturated solution is to add more solvent.
Unless the goal is to be saturated, like in hand warmers. An example of a super saturated solution. Crystal sodium acetate trihydrate is dissolved in water until the saturation point. It is heated to force more to dissolve and then is allowed to cool down. Once it has cooled the sodium acetate (NaOAc) is still dissolved in solution but is now unstable and easily recrystallized. If even a single crystal more NaOAc is added the entire solution will recrystallize. This recrystallization actually has a surprising effect. It produces heat as an exothermic reaction. That is why this property is used in hand warmers.

What is the relationship between solute solvent solution saturated unsaturated and supersaturated?
A solute dissolves in a solvent to form a solution; all the time that more of the solute can be dissolved it is unsaturated, but once the solution can hold no more of the solute it has become saturated.
Is saturated a soulution that contains all solute and can be dissolved with out changing temperature?
A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a given temperature. If a solution is saturated, adding more solute will not dissolve into the solution without changing the temperature.
What is the difference in saturated and supersaturated?
no
What does it mean for a solution to be super saturated?
Under some circumstances it is possible to dissolve more of a solute into a solution than the nominal solubility of that solute would allow. A saturated solution is one that contains all the solute that will normally dissolve, and a supersaturated solution contains even more of that solute. If the solution is disturbed in some way (the appearance of a nucleating particle, stirring, etc.) then the excess solute will precipitate from the solution, or in the case of a gas, will bubble out of the solution.
What does it mean a mixture has become saturated?
When a mixture is saturated, it means that it has reached its maximum capacity to dissolve a solute at a particular temperature. Any additional solute added will not be able to dissolve further in the mixture.
What solution contains all the solute it can hold?
A saturated solution contains all the solute it can hold at a given temperature. At this point, the solute is in equilibrium with the solvent, and any additional solute added will not dissolve.
When all the sloute a solution can hold is dissolved?
When all the solute a solution can hold is dissolved, it is called a saturated solution. It contains the highest concentration possible for a solution.
What is the relationship between solute solvent solution saturated unsaturated and supersaturated?
A solute dissolves in a solvent to form a solution; all the time that more of the solute can be dissolved it is unsaturated, but once the solution can hold no more of the solute it has become saturated.
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.
When all the solute that the solution can hold is dissolved?
Then the solution is said to be saturated.
Is saturated a soulution that contains all solute and can be dissolved with out changing temperature?
A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a given temperature. If a solution is saturated, adding more solute will not dissolve into the solution without changing the temperature.
Is a aqueous solution a solution that contains all the solute that it can hold?
the solution itself, yes. it must contain water to be called an aqueous solution. the term aqueous designates water as the solvent/diluent.

What is saturated solution and an unsaturated solution?
A saturated solution contains a liquid (solvent) and a solid (solute). In a solution that dissolves, the solute dissolves in the solvent. An example of this is table salt (NaCl) in Water (H20). When you stir some salt into water, it dissolves. However, when there is too much salt in proportion to water, there are leftovers at the bottom. This indicates that the solution is saturated. Put simply, It means that there is not enough solvent to dissolve the solute. This happens because of dipole forces of the solvent attracting to ends of the solute. In a salt water solution, there needs to be about 6 water molecules to every 1 salt molecule. When there is too much of the salt, the solid falls to the bottom (precipitate). An Unsaturated solution is simply one that has not passed this critical ratio of molecules.
What does it mean a mixture has become saturated?
When a mixture is saturated, it means that it has reached its maximum capacity to dissolve a solute at a particular temperature. Any additional solute added will not be able to dissolve further in the mixture.
What is the solution that has dissolved all the solute in it?
This is not a saturated solution.
