a supersaturated solution
A solution whose concentration of solute is equal to the maximum concentration predicted from the solute's solubility is called a saturated solution. In a saturated solution, the solute is in equilibrium with its undissolved form, meaning no more solute can dissolve at that specific temperature and pressure.
The point at which a substance becomes evenly distributed throughout the solution is called equilibrium.
The ability of a solute to dissolve in a solvent at a certain temperature is called solubility. The solubility of most solids in water increases with temperature increases.
A solution with the same solute concentration as another (e.g. human body fluids) is called isotonic.
A solution with lower concentration is called a dilute solution. It contains less dissolved solute in comparison to a more concentrated solution.

equilibrium
The point at which a substance becomes evenly distributed throughout the solution is called equilibrium.
The amount of dissolved substance in a solution is called the concentration of the solution. This can be expressed in various units such as molarity, molality, or weight/volume percentage.
The solution is called isotonic when the cell is in equilibrium. This means that the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell is the same, resulting in no net movement of water across the cell membrane.
The term used to describe a solution that has a lower concentration of solutes compared to another solution is "hypotonic." In a hypotonic solution, there are fewer solute particles relative to the solvent, leading to a lower osmotic pressure. This can result in water moving into the hypotonic solution through a process called osmosis, causing cells in the solution to swell or even burst.
The measure of how much solute is in a solution is called concentration. It is typically expressed as the amount of solute per unit volume or mass of solvent. Concentration can be measured in various units such as molarity, molality, or mass percent.
The ability of a solute to dissolve in a solvent at a certain temperature is called solubility. The solubility of most solids in water increases with temperature increases.
In an isotonic solution, cells reach a point called dynamic equilibrium where there is an equal concentration of solute inside and outside the cell. This means that there is no net movement of water into or out of the cell, maintaining cell volume and function.
A solution with the same solute concentration as another (e.g. human body fluids) is called isotonic.
"Solute per 100g solvent" is the unit given to solubility of a substance.
The concentration of water remains relatively constant compared to other reactants/products in solution, so it does not significantly affect the equilibrium constant. Additionally, water is a solvent that is usually present in large excess, so changes in its concentration have minimal impact on the equilibrium position.
