Not necessarily. Although saturation means that the solution cannot get concentrated anymore, it does not mean that the concentration is high, as there might be solutions that a saturated at low concentrations.

Concentration is measured in moles per litre.

Saturation (a variant of solubility) is measured in grams of solute per hundred grams of solution.

NB It is temperature dependant.

It is possible to saturate a solution by dissolving as much solute as possible in 100 grams of water (or whatever solvent you want to use), discarding the undissolved solute at that temperature...and measuring the concentration using titrimetric methods.

Concentration and solubility are distinct and different parameters of solutions...

What solution is more concentrated in saturated solution?

A super saturated solution.


What is saturated dilute and concentrated?

a saturated solution is a solution that cannot dissolve any more substances a concentrated solution is a solution that has a lot of a specific substance in it


What is a solution when there is a large dissolved substance in a small amount of water?

This is called a concentrated solution, not especially a saturated solution.('saturated' means: maximal possibleconcentration, this is not always a large amount!)


What is the difference between concentrated solution and dilute solution?

dilute is a solution far from being saturated concentrated is a solution that has so much solute that it is relatively close to being saturated


Is a concentrated solution always a saturated solution?

No, a concentrated solution need not be saturated always.Concentrated simply implies the presence of a particular solute in a solution in high percentile.Saturation implies that the addition of even a very small amount of a solute will result in a change of phase.Concentrated solution is a solution that contains a large amount of solute relative to the amount that could dissolve.

Is dead sea saturated dilute or concentrated solution?

The Dead Sea is a saturated solution because it has an excessive amount of salt at its bottom.


What does it mean to say a solution is concentrated?

If a solution is concentrated a lot of solute is dissolved in the solvent. More solute can still be dissolved, though. If no more solute could be dissolved, you have a saturated solution.


A solution suddenly forms a precipitate when agitated It is supersaturated saturated unsaturated or concentrated?

Supersaturated


What is a solution that contains a small amount of salt and a large amount of water is said to be a?

Saturated.This means the water will no longer have salt dissolve in it.Added:Better to call this a concentrated solution, not especially a saturated solution.('saturated' means: maximal possibleconcentration, this is not always a large amount!)Especially for Penn. students: cf. discussion page
