A saturated solution
A saturated solution is a solution that holds the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent at a specific temperature and pressure.
A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute for a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature and pressure. This is when no more solute can dissolve in the solvent and the solution is in equilibrium with any undissolved solute.
A solution that has the maximum amount of solute dissolved at that temperature is known as a saturated solution.However it is possible to prepare a super saturated solution by heating the solution slightly, dissolving the maximum amount of solute and then carefully cooling the solution. Generally the super saturated solution is unstable and the excess solute will precipitate out if given the energy to do so.A common super saturated solution is a sugar solution. Sugar is added to water and the solution is heated and then carefully cooled. The solution can form a glass like solid called "toffee" rather than crystals of sugar.
A saturated solution is a solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent at a given temperature. At this point, any additional solute added will not dissolve and will settle at the bottom of the container.
A saturated solution
When the maximum amount of solid (solute) is dissolved in a solvent, the resulting solution is said to be saturated.
A saturated solution
The maximum concentration of a solution is when the maximum amount of solute is dissolved in a solvent at a given temperature. This concentration is often referred to as the saturation point of the solution, beyond which no more solute can be dissolved.
A saturated solution is a solution that holds the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent at a specific temperature and pressure.
A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute for a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature and pressure. This is when no more solute can dissolve in the solvent and the solution is in equilibrium with any undissolved solute.
An unsaturated solution is one that has less than the maximum amount of solute dissolved into the solvent at standard temperature and pressure (STP). A saturated solution has the maximum amount of solute dissolved at STP. A supersaturated solution has more than the maximum amount of solute dissolved (made possible typically by heating the mixture beyond STP, to allow for more solute to be dissolved). When the solution is recooled, a seed crystal can be used to grow larger crystals (such as in the case of rock candy).
A solution that contains the maximum amount of solute at a given temperature is called a saturated solution. This means that the solution is holding as much solute as it can at that specific temperature, with no additional solute able to dissolve.
In a saturated solution, the solvent has dissolved the maximum amount of solute it can hold at a given temperature. In an unsaturated solution, the solvent has not dissolved the maximum amount of solute it can hold at that temperature, meaning more solute could still be dissolved.
A solution that contains the maximum amount of solute is NOT an unsaturated solution.It is called to be saturated instead.
