What is a solution called when the concentration of the solute equals its solubility in the solvent?(a) Dilute(b) Saturated(c) Unsaturated(d) SupersaturatedThe question was posed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.This interesting question is from Expressing Concentration of Solutions topic in section Solutions of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The CORRECT answer is (B) Saturated

Explanation: Saturated solutions are those which contain maximum amount of solute that is SOLUBLE and cannot be further dissolved. Dilute solutions have a very low concentration of the SALT. Unsaturated solutions have concentration of solute lesser than its solubility. SUPERSATURATED solutions contain more amount of solute than how much is soluble in the solvent. In other words, adding more solute to a saturated solution results in a supersaturated solution.
