If a solution contains the maximum solute at its temperature, what is it called?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Saturated solution
A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of a solute that can remain dissolved in a specified amount of solvent at a specified temperature and pressure. If more solute is added under the same conditions, it generally remains undissolved. An unsaturated solution can still dissolve more solute, whereas pure solvent contains no dissolved solute.
