In which solution is the amount of solute near the dissolving limit?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Saturated solution
A saturated solution contains the maximum equilibrium amount of solute that can dissolve at a specified temperature and pressure. Its dissolved amount is therefore at, or effectively near, the solubility limit. A dilute solution is far below that limit, pure solvent has no solute, and an insoluble mixture is not the definition of saturation.
