What is the correct identification of an unsaturated solution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: More solute can still dissolve
An unsaturated solution contains less solute than its maximum solubility at the given temperature. Consequently, additional solute can dissolve without remaining as a separate solid, provided the solvent and conditions are unchanged. Therefore A is correct. An unsaturated solution can contain solute; it is not necessarily pure solvent or a mixture with settled solid.
