What may happen for many solids when a saturated solution is heated?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: More solute can dissolve
A saturated solution has reached its solubility limit at its present temperature. For many solids, heating raises that limit, so additional solute may dissolve and the former saturated solution becomes unsaturated relative to the new temperature. Thus A is correct; the other choices are not general consequences of heating.
