Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The saturated, unsaturated and supersaturated solutions are to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The saturated solution is the solution that contains the maximum amount of solute dissolved in the solvent. Any additional amount of solute will not get dissolved in it. Soda is an example of a saturated solution.
The unsaturated solution is the one that contains less amount of solute than the maximum amount which can be dissolved in the solvent. Any additional amount of solute will easily get dissolved in it. Iced coffee is an example of an unsaturated solution.
The supersaturated solution is the one that contains more amount of solute that can be actually dissolved in the solvent.
