Solutions that contain more than the maximum amount of solute than should dissolve are called? unsaturated, saturated, dilute, supersaturated, no correct answer
Solutions that contain more than the maximum amount of solute than should dissolve are called supersaturated solution. In supersaturated solution, solute particles settles at the bottom of the container. Saturated solution are those solution which contain the maximum amount solute which it can dissolve. These solutions are clear transparent and are single phase. On the otherhand, supersaturated solution are not clear and have two phase i.e. liquid as solution and solid as solute particles. Crystallization process is also based on supersaturation. When the saturated solution is heated, solvent evaporates which decreases the amount of solute which it can dissolve. Then the excess solute which solution contains crystallizes slowly.
