Question

unsaturated solution, saturated solution, supersaturated solution (displayed in a panel); a saturated solution has reached its maximum ______ capacity. options (in colored buttons): pressure, solute, solvent, volume

Explanation:

In chemistry (a subfield of Natural Science), a saturated solution is defined as a solution in which no more solute can be dissolved in the solvent at a given temperature and pressure. So it has reached its maximum solute - holding capacity. Pressure is not the main factor here for the "capacity" of dissolving in the context of solution saturation. Solvent is the medium, and volume is not the relevant term for the maximum amount of substance that can be dissolved.

Answer:

B. Solute
