4 multiple choice 1 point
a solution that has the maximum amount of solute dissolved in the solvent is called ________
saturated
supersaturated
suspension
unsaturated

Explanation:

• A saturated solution is defined as a solution where no more solute can be dissolved in the solvent at a given temperature and pressure, meaning it holds the maximum amount of dissolved solute.
• A supersaturated solution holds more solute than the normal maximum (it's an unstable state).
• A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture where solute particles are not dissolved but suspended.
• An unsaturated solution can still dissolve more solute.

Answer:

A. saturated
