Question

what is the name of a solution whose concentration of solute is equal to the maximum concentration that is predicted from the solutes solubility?
○ dilute
○ saturated
○ unsaturated
○ supersaturated

Explanation:

• A dilute solution has a low solute concentration.
• A saturated solution is defined as a solution where the solute concentration equals the maximum concentration (solubility limit) at a given temperature and pressure, meaning no more solute can dissolve under those conditions.
• An unsaturated solution has a solute concentration less than the solubility limit (more solute can dissolve).
• A supersaturated solution has a solute concentration greater than the solubility limit (formed under special conditions and is unstable, as excess solute can crystallize out). So the solution with solute concentration equal to the maximum predicted by solubility is saturated.

Answer:

B. saturated
