➡Saturated solutions -In these solutions the addition of solute does not alter the equilobrium of the overall solution.i.e. we cannot add solute as it is not soluble further.
➡unsaturated solution-solute can be easily added to solution as it can further be mixed with solvent praticles.
Test whether a given solution is saturated or not...
➡By adding cold dilute Baeyer's reagnant
More about Baeyer's Reagnant.
↪Baeyer's reagnant is cold dilute
↪It is an oxidising agent.
If this mixture is added to an unsaturated compounds such as alkenes or alkanes then :
Purple colour of the reagnant changes .
It is first converted to a green compound which is unstable in alkaline medium.
This again changes to brown
The supernatant liquid gets decolourised.
However saturated compounds do not respond to the above test.
In simple words........... your answer is :
➡In order to test unsaturation first add cold dilute Baeyer's reagnant.
➡If the reagnant decolorises from purple to colourless then the compound is unsaturated
➡Otherwise if the reaction does not occur , then it is a saturated compound.
➡unsaturated solution-solute can be easily added to solution as it can further be mixed with solvent praticles.
