Question

Q6. What do you call the solution that contains more dissolved solute than a

saturated solution does?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The solution containing more dissolved solute than a saturated solution is called a supersaturated solution.

Explanation:

We need to know about the solution and different types of solutions to answer this question.

What is a solution?

A solution is a type of mixture(homogenous) made up of two or more substances. In a solution, the solute is a substance that is dissolved in the substance called the solvent. Solutions can be classified into many types based on their saturation or the physical states of the solvent and solute etc.

Different types of solutions based on saturation

1. Saturated Solution- A solution that contains the maximum amount of solute.
2. Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which the amount of dissolved solute is less than the saturation point of the solvent. In this case, more solute can be dissolved in the solution.
3. Supersaturated Solution-  A solution that contains more than the maximum amount of solute that is possible of being dissolved at a given temperature. It contains more solute than the saturated solution. The solutes start to crystallize.
