Question

What is a saturated solution ?

Answer 1

The term saturated solution is used in chemistry to define a solution in which no more solvent can be dissolved. It is understood that saturation of the solution has been achieved when any additional substance that is added results in a solid precipitate or is let off as a gas.

Answer 2

A saturated solution is that solution in which the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved at a particular temperature.

And in case the solution has less than the maximum amount that can we dissolve the solution is called an unsaturated solution.
