Answer:
Under suitable conditions it is sometimes possible to form solutions that contain a greater amount of solute than that needed to form a saturated solution. ... Because the solute in a supersaturated solution is present in a concentration higher than the equilibrium concentration, supersaturated solutions are unstable.

Answer:
Because the solubility of most solids increases with increasing temperature, a saturated solution that was prepared at a higher temperature usually contains more dissolved solute than it would contain at a lower temperature. ... Like a supercooled or superheated liquid, a supersaturated solution is unstable.
