Distinguish between a saturated solution and an unsaturated solution.
The difference between the saturated solution and an unsaturated solution.
Answer to Problem 11TE
The saturated solution is the one which has reached the limit of solute and cannot accept more solute while the unsaturated solution is the one which has not reached the limit of solute and can dissolve more solute.
Explanation of Solution
The ability due to which the solute dissolves in a solvent is known as solubility. The solvent can dissolve a certain amount of solute. That amount is termed as the limit of solute.
The saturated solution has the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in that solvent. It has reached the limit of solute for dissolution. It will not dissolve any more solute added to it.
The unsaturated solution is the one that has not reached the limit of solute for dissolution. It can dissolve more solute if added.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the saturated solution is the one which has reached the limit of solute and cannot accept more solute while the unsaturated solution is the one which has not reached the limit of solute and can dissolve more solute.
