Answer:
A saturated solution is a chemical solution containing the maximum concentration of a solute dissolved in the solvent.
Step-by-step explanation:
- A solution is made by dissolving a solute in a solvent.
- For example dissolving a salt in a solvent such as water results to a solution.
- Solution may either be saturated or unsaturated.
- Unsaturated solution is a solution that can dissolve more solute upon addition because it has not reached saturation.
- A saturated solution on the other hand is a solution that has maximum solute and the concentration of solute is maximum and thus the solvent can not dissolve any more solute.
- Therefore, a saturated solutions contain maximum concentration of a solute dissolved in the solute.
