The answer is B.) For most substances, the solids state is more dense than the liquid state.

A. false because unsaturated solutions will dissolve more solute.
B. true.
C. false because according to the last question, density is dependent on temp.
D. false because likes dissolve likes: polar dissolves in polar, nonpolar dissolves in non polar.i hope this helps.=^b

In an unsaturated solution, the amount of solute is less than required in the solution. So, it can dissolve more solute.

Solid state is more dense than the liquid state as the molecules are closely packed in a solid.

Density is temperature dependent as with increase in temperature volume increases. So, the density decreases.

Like dissolves like. A polar solute will dissolve in a polar solvent.

So, the correct statement among the given options is B.For most substances, the solid state is more dense than the liquid state.
