A solution is made by adding 360 g of table salt into 1 L of water. The solubility of the salt is 36 g/100 mL water. Which term best describes this solution at room temperature?

To express the given concentration of the solution to the same unit as the solubility of the salt, use dimensional analysis.
(360 g/ 1 L ) x (1 L / 10 (100 mL)) = 36 g / 100 mL
This value is equal to the value of the solubility of the salt which means that the solution is SATURATED.
