The concentration of a solute in a solution is greater than the maximum concentration that is predicted from the solute's solubility. What is the best way to describe this solution?

A supersaturated solution contains more dissolved solute than its solubility limit predicts under the given conditions. Therefore, the best description is “supersaturated.” A saturated solution is at the solubility limit, while an unsaturated solution contains less solute than that limit.
