Question 7 • AA-F26 Physical Science

Which refers specifically to a heated solution that holds more dissolved solution than it can hold at a lower temperature?

Answer
A
supersaturated
B
undersaturated
C
heterogeneous
D
homogeneous

Explanation

A supersaturated solution contains more dissolved solute than it can normally hold at a lower temperature. Heating can allow extra solute to dissolve, so the heated solution may become supersaturated when compared with what the solvent can hold at the lower temperature.
