Question 88072 • AA-F26 Physical Science

What is a saturated solution?

Answer
A
A solution with as much dissolved solute as it can hold at a given temperature.
B
A heated solution with more dissolved solute than it can hold at a lower temperature.
C
A solution that holds less dissolved solute than is possible at a given temperature.
D
A solution that holds as much solvent as possible at all temperatures.

Explanation

A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in the solvent at a particular temperature. Therefore, choice A, “a solution with as much dissolved solute as it can hold at a given temperature,” is correct. A solution that holds less solute than this is unsaturated.
