A saturated solution .
A) contains as much solvent as it can hold
B) cannot be attained
C) contains dissolved solute in equilibrium with undissolved solid
D) will rapidly precipitate if a seed crystal is added
E) contains no double bonds

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A saturated solution is a solution in which the solvent has dissolved the maximum amount of solute that it can at a given temperature and pressure. This means that the concentration of the solute in the solution is in equilibrium with the undissolved solid. Adding more solute will not dissolve, and a seed crystal will not cause rapid precipitation because the solution is already in equilibrium. Choice A, B, D, and E are all incorrect.
