B)an unsaturated solution with some undissolved solid
C)a saturated solution with no undissolved solid
D)an unsaturated solution with no undissolved solid
E)a supersaturated solution

Since the solubility of the substance is 18.2 g/100 g water, it means that only 18.2 grams of the substance can dissolve in 100 grams of water at a given temperature. Therefore, when 10.0 grams of the substance is mixed with 50.0 grams of water, only a portion of the substance will dissolve, resulting in a saturated solution with some undissolved solid.
