A solution with maximum possible amount of a solute under a given set of conditions is called a(n) _____.
A) supercritical fluid
B) saturated solution
C) crystalline solution
D) electrolyte
E) supercooled solution

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A saturated solution is one in which the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved under a given set of conditions, such as temperature and pressure. This is in contrast to unsaturated solutions, which have not reached their maximum solubility, and supersaturated solutions, which have more solute dissolved than would be predicted by their solubility under normal conditions. The other options listed do not specifically refer to the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solution.
