An unsaturated solution is one that ________.
A)has no double bonds
B)contains the maximum concentration of solute possible, and is in equilibrium with undissolved solute
C)has a concentration lower than the solubility limit
D)contains more dissolved solute than the solubility allows
E)contains no solute

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An unsaturated solution has a concentration lower than the solubility limit, meaning that it can still dissolve more solute. Option A is incorrect because the presence of double bonds has no relation to the solubility of a solute. Option B describes a saturated solution, not unsaturated. Option D describes a supersaturated solution, which is not an unsaturated solution. Option E describes a solvent without any dissolved solute, also not an unsaturated solution.
