A)hydrated B)solvated C)saturated D)unsaturated E)supersaturated

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A solution that is 0.401 M in MnSO₄ monohydrate has not reached the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in the solvent (water) at that temperature (20 °C). Therefore, it is an unsaturated solution. The fact that it is a monohydrate means that it contains one molecule of water per formula unit of MnSO₄, but this does not affect the classification of the solution as unsaturated.
