An unsaturated solution has the property of having a solute concentration lower than the the solubility at equilibrium at a given temperature hence it has the capacity to dissolve more solutes. Is is a solution containing a lower amount of solute than a saturated solution
The two processes that occur on dissolving a solute in a solvent are dissolution and crystallization and in an unsaturated solution the rate of dissolution is greater than the rate of crystallization
1. Only particles in the solid state are not in motion 2. The particles of a solid have less energy than gas 3. In a glass of iced tea the sugar in iced tea are the solvent and the water is the solute.
