Question

If you can continue to add more solute to a solution, the solution is said to be ____________________

Answer 1

Answer:

If you can continue to add more solute to a solution, the solution is said to be concentrated with the solute, hence; saturation is the right term

Explanation:

When a solute is continually added to a solution, at a point a saturation point would be reached in such away that the solution would be highly concentrated with the solute

Answer 2

Answer:

Unsaturated

Explanation:

In order to successfully answer this question, we need to think about the solubility of solutes in specific solvents, typically water.

• A solution is considered to be unsaturated if at a given temperature and volume of water we may still add more solute and it will dissolve;
• A solution is considered to be saturated if at a given temperature and volume of water we have a maximum amount of solute dissolved and trying to add more solute results in undissolved crystals that can be seen in the solution;
• A solution is considered to be oversaturated (or supersaturated) i at a given temperature and volume of water we exceeded the maximum amount of a solute that could possibly dissolve.

In this case, if we can continue to add more solute to a solution and the solute dissolves, we may state that we are still at a point in which we have an unsaturated solution.
