Answer:
a supersaturated solution.
Explanation:
Dissolution can be defined as the process of dissolving or dissociating a solute in solid, liquid or gaseous phase into fragmented particles by a solvent in order to form a solution.
In Chemistry, a solute can be defined as a substance that is typically dissolved in a liquid solvent such as water, coffee, tea, etc., to produce a solution.
For dissolution to occur in solids, the crystalline structure of the substance must be broken up so as to release ions, atoms or molecules to produce a solution.
For liquid and gases, the substance to be dissolved must form a non-covalent bond with the solvent to produce a solution.
During the process of dissolution, a solute maybe completely ionized, partially ionized, or it may remain intact.
Generally, when a solution contains more solute than the equilibrium amount it's called a supersaturated solution.
However, when a solution contains lesser solute than the equilibrium amount it's called an unsaturated solution.
Also, when a solution is in dynamic equilibrium with the dissolved solute, it's called a saturated solution.
