Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. A student labels two 250 milliliter beakers with the letters A and B. She pu
ts 100 milliliters of water in each of them. She adds some salt to beaker A and stirs until the salt dissolves completely. Then she adds another 50 milliliters of water to beaker A. She adds more salt to beaker B, and the salt in beaker B doesn't completely dissolve in the water even after much stirring. The solution in beaker A is . The solution in beaker B is .
A saturated solution is a solution that contains just as much solute as it can normally hold at a particular temperature. An unsaturated solution is a solution that contains less solute than it can normally hold at a particular temperature.
If more solute is added to a saturated solution, the added solute does not dissolve completely. However, if more solute is added to an unsaturated solution, the added solute dissolves.
