Question

A solution in which more solute cannot dissolve at a given temperature is known as
A) supersaturated solution
B) Heterogeneous saturated solution
C) Saturated solution
D) Unsaturated solution

Answer 1

Hint: We also need to know that the solute and the solvent affect the properties of the solution. Depend on the state of solute and solvent, solution will classified as two types. There are homogeneous solution and heterogeneous solution. In homogeneous solution only one phase and heterogeneous solution more than one phase in solution. Depending on the solubility of solute in solvent, solution will be classified as three types. There are supersaturated solutions, saturated solutions and unsaturated solutions.

Complete answer:
We also need to know that a saturated solution is nothing but the correct amount of solute will dissolve in the correct amount of solvent, the solution attains the saturated position. Otherwise, we can say a solution in which more solute cannot dissolve at a given temperature is known as saturated solution.
Unsaturated solution is nothing but a lesser amount of solute will dissolve in the correct amount of solvent, the solution attains an unsaturated position.
Supersaturated solution is nothing but more solute will dissolve in the correct amount of solvent, the solution attains the super saturated position at high temperature.
According to the above, we conclude a solution in which more solute cannot dissolve at a given temperature is known as saturated solution.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Note:
We must have to know that the nature of the solute and the solvent affect the properties of the solution. These affecting properties of the solution by addition of solute in the solution is known as colligative property. There are four major colligative properties for an ideal solution. There are relative lowering vapour pressure of the solution after addition of solute, the elevation of boiling point of the solution after addition of the solute, the depression of freezing point of the solution after addition of solute and the osmotic pressure of the solution. The above mentioned properties are caused due to the addition of solute in solution.
