Question

A solution which contains more amount of solute than that is required to saturate it, is known as .......................

• A. Solution
• B. Saturated solution
• C. Super saturated solution
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Super saturated solution

The correct term to fill in the blank is "supersaturated solution."

So, the complete sentence would be:

"A solution which contains more amount of solute than that is required to saturate it, is known as a supersaturated solution."

In a supersaturated solution, the solution has been prepared by dissolving more solute than it can normally hold at a given temperature. This is typically done by heating the solvent, dissolving the solute, and then slowly cooling the solution. These solutions are unstable and can rapidly crystallize if disturbed.
