Answer: Saturated solutions contain the maximum dissolvable amount of solute while unsaturated solutions contains less than that amount. Finally, a supersaturated solution can be formed by adding additional
solute to a saturated solution and then heating the solution. The solution can then be cooled and left undisturbed. If the solution is disturbed in some way such as a scratch on the glass or the addition of a “seed crystal”, the extra solute will come out of the solution as crystals.
