A substance is soluble in water. It is added into the water and dissolves. More solute continues being added until it reaches a point where the newly added solute begins to sit on the bottom of the container without dissolving. What has happened? A. The solute has become a solvent. B. The solute was not actually soluble to begin with. C. The solute has become saturated. D. The solution has become saturated.

Respuesta :

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

also to add.... there exists a solubility equilibrium between solid solute and the solution.

The newly added solute begins to sit on the bottom of the container without dissolving this represents that the solution has become saturated, Therefore the correct answer is D.

What is a Saturated Solution?

It is a type of solution in which no more amount of solute can be dissolved any further, The saturated solution already contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved within it.

The solution reached a point where the newly added solute starts to sit on the bottom this means the solution has become saturated.
