### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Unsaturated Solution**: - An unsaturated solution is one that can still dissolve more solute. This means that the solvent has not yet reached its maximum capacity to dissolve the solute. - **Observation**: When a small crystal of solute is added to an unsaturated solution, it will dissolve completely. - **Justification**: The solvent has the capacity to dissolve more solute, so the added crystal will dissolve until the saturation point is reached. 2. **Understanding Saturated Solution**: ...

Saturated And Unsaturated Solution

There are some of the characteristics of the supersaturated solution (P) Equilibrium exists between solution and solid solute. (Q) If a crystal of solute is added to supersaturated solution, crystallisation occurs rapidly ®Supersaturated solutions contain more solute than they should have at a particular temperature. Correct characteristics of supersaturated solutions are:

How can a saturated solution by made unsaturated ?
