C. Solvent
(If possible please answer this in a tabular form)
Dear student,
| Saturated solution | Unsaturated solution |
| A saturated solution is a solution that has dissolved as much solute as it is capable of dissolving. In a saturated solution, no more solute can be dissolved at a given temperature. | Unsaturated solution the amount of solute contained is less than the saturation level. Hence an unsaturated solution can dissolve more solute at a given temperature. |
| For example, if in a solution of salt in water no more salt can be dissolved at a particular temperature, then the solution is said to be saturated. The salt thus remains undissolved and collects at the bottom of the solution. | For example, if in a solution of salt in water, more salt can be dissolved at the same temperature, then the solution is said to be unsaturated solution. |
A solution has two components: a solute and a solvent. Solute is that component that can be dissolved, and it is present in small quantities, whereas solvent is the component in which the solute is dissolved, and it is present in large quantities. For example, in salt solution, a small amount of salt is dissolved in water, thus, water is the solvent and salt is the solute.
