When solutes are dissolved in a solvent, they form solutions. The solutions formed depend very much on the amount of solutes being dissolved forming one of the three major solutions. These solutions are unsaturated solution, saturated solution and supersaturated solution. Differentiate between the unsaturated and supersaturated solutions.
When a solid solute dissolved in a liquid solvent is saturated, it is in thermodynamic equilibrium. ... Solutions that are in the nonequilibrium state are said to be supersaturated.
