Reading Saturated, Unsaturated, and Supersaturated Solution Diagrams

Describe a solute.

• part of solution present in largest amount
• gets dissolved
• water
• surrounds and breaks apart

How does a solution become supersaturated?

• dissolve lots of solute in it.
• dissolve a little solute in it. 
• dissolve more solute than you should be able to. 
• dissolve a super amount of solvent in it.
