A solution that contains the maximum amount of the solute it can hold at a given temperature is

• diluted.

• saturated.

• supersaturated.

• unsaturated.

The amount of solute that can be dissolved in a specific amount of solvent at a given temperature is its

• concentration.

• density.

• dilution.

• solubility.
