Exploring Types of Solutions: Unsaturated, Saturated, and Supersaturated

The video tutorial explains the concept of solutions, focusing on solute and solvent. It describes solubility as the ability of a solute to dissolve in a solvent and introduces three types of solutions: unsaturated, saturated, and supersaturated. Each type is characterized by the amount of solute dissolved and its appearance. The video also highlights the conditions under which each type of solution forms and their visual differences.

What is the term for a substance that dissolves in a solution?

• Suspension

• Solute

• Solution

• Solvent

Which component is usually present in a greater amount in a solution?

• Solute

• The ability of a solvent to dissolve a solute

• The color change when a solute dissolves in a solvent

What determines the solubility of a solute in a solvent?

• Amount of solute only

What type of solution contains less solute than it has the capacity to dissolve?

• Diluted

• Unsaturated

• Supersaturated

• Saturated

Which solution has solute in excess, unable to dissolve further at a given temperature?

• Concentrated

• Unsaturated

• Saturated

• Supersaturated

Which solution can dissolve more solute at a given temperature?
