A supersaturated solution is one that contains more dissolved solute than it could normally dissolve at that temperature. If a crystal didn't dissolve and the solution remained unchanged, it wouldn't be supersaturated because the addition of the crystal would have caused the excess solute to precipitate out, returning the solution to a saturated state.
A concentrated solution refers to one that has a relatively large amount of solute dissolved in a solvent. However, the addition of a crystal not dissolving doesn't directly indicate concentration. Concentrated solutions can still dissolve additional solute.
An unsaturated solution is one that can dissolve more solute at the given temperature. If a crystal didn't dissolve in the solution, it suggests that it wasn't unsaturated because there was still room for more solute to dissolve.
A saturated solution is one that has dissolved as much solute as possible at a given temperature. If a crystal didn't dissolve and the solution remained unchanged, it implies that the solution was already saturated, as it couldn't dissolve any more solute.
The answer is D... cos there is no more solvent to disolve the extra solute that was added.....
The answer is D, there is no two ways about it and if you are still doubting just consult your textbook or you make google your friend.
pls the answer is (A)............................................Read your book kooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..................#PINO PONTIM
d answer should b A,,,it is supersaturated dat it has already taken more dan it can dissolve
