Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A solution holding the maximum amount of solute in a given volume at a constant temperature is said to be saturated. A solution can be hypertonic (having a higher concentration of solutes than another solution), hypotonic (having a lower concentration of solutes than another solution), or supersaturated (holding more solute than it can normally hold at a given temperature and pressure). However, only a saturated solution holds the maximum amount of solute at a constant temperature.
