Which of the following describes a saturated solution?
A
Contains excess undissolved solute
B
Contains only solvent
C
Contains no solute
D
Contains maximum solute at given temperature
Correct Answer: Option D — Contains maximum solute at given temperature
Explanation:
A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature. Adding more solute beyond this point results in undissolved excess settling at the bottom.
