The document discusses saturated and unsaturated solutions. It defines a solution as a uniform mixture of a solute and solvent. A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent, while an unsaturated solution contains less than the maximum amount of solute, meaning more can still dissolve. It explains that the solubility of a substance determines whether it will dissolve in a solvent to form a solution.

2. PROPERTIES OF SATURATED
AND UNSATURATED SOLUTION

3. SOLUTION
Solution is a mixture that has a uniform composition. In
order to produce this, two substances are being used:
the solute and solvent.

4. COMPONENTS OF SOLUTION
SOLUTION
SOLVENT SOLUTE

5. Solute is a component
of a solution that is
being dissolved, present
in a smaller amount
SOLUTE
Solvent is a component
of a solution that
dissolves the solute and
it is present in greater
amount.
SOLVENT

6. The ability of a solute to be dissolved from a
solvent in a given solution is called Solubility.
That is why sugar and table salt will dissolve in
water because both substances possess a
property called solubility.
SOLUBILITY

7. - is a type of solution containing less amount of
solute in a given amount of solvent leaving no
traces of it. This simply means that the solvent can
still dissolve more solute and it forms a single
phase.
UNSATURATED
SOLUTION

8. SATURATED
SOLUTION
-a solution that contains the
maximum amount of solute that
can be dissolved in a given
amount of solvent.
- This state is when the solution
has reached a point in which no
more solute can be dissolved.
