Question: Some solutions cannot dissolve any more solute, which word is used to describe a solution of this type?

A solution that cannot dissolve any more solute is referred to as a saturated solution. This occurs when the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved in the solvent at a given temperature and pressure, and any additional solute will remain undissolved. In a saturated solution, the rate of dissolution of the solute is equal to the rate of precipitation, meaning that the dissolved solute is in dynamic equilibrium with any undissolved solute. The concentration of the dissolved solute in a saturated solution defines its solubility at that particular temperature and pressure.
