| Solubility curve |
Solubility is the maximum quantity of a substance that will dissolve in a certain quantity of water at a specified temperature. A saturated solution is a solution that has crystals that form at the bottom that will not be dissolved no matter how vigorously stirred. An unsaturated solution is a solution that contains less dissolved solute than the amount that the solvent can normally hold at that temperature. A supersaturated solution is a solution that is unstable and contains more solute than my usually be dissolved at a cooler temperature. The solution is cooled without causing any crystals to form.
