10
Q
Dilute vs. Concentrated?
A
Dilute = Small amount of solute in solvent Concentrated = Big amount of solute in solvent
11
Q
Unsaturated vs. Saturated?
A
Unsaturated = When all the components still blend in 1 phase Saturated = When we can clearly see 2 different phases
12
Q
What is supersaturated?
A
When the solution is no longer stable and crystals form from cooling down the solution
13
