Question
what will happen if you add more solute to a saturated solution? it will remain undissolved in the container. it will dissolve. it will increase the concentration. it will become solvent.
A saturated solution has reached the maximum amount of solute it can dissolve at a given temperature and pressure. Adding more solute to it will not dissolve because the solution has already reached its solubility limit. The concentration of a saturated solution is already at its maximum for that condition, so adding more solute won't increase the concentration. A solute is a substance being dissolved, and it won't turn into a solvent (the dissolving medium) just by adding more of it to a saturated solution.
