Why some solutions are called dilute , concentrated or saturated?
A diluted solution is when you have a solution that consists more of the solute that what is being diluted. Concentrated solution – Is where a solution has more of the dilute than the solute. A saturated solution is when you are dissolving something in a solute, and you can no longer dissolve anymore. And just FYI – A supersaturated solution is when you have more dilute in a solution than it can carry, An example is if you heat up water and then you add sugar or salt, then let it cool again. It will no longer be able to carry the same amount of salt/sugar. If you put a string or stick in there then it would form crystals of salt or sugar because the water is trying to get rid of the excess dilute.
