When $20\ g$ of salt is dissolved in $100\ ml$ of water:
  • So if it is completely dissolved at that temperature, that is, it can hold more solute in solution. It is then unsaturated solution.
  • And if it is not dissolved, and cannot hold more solute into it, at that temperature. Then it is saturated solution. Saturated means the solution contains as much substance as can possibly dissolve in it.
  • While Supersaturated solution contains more of the dissolved salt than that could be under normal condition of temperature and pressure. Some residual solute appears in solid form in the solvent.
