What do you understand by the following terms?
(c) Supersaturated solution

✓

Answer

Any solution containing more solute than required to prepare a saturated solution at any fixed temperature is called supersaturated solution. Supersaturated solution is a meta-stable state i.e. it will remain in supersaturated state so long it is left undisturbed. A slight disturbance (e.g. slight rise or fall of temperature) will turn it into a saturated solution.
