What is a saturated solution?

One that contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature.

Does temperature affect solubility?

Yes. Most solid solubilities increase with temperature; gas solubilities decrease.

What is a supersaturated solution?

Contains more solute than the saturation point; it is unstable and may crystallize.

How to Calculate Saturation Concentration

Formula

Max solute = (solubility / 100) × mass of solvent

Scale solubility tables proportionally for any mass of solvent.

Example Calculation

NaCl solubility is 36 g/100g water at 25C. How much dissolves in 250 g water?

01Max = (36 / 100) × 250
02Max = 0.36 × 250
03Max = 90 g
