What happens to a saturated solution when more solute is added at constant temperature?
A.The extra solute settles undissolved
B.All the added solute dissolves
C.The solution boils
D.The solution becomes more dilute
Explanation
Core Concept
A saturated solution holds the maximum solute possible at that temperature. Any additional solid simply remains as solid — dissolving and precipitating continue at equal rates.
Correct Answer
