what is meant by saturated solution science terms
Summary. A saturated solution is one where there are equal numbers of particles or solutes and solvent in the solution. The characteristics of a solvent are that it can be a liquid, a solid, or a gas; although the solvent is usually a liquid. The most common solvent is water-it is known as the universal solvent.s the temperature of the solvent increases, solubility increases. Additionally, pressure and the nature of the solute and solvent affect solubility. When a solution cannot have solute added and dissolved, the solution is saturated.
