 LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET
Investigating Unsaturated and Saturated Solutions

Background Information

In Grade 6, you have learned about the different mixtures and their characteristics. As
you go through with the previous modules, you also performed the different activities where you
mixed different substances.

A solution has two components: the solute and the solvent. A component present in small
amounts is called solute and the component present in greater amount is called solvent. The
solute is the substance that is being dissolved, while the solvent is the dissolving medium.
Solute and solvents may be solid, liquids, or gases. For example, in a sugar solution, the sugar
is the solute which is in small amount and water is the solvent that is in greater amount.

The solution that contains the maximum amount of solute dissolved by a given amount of
solvent is called saturated solution. If a solution contains more than the maximum amount of
solute that can be dissolved at higher temperature, then it becomes supersaturated. A solution
become unsaturated when it contains less solute that the maximum amount it can dissolve at a
given temperature.

The concentration of solution is the proportion of the solute to the solvent. If there is a lot
of solute in a solution then it is concentrated. If there is a low amount of solute, then the
solution is said to be diluted.

In this learning activity sheet, you will identify some important properties of solutions
using the different methods. You will be able to investigate the unsaturated and saturated
solutions.

Answer Key:

Activity 1

Solution Solute Solvent

Mud water Mud Water
Salt water Salt Water
Soft drinks Carbon dioxide Water
Juice Juice powder Water
Coffee Coffee granules Water

Activity 2

1. Which beakers represent SATURATED SOLUTIONS? B, C

2. Which beakers represent UNSATURATED SOLUTIONS? A, D

Activity 3
1. A. A solution is saturated when no more solute dissolves.
2. B. An unsaturated solution contains less than the maximum amount of solute that is
capable of being dissolved.
3. By heating the solution a saturated solution can be changed into a supersaturated
solution. The simplest way also is to add more solvent.
