#supersaturated solution

-- solubility is the amount of the compound that dissolves in a certain amount of liquid

-- the amount of the compound is usually measured in grams

-- a saturated solution holds the maximum amount of solute under the solution conditions

-- in a saturated solution, any additional solute added to the solution will not dissolve

-- an unsaturated solution holds less than the maximum amount of solute

-- additional solute added to an unsaturated solution will dissolve

-- a supersaturated solution holds more than the normal amount of solute
