What is considered supersaturated?
A supersaturated solution is one which contains more dissolved solute than is needed to form a saturated solution at the same temperature; From: Newnes Engineering and Physical Science Pocket Book, 1993.
How do you make a supersaturated solution?
Supersaturated solutions are generally prepared by dissolving your compound in heated water. If you add sugar, for example, to water at 25 degrees Celsius, about 210 grams of sugar will dissolve per 100 mL of water.
What is considered a supersaturated solution?
A supersaturated solution is a solution that contains more than the maximum amount of solute that is capable of being dissolved at a given temperature. The recrystallization of the excess dissolved solute in a supersaturated solution can be initiated by the addition of a tiny crystal of solute, called a seed crystal.
What process must occur to create a supersaturated solution?
Supersaturated solutions are generally prepared by dissolving your compound in heated water. If you add sugar, for example, to water at 25 degrees Celsius , about 210 grams of sugar will dissolve per 100 mL of water.

What are few examples of an unsaturated solution?
Adding a spoonful of sugar to a cup of hot coffee produces an unsaturated sugar solution.
Is Honey really a supersaturated solution?
Honey is technically a supersaturated solution, meaning it contains more sugar than would normally dissolve at that temperature. That’s why it eventually gets all crystally in the pantry – over time, sugar comes out of the solution.
