Solutions & Colligative Properties
mol/L
A concentrated solution prepared in advance and stored for later dilution to working strength.
Supersaturated Solution
Solutions & Colligative Properties
mol/L
An unstable solution containing more dissolved solute than the equilibrium solubility at that temperature.
