    1. Differentiate between the terms unsaturated and dilute.
    Answer

    Unsaturated means that less than the maximum amount of solute is present in solution. Dilute means a small amount of solute is present. A solution can be unsaturated and still have a large amount of solute present.

     

    1. Differentiate between the terms saturated and concentrated.
    Answer

    Saturated means that the maximum amount of solute is present in solution. Concentrated means that a large amount of solute is present. A solute can be concentrated and still have less than the maximum amount of solute possible. There are also weakly soluble compounds which can be saturated and have only a small amount of solute present in solution.
