Lesson
SATURATED and
1 UNSATURATED SOLUTION
In Module 2, you found out that a solution is formed when a solute dissolves
in a solvent to form a single phase that appears uniform throughout. A solution is
clear and the particles are too small that they cannot be seen by the unaided eye.
The particles in solution are smaller than the pores of the filter paper or the
cheesecloth and so these can pass through the filter.
In Module 3, you will find out how much solute can dissolve in a given
amount of solvent and find out the type of solution based on whether there is
excess solute or not.
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. describe saturated and unsaturated solution;
2. determine how much solid solute dissolves in each volume of water; and
3. describe the appearance of a saturated solution.
What’s In

Materials Needed
• 6 teaspoons sugar
• 1 cup of water
• 1 measuring cup (1cup capacity) CAUTION: Use carefully the following
• 1 measuring spoon (½ tsp laboratory instruments/kitchen
capacity) materials to avoid damage and accident
• 2 small clear, transparent bottle during the conduct of activity.

Procedure:
1. Put 20 mL (approximately 2 tablespoons) of water in a small clear
transparent bottle. Add ½ teaspoon of sugar and stir.
Q1. What is the appearance of the solutions? Write your observations.
2. To the sugar solution in step #1, add ½ teaspoon sugar, a small portion at a
time and stir the solution to dissolve the sugar. At this point, you have
added 1 teaspoon sugar.
3. Add ½ teaspoon of sugar to the sugar solution in step #2 and stir the
solution. At this point, you have added one and ½ teaspoons of sugar.
4. Continue adding ½ teaspoon sugar to the same cup until the added sugar
no longer dissolves.
Q2. How many teaspoons of sugar have you added until the sugar no
longer dissolves? _________ Teaspoons
Note: In this step, you will observe that there is already excess sugar
which did not dissolve.
Q3. So, how many teaspoons of sugar dissolved completely in 20 mL
of water? ____________ Teaspoons
Note: This is now the maximum amount of sugar that will completely
dissolve in 20 mL of water.
What is It
The substances that make up a homogeneous solution are called
components of the solution. These components are called solvent and a solute.
What is solvent? What is solute?
Solvent it is a component of a solution which dissolves the other component
in itself. It institutes the larger component of the solution. For example, water is a
solvent that dissolves solid substance like sugar.
Solute it is the component of the solution which dissolves in the solvent. It
has the lesser component of the solution. For example, sugar is a solute that
dissolves in water.

Guide Question:
1. What is the difference between the Unsaturated and saturated solutions?
2. How do you know a solution is saturated?
3. What happens when a solution becomes saturated?
4. How many grams or teaspoons of sugar dissolved in 20 ml of water to form
Complete the statements below to express what you had learned from the lesson.
1. A maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent
at a certain temperature is called the _________of the solute.
2. The solution that contains the maximum amount of solute dissolved by a
given amount of solvent is called a __________.
3. The presence of an excess solid which can no longer dissolve is evidence that
the solution is _____________.
4. A solution ___________________when it contains less solute than the
maximum amount it can dissolve at a given temperature.

Look! What is in the picture below?
What will happen to the solutions if you will add more amounts of solutes
like sugar in a cup of hot coffee or cocoa powder in your hot cocoa
drink?______________________________________________

4. Slowly add 100 grams of sugar to 100 mL water and stir it.
Q1. Observe and describe what happens to the solution.
5. Next, add another 100 grams of sugar to the sugar solution in step # 4.
Q2. Do the particles of sugar still dissolved in water?

6. Heat your solution of at least 80 0C and continue adding 100 grams to the
same sugar into your solution.
Q3. This time, what had you observed from the solution?
Q4. Be specific about the particles, did they still dissolve in water?
Did the water change in color?
7. Stop boiling your solution. Add another 60 grams of sugar. Stir and observe
what will happen?
Q5. Describe your solution.
Q6. What do you call the solution that contains more dissolved solute
than a saturated solution does?
8. Let your substance cool down its temperature up to 25 0C
Q7. What have you observed?
Q8. Are crystals formed in your solution after cooling it?
What is It
When you add more amount of solute in a solution and then you will observe
some particles are left at the bottom of the solution, at this point the solution is
saturated. It is a solution in which the amount of solute is equal to the solute’s
solubility at a given volume and temperature.
