ASaturated
BOversaturated
CUnsaturated
DConcentrated
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Saturated
1. Equilibrium between solid and solution defines one state.
2. A saturated solution of silver chloride illustrates the idea.
3. It is one in which the dissolution equilibrium has been established.
4. Molar solubility is then measured per litre of that saturated solution.
