An unsaturated solution, in chemistry, refers to a solution where the solvent has not dissolved the maximum amount of solute possible at a given temperature and pressure. In these solutions, additional solute can still be dissolved.
This contrasts with saturated solutions, where no more solute can be accommodated.The concentration of solute in an unsaturated solution is less than its saturation point, allowing for further dissolution.
Unsaturation is a dynamic state, and conditions such as temperature changes or additional solute introduction can affect the solubility equilibrium in the solution.
