unsaturated.

thatonegirl_ · Answer

Concentration is just the measure of solute in a solvent. Unsaturated means you can still add more solute and have it dissolve. Dilute means you add more solvent which you aren't doing, and saturated is having the absolute most solute you can have in a solution. The rest just stays solid when you add it.

In this case dilute is a noun.  It is a dilute solution of solute in solvent.
