Question

Increasing temperature increases solubility so that 480 grams (g) of sugar makes a saturated solution in 100 milliliters (mL) of boiling water. If you add 240 g of sugar to 50 mL of boiling water, which will the solution be?
resaturated
supersaturated
saturated

Answer 1

A resaturated solution would be a solution that started off at room temperature and was saturated. Then you were to increase the temperature, so the solution would no longer be saturated as it could take more sugar. so then you add more sugar and the solution is resaturated.

A saturated solution is simply one that has taken it's maximum capacity

A super saturated solution is one that you keep resaturating by increasing the temperature and adding more sugar and then you decrease the temperature slowly so that the solution retains all that sugar. A simple example would be caramel sauce.

Since you only saturated the solution in the question and didn't do anything else with it the second option would be the answer, i.e. saturated solution
