Question

I got this question wrong it was true/false
the answer was false

A supersaturated solution will have some solid undissolved in the bottom of the container.

I don't know why its false?

Answer 1

What you have is a saturated solution since there is solid undissolved. A supersaturated solution will be completely dissolved and will in fact, have more dissolved than it normally can hold. If a single crystal of the solid is put into the solution,or if the sides of the vessel are scratched, some of the dissolved solid will crystallize until a saturated solution is obtained.
