the saturation point or the solubility of salt X in water is 27 g per 100 mL of solvent used. if a person adds 29 g of this salt to a 100 Ml of solvent what type of solution would form?
shouldnt the answer be supersaturated? since saturation point is 27g? the practice test says the answer is sauturated...

Saturated is the correct answer. The problem states that 29 g is ADDED to 100 mL of solvent--not that 29 g DISSOLVED. If it dissolved, yes, it would be supersaturated.
oh, ok. thank you for clearing that up i was confused.
