Akira Camacho · Answer 1

By desolving more solutes in the solution to verify its affinity for more solutes

Explanation:

Saturated solution

A solution that does not dissolve more solute is a saturated solution.

Unsaturated solution

A solution that dissolves the solute when it is added is an unsaturated solution.

Supersaturated solution

A saturated solution at equilibrium that has extra undissolved solute at the bottom of the container must be and is then heated to a temperature where all the solutes are dissolved is a supersaturated.
