Midge · Answer 1

If it's saturated, it means that you have reached the maximum of KNO3 that can be dissolved in tour solution. Hence, if you add more solid KNO3, if won't dissolved, and will just fall at the bottom; as a result, the concentration in dissolved KNO3 will remain the same.

The concentration would become more concentration, supersaturated. because you are adding more KNO3.
