Kyllästysliuokseksi

Kyllästysliuokseksi refers to a saturated solution in Finnish. A saturated solution is a chemical solution in which no more solute can be dissolved into the solvent. At saturation, the dissolved solute is in dynamic equilibrium with the undissolved solute. If more solute is added to a saturated solution, it will not dissolve and will remain as a solid.

The concentration of a saturated solution depends on factors such as temperature and pressure. For most solid solutes in liquid solvents, solubility increases with increasing temperature. This means that a larger amount of solute can be dissolved in a given amount of solvent at a higher temperature. For gaseous solutes in liquid solvents, solubility generally decreases with increasing temperature.

To prepare a saturated solution, one typically adds excess solute to a solvent and stirs. Once no more solute dissolves, the solution is considered saturated. The remaining undissolved solute can then be removed by filtration or decantation, leaving the saturated solution behind. Understanding saturated solutions is fundamental in chemistry for processes like crystallization, precipitation, and determining solubility limits.
