A saturated solution consists of a solvent and a solute, where the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved at a given temperature and pressure. In this state, any additional solute added will not dissolve and will remain undissolved in the solution. The solution is in equilibrium, meaning that the rate of solute dissolving equals the rate of solute crystallizing out of the solution. Common examples include saltwater, where salt is the solute and water is the solvent.
