The concentration of a solute in a solution is greater than the maximum concentration that is predicted from the solute's solubility. What is the best way to describe this solution?

A solution is supersaturated when it contains more dissolved solute than its solubility limit predicts under the given conditions. An unsaturated solution can dissolve more solute, while a saturated solution is at the solubility limit. Therefore, the best description is “supersaturated.”
