If we add a very small quantity iof solute in a saturated solution at given conditions of temprature and pressure, will it dissolve or not ? It is provided that there is no amount of solid solute in the container in which the above process in being carried.
I mean to say that if there is no solid solute particle inside the solution then how will the solute particles in the solution will collide and crystallise. And therefore how the equilibrium will be eastablished between dissolution crystallisation as in a saturated solution.

However, answer to your query from which we have understood is,
When the solution is saturated, the solvent has dissolved the maximum amount of solute that it can at the given temperature. At this point we say that the solution is in a state of dynamic equilibrium—the processes of dissolving and precipitation are happening at the same rate.
A supersaturated solution is one in which the solvent contains more solute than it can theoretically hold at a given temperature. Supersaturated solutions are often formed by heating a solution and dissolving more solute, then cooling the solution down slowly. These solutions are unstable and crystallize readily.

- How like dissolves like?
- At what partial pressure oxygen will have a solubility of 0.06 gram per litre in water at 293 Kelvin Henry's law constant of oxygen in water at 303 kelvin is 46.82 k bar assume the density of the solution to the same as that of water
- how many ml of 0.1M HCL are required to react completely with 1g mixture of and NaHCO3 containing equimolar amounts of both?
- what is volatile and non volatile solute . also explain the importance of both and uses
- Assertion :- CaCl2, CaSO4, Ca(HSO4)2 & Ca(OH)2 will cause hardness in water. Reason :- All soluble salts of Ca+2 and Mg+2 cause hardness.
