Hello everyone. Today. We are being asked to determine if the following statement is true or false. When a saturated solution is heated and its temperature has increased, the solution becomes saturated, so the answer is actually false. This statement is false. So supersaturated solutions, right. Supersaturated solutions indicates that there is some form of heating being applied to a solution. However, this heating is indicative of that you were dissolving more sauce. So let's say that heating is indicative of dissolving more sauce, and this in turn, causes a cooling effect, a super saturation effect. And so our answer overall is going to be false. Due to this reasoning. I hope this helped, and until next time.
