Question

A student adds salt to water until no more salt dissolves and some salt remains undissolved at the bottom. What does this indicate?

This question was previously asked in
RRB Group D 2025 Question Paper (18-Aug-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

The solution formed is saturated salt solution

A solution that cannot dissolve any more solute at a given temperature is called saturated.

When extra salt stays undissolved at the bottom, the water has dissolved as much salt as it can.

Salt is quite soluble in water, and a salt solution is a true solution, not a colloid.

Hence, the answer is The solution formed is saturated salt solution.
