Respuesta :

Dilution is when you decrease the concentration of a solution by adding a solvent. As a result, if you want to dilute salt water, just add water. ... Add more solute until it quits dissolving. That point at which a solute quits dissolving is the point at which it's saturated.

Answer:

A solution can be diluted and saturated at the same time depending on the solubility of the solute.

Explanation:

A dilute solution is when the amount of solute is in a small amount of solvent, and a saturated solution occurs when the solvent contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a specific temperature.

These 2 concepts can occur at the same time depending on the solubility of the solute, for example a saturated solution of CaCO3 will be diluted because the compound is very poorly soluble in the solvent.
