00:01 Different ways we can view solutions.
00:03 So one way you can have a solution is to have an unsaturated solution.
00:08 So let's say we're dissolving sugar and water.
00:11 Water will be the blue background with the lines and sugar will be red cubes.
00:16 So you can add some sugar to water.
00:19 So let's say we add three sugar cubes, this test tube of water.
00:24 When we are able to keep adding more sugar and it will keep dissolving, that means the solution is unsaturated.
00:33 There is room for more sugar still.
00:36 I think of it as not being full yet, but basically as long as you can keep adding solute and it keeps dissolving, you're unsaturated.
00:52 Now let's say you reach a point where you can keep adding solute and it keeps dissolving, you're unsaturated.
00:56 You add so much sugar, let's say it's six cubes.
01:03 And if you added any more sugar, that sugar wouldn't dissolve.
01:07 So you haven't added that next cube yet.
01:10 This is our seventh cube...
