When a salt is added to its saturated solution, the salt

A.

dissolves and the solution becomes super saturated

B.

dissolves and the solution becomes unsaturated

C.

precipitates and the solution remains unchanged

D.

dissolves and crystals are formed

Correct answer is C

The point of saturation is the point it gets to and from thence, the solution can no longer take in the salt anymore. From this point, it begins to form precipitate while the solution remains unchanged.
