A dilute solution can be saturated if the substance being dissolved has a very low soluability - ie only a small ammount can dissolve before it is saturated.
A saturated solution is a solution in which the solvent (eg water, acetone, methanol, etc) cant dissolve anymore of the solute (the component being dissolved - eg salt, sugar, etc). If the component is not very soluable (ie it doesn't dissolve very easily) then even small amounts of the substance being dissolved will cause the solution to become saturated. It will then be a dillute solution that is saturated.

it is precisely what i'm analyzing in my Chem classification suitable now. a answer could be dilute yet in addition saturated, yet on condition that that answer demands little or no solute to alter into saturated. it would be seen dilute because of the fact in assessment to different recommendations, it has an extremely small solute to solvent ratio.

There could be a condition that prevented the solvent from accepting more of the dissolved substance. An example would be a solution of ethyl alcohol in water, at close to the boiling point.

Dilute the miracle grow and saturate the plant with it.
