  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-008049",
  "term": "Non-saturating solute",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A component in a solution that is present at a concentration below its solubility limit, meaning it can still dissolve more of that substance. This solute does not form a separate solid phase or reach its maximum possible concentration in the solvent. Its concentration can be increased without causing precipitation or phase separation.",
