Name as many ways as you can to make a saturated solution

Question:   Name as many ways as you can to make a saturated solution.


Answer:

1)  You can add solute to a liquid until it stops dissolving.

2)  You can evaporate solvent from an unsaturated solution until solute starts precipitating.

3)  You can add a seed crystal to a supersaturated solution, causing solute to precipitate until the solution is saturated.

That's all I can think of!
