Answer the following question given this paragraph: 

Solutions can also become supersaturated , where the amount of solute dissolved exceeds its solubility. Supersaturation most commonly occurs when a saturated solution is slowly cooled. They occur frequently in geological and meteorological processes. Supersaturated systems are unstable, and eventually, the solute will precipitate until a saturated solution is regenerated. We can quantify supersaturation by looking at solubility curves. If the ratio of solute to solvent is above the saturation curve at the given temperature, the solution is supersaturated. If it is on the curve, the solution is saturated, and if it is below the curve, the solution is unsaturated.


Q: Solutions can also become supersaturated , where the amount of solute dissolved exceeds what?


A:
its solubility
