Can you define saturation....?

Explanation:

$K I (s) H_{2} O ⇌ K^{+} + I^{-}$ $KI(s) stackrel(H_2O)rightleftharpoonsK^+ +I^-$ ..

...and this describes an equilibrium scenario, where the concentration of $K I (a q)$ $KI(aq)$ is the SAME as it would be were the solution were in equilibrium with UNDISSOLVED solute.

This site reports exceptionally high solubility... And so to make the stuff, take a SMALL volume of water...approx. $1 - 2 \cdot m L$ $1-2*mL$ , and load the solution with $2 - 3 \cdot g$ $2-3*g$ of the potassium salt.

AS always, saturation, depends on temperature in that a hot solvent can solvate more solute than a cold one...(and that sounds like an Australian beer commercial.. $I could go a cold one son!$ $"I could go a cold one son!"$ ).
