You can determine if the solution is saturated by adding a small amount of salt to the solution. If the salt dissolves, the solution is unsaturated. If the added salt does not dissolve and collects at the bottom of the container, the solution is saturated.
Adding salt to water increases its density and lowers its freezing point. ---------------------- I've just completed a repeated experiment on the effects of salt and the freezing point of water. A saturated salt solution will not freeze at -15 degrees Celsius (my freezer temperature). At exactly -21.1 degrees Celsius the salt begins to crystallize out of the solution, along with the ice, until the solution completely freezes.
The amount of Epsom salt in a saturated solution depends on factors such as temperature and pressure. At room temperature, approximately 115 grams of Epsom salt can dissolve in 100 mL of water to form a saturated solution.
When table salt (sodium chloride) is dissolved in water, it dissociates into its two ions, sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-). This results in a clear solution where the salt is evenly distributed throughout the water.
To make a saturated salt solution, simply add salt to water and stir until no more salt dissolves. This means that the solution is holding as much salt as it can at that temperature. It is important to use hot water and stir continuously to help dissolve the salt effectively.
One solution that will not freeze at 0 degrees Celsius is a saturated salt solution, such as a solution of sodium chloride (table salt) in water. The addition of salt lowers the freezing point of water, preventing it from freezing at 0 degrees Celsius.
When you first mix the salt into the solution the salt will dissolve into the water. As you keep on pouring more salt into the water eventually the salt will stop dissolving and once the salt stops dissolving the solution is then saturated.

This salt solution is saturated at room temperature.
freeze the saltwater solution
From your question it is impossible to tell. A salt-water solution can be unsaturated or saturated depending on how much salt was added.

Adding salt to water lowers its freezing point by an amount that is dependent on the salt concentration. A saturated solution, for instance, will have a freezing point of about -20ºC compared with 0ºC for pure water. In any case, pure water will freeze earlier than salt water, because pure water has a higher freezing point.
It will be saturated salt solution with salt crystals at the bottom of the container.
Salt lowers the freezing point of water, meaning it needs to be colder for the salt water to freeze compared to pure water. The salt itself does not freeze because its freezing temperature is much lower than that of the salt water solution.
