What is diffussion and osmosis?
The difference between diffusion and osmosis is that diffusion is the passive movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration down the concentration gradient. Particles will continue to move until dynamic equilibrium is reached, which is a state where the particles are evenly spread.Osmosis is the movement of water from a hypotonic solution (solution with less concentration) to a hypertonic solution (solution with a greater concentration of solute). Water will move to even the concentration of the two solutions to establish a state where both solutions are isotonic. ( two solutions have the same concentration).
What is osmosis pressure?
Its known is osmotic pressure When two solution of volumes are separated by a semi-permeable membrane, water will flow from the volume of low solute concentration, to the volume of high solute concentration. The flow may be stopped, or even reversed by applying external pressure on the volume of higher concentration. In such a case the phenomenon is called reverse osmosis. If there are solute molecules only in one volume of the system, then the pressure on it, that stops the flow, is called the osmotic pressure.
What happens when you add more of a material to water than will it dissolve?
no i t will notansw2. the solution has become saturated, or even 'supersaturated' when it contains more solute than it can support when the temperature drops.
What is the Definition of phase of true solution?
the solute particles which cannot be seen through naked eye or not even through microscopes in the solution is called a true solution
How much more acid is a solution of pH 2 than one of pH 5?
Only if it is the same acid. ie. You can have 1.0moldm^-3 H2SO4 (sulfuric acid, in car batteries) and 1.0moldm^-3 HCO3 (carbonic acid, in natural acid rain). Even though they are the same concentration, the sulfuric acid is much stronger.
What solution that contains a high concentration of a solute but that can hold even more solute is?
An unsaturated solution
What does it mean for a solution to be super saturated?
Under some circumstances it is possible to dissolve more of a solute into a solution than the nominal solubility of that solute would allow. A saturated solution is one that contains all the solute that will normally dissolve, and a supersaturated solution contains even more of that solute. If the solution is disturbed in some way (the appearance of a nucleating particle, stirring, etc.) then the excess solute will precipitate from the solution, or in the case of a gas, will bubble out of the solution.
Is a concentrated solution always a saturated solution?
No, a concentrated solution need not be saturated always.Concentrated simply implies the presence of a particular solute in a solution in high percentile.Saturation implies that the addition of even a very small amount of a solute will result in a change of phase.Concentrated solution is a solution that contains a large amount of solute relative to the amount that could dissolve.
What is the eventual result of diffusion describe concentration prior to and at this point?
The eventual result of diffusion is equilibrium. The concentrations prior to this point would be uneven. The solutes then diffuse from areas of high solute concentration to areas of low solute concentration. After diffusion, at equilibrium, the concentration will be even in different areas.
If cells are placed in a isotonic solution containing a solute to which the membrane is impermeable what could happen?
If the solution is hypotonic, that means that the concentration is less than that in the cell. Interestingly, despite the impermeability of the solute, the water still rushes into the cell to try and correct the imbalance, which causes the cell to swell and eventually burst.

What is a solute pump?
Under normal circumstances, chemical concentrations in any given solution tend to even themselves out, by diffusion, and by the normal process of entropy. Cells often need to have a higher concentration, or a lower concentration of some chemical (which is a solute, because it is dissolved in water) than the concentration that exists outside the cell in the intercellular fluid, the lymph, the blood, or the cerebro-spinal fluid, as the case may be. In order to obtain that difference in concentration it is necessary to have some mechanism in the cell membrane that will actually pump the chemical in question, either out of the cell or into the cell, depending upon whether it is a higher concentration or a lower concentration that is needed. So, there are protein structures that can do this. Those are the solute pumps.
What happens when you add solute to supersaturated solution?
The solute can re-form as a solid.
Does solute mean salt?
Not necessarily. Salt can be deemed a solute but solute can mean other things. You can even regard oxygen dissolved in water as solute. A solute (usually solid) in a solvent (usually liquid) is a solution (such as salty water, {brine} or a sugar solution.
What is osmosis pressure?
Its known is osmotic pressure When two solution of volumes are separated by a semi-permeable membrane, water will flow from the volume of low solute concentration, to the volume of high solute concentration. The flow may be stopped, or even reversed by applying external pressure on the volume of higher concentration. In such a case the phenomenon is called reverse osmosis. If there are solute molecules only in one volume of the system, then the pressure on it, that stops the flow, is called the osmotic pressure.
What is the difference between solvent and solution?
The solvent in a solution is dissolving the solute. A solution is groups of molecules that are mixed in a completely even distribution. Basically a solute dissolved in a solvent. An example of a solvent would be water and a solute could be sugar. The sugar would dissolve in the water which would be a solution.
What happens when you add more of a material to water than will it dissolve?
no i t will notansw2. the solution has become saturated, or even 'supersaturated' when it contains more solute than it can support when the temperature drops.
