What 2 solute molecules mixed with the solvent molecules in a solution cause the freezing point of a solution to be than it is for an equal volume of pure?
lower, solvent, lower, solvent
How are hypertonic solution and hypo tonic Solution related?
A hypertonic solution has the solute greater than the solvent, whereas a hypotonic solution is the reverse.
What is the relationship between solutes solutions and solvents?
1. A solvent and a solute are both parts of a solution.2. The solvent is mostly in majority and, it dissolves a solute in itself to make a solution.
What is a solution that has very few solute particles dissolved in the solvent?
Concentrated solution. (High density solution) Supersaturated solution if amount of solute is greater than its solubility in the solvent at the given temperature.
What do you add to solvent to make a solution?
To make a solution you add a solute to a solvent.
Explain why a solution has a lower boiling point than the pure solvent?
Most solutions have a HIGHER boiling point than the pure solvent. A solution with a lower boiling point than the solvent has formed an azeotrope.
Alcaligenes faecalis osmatic pressure hypotonic or hypertonic or isotonic?
Hypotonic is a solution that has more solute than solvent while hypertonic is a solution which contains more solvent than solute. Isotonic is a solution where in both solute and solvent are equal in amount.
What 2 solute molecules mixed with the solvent molecules in a solution cause the freezing point of a solution to be than it is for an equal volume of pure?
lower, solvent, lower, solvent
In a solution the substance in which the solute dissolvent?
the solvent
What is a substance that does the dissolving in a solution?
It is a solvent that dissolves in a solution.
Is there a greater amount of solute than solvent present in a solution?
The solute wont get dissolved completely since the solvent (i assume) is less than that of solute. and therefore after the saturation of the solvent a significant amount of solute will remain behind. an incomplete reaction takes place with your condition of mixing.
Which refers to a solution containing a greater concentration of solvent than the solution it is being compared with?
hypotonic
A solution containing large amounts of solute in comparison to solvent is what?
A solution that contains a large amount of solute when compared to the volume of the solvent is called a concentrated solution. Examples of concentrated solutions are hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid. A dilute solution is one where the amount of solute is small compared to the solvent.
A pure solvent has a vapor pressure the vapor pressure of a solution A.EQUALTO B.LOWER THAN C.higher than?
A solution has a higher vapor pressure than a pure solvent. This is why salt water boils faster than pure water.
What is when a solvent can hold more solute than predicted?
It is a supersaturated solution.
Which part of the solution does the dissolving?
The solvent and the solvent dissolves the solute in a solution
How are hypertonic solution and hypo tonic Solution related?
A hypertonic solution has the solute greater than the solvent, whereas a hypotonic solution is the reverse.
