What is a concentration of a solution?
The concentration of a solution is basically how strong the solution is.
What quantities are compared when the concentration of a solution is measured?
In science, concentration is the number of moles of solute divided by the total volume of the solution (not just the volume of the solvent). Concentration units can also include the percentage solute to the total mass of the solution; the parts per million, ppm of the solute compared to the total parts present.
What is the ratio of solute to solvent in a solution?
Your question is a little ambiguous. However, in general, there is normality, molality and molarity which each describe the concentration of a solute into a solvent. The fraction of moles of solute to solvent could correctly be termed the "molar fraction" or, "molal fraction" depending on whether the solvent is expressed in volume or weight respectively. By contrast, normality is based on the chemical functionality of the solute, for example a 1M solution of sulfuric acid would be about a 2N solution of acid.
How much sugar is there in 100mL of a10 percent aqueous sugar solution and what is the solvent in the solution?
percent concentration = (mass of solute/volume of solution) X 100 To solve for mass of solute, mass of solute = (percent concentration X volume of solution)/100 So, mass of solute = (10% X 100mL)/100 = 10g
What happens to the concentration as the solution is diluted?
When a given solution is diluted, it concentration is usually lowered as well. The density of the given solution also changes when the solution is diluted.
Is concentration a measure of the volume of a solution?
No. It refers to the relative volumes of solute to solvent, not the physical amount.
Solution of different concentration can be prepared by?
Solution of different concentrations can be prepared by the adequate choice of the solute amount and the volume of the solvent.
What is concentration of solutions?
The concentration of solution is simply defined as the amount of solute present in a given amount (mass or volume) of solution, or the amount of solute dissolved in a given mass or volume of solvent. In other words, it is a term used to express how much of solute is dissolved in a particular quantity of solvent or solution. Hope this helps:)
What is a concentration of a solution?
The concentration of a solution is basically how strong the solution is.
What is the term for The amount of a solute per amount of solvent?
The term for "the amount of solute dissolved in a given volume of solution" is "concentration"
What quantities are compared when the concentration of a solution is measured?
In science, concentration is the number of moles of solute divided by the total volume of the solution (not just the volume of the solvent). Concentration units can also include the percentage solute to the total mass of the solution; the parts per million, ppm of the solute compared to the total parts present.
What examples illustrates the physical property of concentration?
In chemistry, concentration is the abundance of a constituent divided by the total volume of a mixture. Several types of mathematical description can be distinguished: mass concentration, molar concentration, number concentration, and volume concentration. To concentrate a solution, one must add more solute (for example, alcohol), or reduce the amount of solvent (for example, water). By contrast, to dilute a solution, one must add more solvent, or reduce the amount of solute.
How can you change concentration?
To increase the concentration of a solution, you can decrease the amount of solvent by boiling off, or by evaporation, or you can simply add more solute. Conversely, to decrease the concentration, you can add more solvent.
What is dilute solution and concentration?
A dilute solution is a solution in which there is a small amount of solute (the thing that gets dissolved) compared to the total amount of possible solute that can be dissolved in the solvent (the thing that does the dissolving). A concentrated solution is when there is a lot or all solute that can possibly fit in the solvent.

What do you mean by concentrated solution?
The quantity of a dissolved constituent in a unit volume or mass of the solution is the most common meaning. "Concentration" could also mean "concentrating", which is a process of increasing the first given meaning of "concentration" in the solution, most often by decreasing the amount of solvent per unit volume or mass.
A measurement of how much solute exists within a certain volume of solvent?
Mass of solute X 100 Mass of solvent
