Well, a solution is made of a solute dissolved into a solvent, so you could decrease the concentration either by adding more solvent ("watering it down") or removing some solute.

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 terms describes a solution with a higher concentration of dissolved substances relative to another solution?

You are probably looking for "dilute" but that is wrong, dilute is relative. A dilute solution of table salt (sodium chloride) can be a very different concentration to a dilute solution of slaked lime (calcium hydroxide).

When two solutions are equal in their solute concentration?

isotonic solution


Does the acid increase the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution?

The pH increases. There are two ways to think about this. First, adding hydroxide ions is the same as adding a base, and a base will cause the pH of a solution to become more basic, i.e. increase. Second, hydroxide ions will react with hydrogen ions in the solution to neutralize them, decreasing the concentration of hydrogen ions. Since the pH scale is a negative logarithmic scale, a decrease in the concentration of hydrogen ions means an increase in pH.

How is a hypertonic solution different from a hypotonic solution?

Hypotonic solution has much less particles dissolved inside the solvent than there is in the cell floating in the mixture. A hypertonic solution has a greater concentration of particles dissolved in the solvent than inside the cell.

Is it important for the concentration of the reactant solutions to be equal?

Yes. The volume you have of a particular solution does not have anything to do with the concentration of that solution.

A solution containing a higher concentration of dissolved substances than the cell is termed?

There are two types of solutions categorized by solute concentration. If the solution has a higher saline concentration than the erythrocytes (red blood cells) it is said to be hypertonic. If the opposite is true the solution is then hypotonic.
