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 term used to describe a solution that has a lower concentration of solutes compared to another solution?
Lower concentration of solute is known as the hypotonic solution. The solution with a higher concentration of solute is the hypertonic solution. One with equal solute in solution and whatever its being compared with is known as the isotonic solution.
Concentration is always measured in grams of solute divided by liters of solution?
no ; false
What are the units used to measure acids and bases?
The concentration of an acid or base in solution is measured in moles per litre. The strength of an acid or base in solution is measured on the pH scale. This is the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration. It's a pure number, there are no units.
What ions are measured with a pH scale to determine the acidity of a solution?
The inverse logarithm of the concentration of hydronium ions in a water solution; basicaly, how acidic a solution is.
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).
What is the definition of relative concentration?
the concentration of solution compared with another concentration of a solution
What is the definition of absolute concentration?
the concentration of solution compared with another concentration of solution
Hypertonic SOlution and Hypotonic Solution?
Hypertonic solution is one which has higher osmotic concentration and less solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Hypotonic solution is one that possesses lower osmotic concentration and higher solvent concentration as compared to another solution.
What are the definitions for Hypertonic solution and hypotonic solution?
Hypertonic solution is one which has higher osmotic concentration and less solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Hypotonic solution is one that possesses lower osmotic concentration and higher solvent concentration as compared to another solution.
Which solution contains a higher concentration of solvent that the solution it is being compared with?
A hypo-tonic solution contains higher concentration of solvent. When it is compared with a hyper-tonic solution.
What is the main difference between hypertonic solution and hypotonic solution?
Hypertonic solution is one which has higher osmotic concentration and less solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Hypotonic solution is one that possesses lower osmotic concentration and higher solvent concentration as compared to another solution.
What is isotonic hypertonic hypotonic?
Hypertonic solution is one which has higher osmotic concentration and less solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Hypotonic solution is one that possesses lower osmotic concentration and higher solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Isotonic solution is a solution that has same concentration, osmotic as well as solvent, as that of another solution .
What of an aqueous solution is measured by the relative concentration?

What is a solution that has a lower solute concentration and a higher water concentration then another solution?
Hypotonic is the term describes a solution that has a lower solute concentration and higher water concentration than another solution Hypertonic describes a solution with a higher solute concentration compared with another solution.
What is hypotonic solution?
Hypotonic solution is a type of solution of higher concentration in relation to the solution with which it is been compared
What terms describes A solution that has a lower solute concentration and a higher water concentration than another solution?
Hypotonic is the term describes a solution that has a lower solute concentration and higher water concentration than another solution Hypertonic describes a solution with a higher solute concentration compared with another solution.
