Is saline a solvent water solution?
The term "saline" just means salty. A saline solution is water with salt in it. (This is not necessarily table salt, NaCl, but can be other salts as well.)
What is another word for a high percentage of solution?
The term to describe such a solution is CONCENTRATED.
Explain what is meant by an isotonic solution?
You have 60 % of water in your body. 40% in the intro-cellular compartment and 20 % in the Extra cellular compartment. So it comes to be 40 liters in a 'Average' man weighing 70 kg.It means 28 liters in intro-cellular and 14 liters in extra cellular compartment. Human body has carried with it the part of sea, probably as a extra cellular compartment.Isotonic means that tonicity of fluid equal to body fluid.In extra cellular compartment, Sodium chloride is present mainly. It contains 'about' 150 mili mole of Sodium chloride.One mole of Sodium chloride contains 58.5 gram/liter of it.Mass number of Sodium being 23 and that of Chlorine is 35.5. So added together it makes 58.5 gram/liter. One mole of Glucose contains 180 grams/ liter. (C 6 H 12 O 6 means 126 plus 112 plus 16* 6, it means mass numbers of the respective elements.) (It means 1000 mili mole/liter.) So 9 gram/liter or 0.9 % of sodium chloride or 0.9 gram/100 ml, makes Isotonic saline solution. So Isotonic solution is compatible with 'Human' normal saline solution.It will neither make cells to shrink nor swell. So 0.45 % Sodium chloride solution is Hypo-tonic and 0.9% Sodium chloride with 5 % Glucose solution is Hyper-tonic.(In your body, Glucose will be rapidly utilized to give energy and you get Isotonic saline solution.) Normal saline solution means in which 1 mole of molecules dissolve/ liter and is a term used in chemistry. So when you say Normal saline, it means it contains 58.5 gram/liter of sodium chloride and will kill the patient in no time, after few infusions. So previously human normal saline and then 'Isotonic' saline solution is the correct term to be used. The normal saline solution available in market is not "Normal'. It is 'Isotonic' solut

How do you dry contact lenses for storing?
You store lenses wet, not dry. Short term use saline solution, long term use hydrogen peroxide. To use them, take them out of the peroxide and let them sit in saline for at least 24 hours to remove all of the peroxide from them.

ONe word term is 'Dissolution'. Or Making a solution.
What term or terms could be used to describe salt dissolved in water?

What is a solution in science give you an example?
Examples (for chemistry): sugar in water, saline water, wine, vinegar and many others.But solution is a term used also in mathematics, justice, philosophy, logic etc.
