Do the volume of the material stays constant when a solution is diluted?
Usually not, but you can add more solvent and remove a compensating volume of the solute. This is easest if it is a liquid-in-liquid or a gas-in-gas solution.
How do cells respond to environments with different solute concentrations?
There are three types of solute concentrations, Isotonic, Hypotonic and Hypertonic. The prefix refers to how much solute is in the solution as compared to the inside of the cell. In Isotonic, the cell and solution have the same concentration of solute, so the cell stays the same size. In Hypertonic, the cell has less solute than the solution, and therefore gives water to to balance out and shrivels. In Hypotonic, the cell has more solute than the solution, and accepts water from the solution, thereby swelling, which is potentially beneficial in plant cells but can destroy animal cells. I hope this answers your questions. Isotonic is the best for animals, hypotonic is the best for plants.
How do the solvent particles break up from the solute?
When a solute dissolves it breaks apart into its individual particles. The solute and solvent particles mix together and become totally mixed up. That's why a solution is a mixture! As the solute and solvent particles become mixed up, no matter is lost. The overall mass stays the same.
Why sugar solution stays yellow in a turmeric indicator?
The sugar solution is neutral.
In an isotonic solution what happens to the shape of the cell?
it stays the same
What is different about mixture and solution?
In a mixture, the solute is not completely dissolved by the solvent and so stays detectable (a heterogeneous mixture). In a solution, the solute is completely dissolved and cannot be distinguished from the solvent (a homogeneous solution)

When the acidic solution is added to the basic solution what happens to the pH does it increase decrease or stays the same?
It depends on the original pH of both solutions.
When solid is dissolved in a liquid?
When a solid is dissolved in a liquid, the liquid is said to be the solvent and the solid is to be the solute. The liquid that you get after dissolving the solid into the liquid is called the solution. When a solute dissolves, the solvent particles attract the particles of the solute away which breaks the cluster of particles apart. After dissolving enough amount that the solvent cannot dissolve more, the solution is said to be saturated. It is the state when the solution cannot dissolve anymore solute. The opposite of solution is suspension. A suspension is when the solute cannot be dissolved (that is, it is insoluble) into the solvent and stays suspended in the solvent. A suspension is translucent and the suspended particles can be easily seen. While, in a solution, the particles are soluble and complete dissolve into the solvent. A solution is transparent and the particles are too small to be seen through naked eyes.

When a solute dissolves it breaks apart into its individual particles. The solute and solvent particles mix together and become totally mixed up. That's why a solution is a mixture! As the solute and solvent particles become mixed up, no matter is lost. The overall mass stays the same.

The sugar solution is neutral.
What happens to a red blood cell when exposed to isotonic solutions?
If a red blood cell is placed in an isotonic solution then nothing should happen physically because an isotonic solution is one that has the same solute concentration as the red blood cell itself.
In an isotonic solution what happens to the shape of the cell?
it stays the same
What word describes a tree that stays green all year?
Why an evergreen of course!
How do crystals form?
Crystals start to form by a process called nucleation. This process can either start with the molecules themselves (unassisted nucleation), or with the help of some solid matter that is already in the solution (assisted nucleation). When molecules of the "solute" (the stuff of which you want to grow crystals) are in solution, most of the time they see only solvent molecules around them. However, occasionally they see other solute molecules. If the compound is a solid when it is pure, there will be some attractive force between these solute molecules. Most of the time when these solute molecules meet they will stay together for a little while, but then other forces eventually pull them apart. Sometimes though, the two molecules stay together long enough to meet up with a third, and then a fourth (and fifth, etc.) solute molecule. Most of the time when there are just a few molecules joined together, they break apart. However, once there becomes a certain number of solute molecules, a so-called "critical size" where the combined attractive forces between the solute molecules become stronger than the other forces in the solution which tend to disrupt the formation of these "aggregates". This when this "protocrystal" (a sort of pre-crystal) becomes a nucleation site. As this protocrystal floats around in solution, it encounters other solute molecules. These solute molecules feel the attractive force of the protocrystal and join in. That's how the crystal begins to grow. It continues growing until eventually, it can no longer remain "dissolved" in the solution and it falls out (as chemists like to say) of solution. Now other solute molecules begin growing on the surface of the crystal and it keeps on getting bigger until there is an equilibrium reached between the solute molecules in the crystal and those still dissolved in the solvent. Pretty much the same thing happens as in unassisted nucleation, except that a solid surface (like a stone, or brick) acts as a place for solute molecules to meet. A solute molecule encounters the surface of a stone, it adsorbs to this surface, and stays on it for a certain time before other randomizing forces of the solution knock it off. Solute molecules will tend to adsorb and aggregate on the surface. This is where the protocrystal forms, and the same process as described above happens. You can probably see why, from what I wrote above, crystals grow fastest in a solution in which the concentration is near saturation. If there are more solute molecules in a given volume, then there is more of a chance they will meet one another. You also don't want to heat up the solution because that acts as the major randomizing force in solution which causes the aggregates of molecules to break up.
How do crystals form in the lake?
by nucleationThe above is correct, but just to be more clear, nucleation is not the same thing as a nuclear bomb going off in a lake, or anywhere else. See the related link for more information.Unassisted nucleationWhen molecules of the "solute" (the stuff of which you want to grow crystals) are in solution, most of the time they see only solvent molecules around them.
