What would the effect of a high solute solution be on bacteria?

A high solute solution, also called a hypertonic solution, would draw the water out of the bacteria cell causing it to shrivel and eventually die. This process utilizes osmosis, the water in the cell will move to where the solutes are more concentrated.

What is the difference between solvent and solution?
The solvent in a solution is dissolving the solute. A solution is groups of molecules that are mixed in a completely even distribution. Basically a solute dissolved in a solvent. An example of a solvent would be water and a solute could be sugar. The sugar would dissolve in the water which would be a solution.
What is the solvent and solution in tincture of iodine?
The solute would be iodine, and the solvent would be tincture
What happens when you add solute to supersaturated solution?
The solute can re-form as a solid.
What does saturateo solution mean in chrmistry?
In chemistry, a saturated solution refers to a solution in which no more solute can dissolve at a given temperature and pressure. This means that the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved in the solvent. Any additional solute added to the solution will remain undissolved and form a precipitate.
What does it mean for a solution to be super saturated?
Under some circumstances it is possible to dissolve more of a solute into a solution than the nominal solubility of that solute would allow. A saturated solution is one that contains all the solute that will normally dissolve, and a supersaturated solution contains even more of that solute. If the solution is disturbed in some way (the appearance of a nucleating particle, stirring, etc.) then the excess solute will precipitate from the solution, or in the case of a gas, will bubble out of the solution.
Why you need to heat the solution in order to prepare supersaturated solution?
Effect of heat would be the solvent will be dissolved fast and the temperature changes contribute to the change of the effect of the supersaturated solution.
What is a solute and solevent in a saltwater solution?
In a basic saltwater solution, the water molecules would be the solvent and the salt molecules would be the solute.
What happens if you continue to add solute to saturated solution?
All that would happen is the solute would not absorb into the solution and it would spill off eventually.
What would salt be in a saltwater solution?
It would be the solute.

What has only a little bit of solute in the solution?
This would be a dilute solution.
What is a solution that contains less then the maximum solute?
This would be an unsaturated solution.
How would you define solute in chemistry?
Solute in chemistry means the substance that dissolves in a solution.
How would make a concentrated solution?
you can change the solute
Is salt in a salt solution is solvent or solute?
Solute, because it is the minor component in the solution and it is what dissolves in the solvent. For example: Salt Water - The salt is the solute that dissoles in the solvent, which is water.
What is the solvent in NaCl?
Sodium chloride is a solute when is dissolved in water (the solvent).
How would you test for the saturation of the solution?
The solution which is saturated cannot dissolve more solute in it.So when the solutes stops dissolving in the solution the solution is saturated.You can drop a crystal of solute in the solution and the crystal do not dissolve then the solution is saturated.
