What happens to a concentrated solution when a large amount of solventis added to it?
When a large amount of solvent is added to a concentrated solution, the concentration of the solution decreases. This process is known as dilution. The overall volume of the solution increases, but the amount of solute remains the same.
What will happen if a highly concentrated substance is added to a solution?
It will gradually diffuse until it reaches equilibrium.
How do concentrated and dilute solutions differ from saturated and unsaturated ones?
Nothing more can be added to a saturated solution - the liquid is literally 'full up' with the solute being dissolved, so if you carry on adding the solute, it will not dissolve and the solution will not become any more concentrated. A concentrated solution has a very large amount of the solute in it (there is more solute than solvent), but it has not yet reached the point where no more solute can be dissolved. If you keep adding to it, the solute will dissolve.
What happens to a concentrated solution when a large amount of solvent is added to it?
No, suspensions and solutions are two different things. In a solution, the particles break down into molecules, and the molecules are broken down into ions, and these mix and bond with the molecules of the solvent. In a suspension, the particles remain exactly as they are, floating in the fluid.
What happen when solvent is equal to solute?
When the amount of solute is equal to the amount of solvent, the solution becomes saturated. This means that no more solute can dissolve in the solvent at that temperature. Any additional solute added will remain as undissolved solid at the bottom of the container.
What are some ways to classify solution?
Solutions can be classified based on their physical state (solid, liquid, gas), composition (solute and solvent), concentration (dilute, concentrated), and behavior when a solute is added (saturated, unsaturated, supersaturated).
Explain the term concentrated solution and dilute solution?
A solution contains two things. A solute (the thing which is dissolved) and the solvent (the thing it's dissolved into). For example to make salt-water, you dissolve the solute (salt) into the solvent (water). A concentrated solution has a lot of solute, compared to the amount of solvent. There are two ways to concentrate a solution. 1) adding more solute. 2) removing some of the solvent (usually through evaporation). A dilute solution is the opposite, it has very little solute in there. The two ways of diluting a solution are; 1) adding more solvent. 2) removing some of the solute. Most solutions have a point of saturation, where the maximum amount of solute has been added. This is the maximum concentration of the solution.
What is a non example of dilute solution?
A non-example of a dilute solution would be a concentrated solution. This would be a solution where a large amount of solute is dissolved in a small amount of solvent. Concentrated solutions have a high solute-to-solvent ratio.
When a soluble solid is added to a solvent is a solution made?
If the solid is soluble in that particular solvent, yes you will get a solution.
When more solvent is added to a solution to decrease its concentration it is called?
When more solvent is added to a solution to decrease its concentration, it is called dilution. Dilution involves reducing the concentration of solute particles within the solution by adding more solvent to increase the total volume.
How do you dissolve more solute in a solvent?
If the solute is soluble, it will dissolve in the solvent.
If more solvent is added to a solution?
Adding solvent will make a solution more diluted. Think of it this way. Take water (solvent) and dissolve salt into it (solute). In order to dilute or increase the ratio of solvent to solute, you would add more water.
