The contrast of solute and solvent?
Solute is the substance dissolved in a solvent.For example, for a sodium chloride (cooking salt) solution the water is the solvent and the salt the solute.
What is the most significant solute in determining the distribution of water among fluid compartments?
Salt
What is a solution with the same concentration of water and solutes as inside a cell resulting in the cell retaining its normal shape because there is no net movement of water?
Isotonic solution.Common table salt when added to water is an example of a solute. For example, salt crystals (the solute) are the part of salt water (a solution) which has changed its state when added to water (the solvent).
How does water leave a cell when placed in salt water?
osmosis, which is diffusion of water across a membrane from an area with lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane.
What type of solution will cause water to move into a cell?
The terms associated with this phenomenon can be quite difficult to get the grasp of for some reason or another to all students. The best way I can describe this is by starting with the solution. By definition of a solution you have a solute and a solvent. The solute is the substance with the lesser concentration. ( e.g. if you have a solution of Salt Water The NaCl (table salt) is dissolved into the H2O( water) since the Salt is being dissolved it is the solute. If you have 2 solutions of salt water Solution A : 10% salt; 90% Water Solution B : 30% salt and 70% water. The two solutions are obiviouslty not equal in proprtion (if they were they would be Isotonic [ equal concentration amounts of water in both solutions]) A Hypertonic Solution Means that it has a higher concentration of solute then the solution in comparison. in this case the solution B would be hypertonic to Solution A. This because the Solute concentration is higher in B than A. Solution B is the hypotonic to solution A because it has a lower concentration of solute. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration so since Solution B has a lower concentration of water Solution A will pass water into it going from hypotonic to hypertonic.
What is the solvent in an aqueous solution of salt?
The solvent is water, the solute is salt; solvent and solute form a solution.
Is water the solute in a salt water solution?
No, salt is the solute and water is the solvent
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.
In salt water the salt is?
the salt is the solute
What is the solute for salt water?
salt
What is solute and solvent of an salt solution?
Salt is the solute. Water is the solvent in a salt solution.
What the salt in water solute?
Salt is the solute. Water is the solvent. Salt water is the solution. This solution is sometimes called a saline solution.
When salt is dissolved in water what is the water?
The salt is the solute and the water is the solvent. Water is the solvent because it is what dissolves the solid salt into the solution. The water molecules pull apart the crystal structure of salt and surround the salt ions.
What melts the solvent or solute?
Dissolving is not the same thing as melting. When you dissolve salt in water, for example, neither the salt nor the water melts. In the example of salt in water, salt is the solute and water is the solvent. The salt (which is the solute) is what dissolves (but does not melt).
In salt water what is the solvent and what is the solute?
When salt dissolves in water, the salt is the solute, and the solvent is the water. Whenever you have a solution, the substance that is being dissolved is the solute, the substance that it is being dissolved in is the solvent.
If you have a solution of saltwater. In this solution what is the solvent and what is the solute?
The solvent is the water (chemical formula H2O). The solute is the salt (table salt, NaCl or another substance).
When salt is dissolved in water the water is the?
Water would be the solvent in this case.
