A solution's concentration is a measure of solute/solvent. Solute is the thing to be mixed in (i.e. salt in salt water) and solvent is the medium, usually liquid, for the solute to be mixed in (i.e. the water in salt water). Therefore, increasing the ratio of solute to solvent would increase the concentration. This could be done by adding more solute, or removing the solvent (i.e. going back to the salt water, adding more salt, or evaporating water would increase the concentration) The converse of this is also true to decrease the concentration.

Is this statement true or false You can make a concentrated solution more dilute by adding solvent.?

True. A concentrated solution can be made more dilute by adding more solvent, which increases the volume of the solution and decreases the concentration of the solute. This process effectively reduces the ratio of solute to solvent, resulting in a less concentrated solution.


If solution A has more solute and less water than solution B then solution A is what to solution B?

Solution A is highly concentrated than solution B.

How is solution related to solubility?

Generally speaking, the more solute in the solution, the less the (remaining) solubility.


What happens if a solution changes from ph5 to ph6?

The solution is becoming more neutral so there are less free protons in the solution.

What word describes how to make a solution less concentrated by adding a liquid?

Dilution is the process of making a solution less concentrated by adding more liquid to it.


How is hypotonic and hypertonic differ?

If we take a example of cell then if the solution outside the cell containing less solutes as compare to inside of cell then that solution is hypotonic and if the solution outside the cell contain more solute concentration then it is hypertonic solution


What could you do to change an unsaturated solution to a saturated solution?

To change an unsaturated solution to a saturated solution, you would need to add more solute to the solution until no more solute can dissolve and starts to accumulate at the bottom. This process is called saturation.


What is a solution that contains less then the maximum solute?

An unsaturated solution is one that contains less solute than the maximum amount it can dissolve at a given temperature. This type of solution has the capacity to dissolve more solute.


When you vary the amount of solute in the solvent what is the difference?

Concentration. More solute--- concentrated solution. less --- dilute solution.
