Well, a solution is made of a solute dissolved into a solvent, so you could decrease the concentration either by adding more solvent ("watering it down") or removing some solute.

When comparing two solutionsthe solution with the greater concentration of solute so is called?

When comparing two solutions, the solution with the greater concentration of solute is called hypertonic. This means that it has a higher solute concentration compared to the other solution.


Are the hydroxide ions in a solution equal to the strength of the pH of that solution?

The concentration of hydroxide ions in a solution is related to the pH of the solution, but they are not exactly equivalent. The pH of a solution is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions, while the pOH is a measure of the concentration of hydroxide ions. The two values are related by the formula: pH + pOH = 14.


What is a standard solution and how is it used in titration?

A standard solution is a solution with a known concentration of a substance. In titration, a standard solution is used to determine the concentration of another substance by reacting the two solutions until a chemical reaction reaches completion. The volume of the standard solution needed to react completely with the unknown solution is used to calculate the concentration of the unknown substance.


If solution A has more solute and less water than Solution B the solution A is?

Hypertonic compared to solution B, meaning it has a higher solute concentration. Water will tend to move from solution B to solution A in an attempt to equalize the concentration of solute between the two solutions.


Change of a solution that goes from a pH 6 to a pH 8?

The easiest definition of pH, useful at the ranges you mention, is the concentration of hydrogen ions (or univalent donors) in a solution. pH units were defined to use a log base 10 scale rather than a linear scale in order to conveniently represent an enormous range of ion concentrations. Each unit change of pH reflects a 10-fold change of ion concentration. Increasing pH was arbitrarily chosen to represent decreasing hydrogen ion concentration. Hence pH6 to ph8 is a 100x decrease in hydrogen ion concentration.

What are two ways in which you change the concentration of a solution?

Evaporate the solvent; crystallize the dissolved material (by various techniques).


What is a two-fold dilution?

A two-fold dilution involves taking a portion of a solution and mixing it with an equal volume of diluent, resulting in a solution that is half the concentration of the original. This process is often used in laboratories to decrease the concentration of a substance and make it suitable for further testing or analysis.

Why is diffusion affected by a decrease in concentrated gradient?

Diffusion is affected by a decrease in concentration gradient because concentration gradient is directly proportional to the rate of diffusion. A decrease in concentration gradient also lowers the rate of diffusion.


The concentration of a solution of two or more liquids is expressed as a percentage by?

The concentration of a solution of two or more liquids is expressed as a percentage by dividing the amount of solute by the total amount of solution (solute + solvent) and multiplying by 100.


Is it important for the concentration of the reactant solutions to be equal?

Yes. The volume you have of a particular solution does not have anything to do with the concentration of that solution.


What are two ways to make a solution more acidic?

Since acidity is a concentration of H+ ions, we can simply add them (in the form of an acid, such as HCl or H2SO4) or we can remove OH-. The easiest way to remove OH is to just add H, however.


How is a hypertonic solution different from a hypotonic solution?

Hypotonic solution has much less particles dissolved inside the solvent than there is in the cell floating in the mixture. A hypertonic solution has a greater concentration of particles dissolved in the solvent than inside the cell.


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.
