What is the amount of solute dissolved in a given amount of solvent?
This is known as the concentration or more technically the molarity or molality of the solution.
What is a substance that does the dissolving in a solution?
It is a solvent that dissolves in a solution.
The substance that dissolves in the solvent in a solution?
The substance that is dissolved in a solution is a solute. A solvent is the dissolving medium in a solution.
What is the ratio of solute to solvent in a solution?
Your question is a little ambiguous. However, in general, there is normality, molality and molarity which each describe the concentration of a solute into a solvent. The fraction of moles of solute to solvent could correctly be termed the "molar fraction" or, "molal fraction" depending on whether the solvent is expressed in volume or weight respectively. By contrast, normality is based on the chemical functionality of the solute, for example a 1M solution of sulfuric acid would be about a 2N solution of acid.
What is the ratio of solute to solvent called?
It may be called concentration.
Why would a solution be called isotonic?
A solution with the same ratio of solute to solvent (concentration) as another solution is called isotonic. If it has more solvent and thus a lower solute concentration, then it is called hypertonic.
What is the term for The amount of a solute per amount of solvent?
The term for "the amount of solute dissolved in a given volume of solution" is "concentration"
What is dilute solution and concentration?
A dilute solution is a solution in which there is a small amount of solute (the thing that gets dissolved) compared to the total amount of possible solute that can be dissolved in the solvent (the thing that does the dissolving). A concentrated solution is when there is a lot or all solute that can possibly fit in the solvent.
What is a substance that does the dissolving in a solution?
It is a solvent that dissolves in a solution.
What is the amount of solute dissolved in a given amount of solvent?
This is known as the concentration or more technically the molarity or molality of the solution.
The substance that dissolves in the solvent in a solution?
The substance that is dissolved in a solution is a solute. A solvent is the dissolving medium in a solution.
What is solution that has only a little solute?
A solution that has only a little solute is called a dilute solution. In a dilute solution, the concentration of the solute is low compared to the solvent. The amount of solute in the solution is relatively small.
The dissolving medium is also called the?
Substance which is going to dissolve in medium is called solute and the medium is called solvent. solute + solvent = solution
What is a solution that contains a large amount of solute?
The solution has a lower concentration. We can also say that it is dilute. Concentration is the amount of solute over the volume of solvent, thus when a large amount of solvent is used, concentration of the solution is low.
What is water in a solution?
The water in a solution is called the solvent

In a solution the water is the?
The water in a solution is called the solvent
