When more solvent is added to a solution to decrease it's concentration the action is known as dilution.

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 small amount of solute in solvent called?

A small amount of solute in solvent is called a dilute solution. This means the concentration of the solute is low compared to the amount of solvent.


What is it called when a solution has a lesser concentration of particles?

A solution which has a lesser concentration of particles is said to be dilute.


What is the difference between a dilute solute and a concentrated solution?

If the amount of solute in unit volume of the solution is high, it is called a concentrated solution If the amount of solute in unit volume of the solution is low, it is called dilute solution


Solute per 100g of solvent is called what?

"Solute per 100g solvent" is the unit given to solubility of a substance.


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 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 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 the diffusion of water of another solvent from a more dilute solution to a more concentrated solution through a membrane that is permeable to the solvent?

This process is called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules, such as water, from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration through a selectively permeable membrane. It helps to equalize the concentration of solute particles on both sides of the membrane.


What is it called when a solvent cannot dissolve any more solute?

It is called saturation. When a solvent cannot dissolve any more solute, it is said to be saturated, and the solution is considered to be at its maximum concentration.


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
