If the solute isn't very soluble, the solution can be saturated and still have very little solute in it, so it would be dilute.

What is the purpose of the saturated NaCl solution for washing an organic layer why not use deionized water?

The bulk of the water can often be removed by shaking or "washing" the organic layer with saturated aqueous sodium chloride. The salt water works to pull the water from the organic layer to the water layer. This is because the concentrated salt solution wants to become more dilute and because salts have a stronger attraction to water than to organic solvents. Note: sometimes a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride is called brine.


What happens when you add more solute to a saturated solution?

The solute normally doesn't dissolve and sinks to the bottom of the container. However, some saturated solutions can become super-saturated for a given temperature and pressure, by altering the conditions without allowing solute to precipitate.


If more solvent is added to a solution?

Adding solvent will make a solution more diluted. Think of it this way. Take water (solvent) and dissolve salt into it (solute). In order to dilute or increase the ratio of solvent to solute, you would add more water.


How much water do you need to dilute 1 liter of used copper chlorine solution from 100000 ppm of copper to1 ppm?

Well, friend, to dilute 1 liter of a copper chloride solution from 100,000 ppm to 1 ppm, you'll need to add quite a bit of water. You see, for every liter of the original solution, you'll need to add 99 liters of water. This will help bring the concentration down to that lovely 1 ppm you're aiming for. Just remember to mix it all up gently, like you're painting a beautiful sky.


Can saturated solution chloride still dissolve epsom salts?

Yes, a saturated solution of chloride can still dissolve Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) because the two compounds have different chemical compositions and solubilities. The chloride ions in the solution do not interfere with the solubility of Epsom salts.

Can a saturated solution be a dilute solution?

Yes, just remove some of the solvent. If you want to see this for yourself, mix a little salt and water together. Then leave it stand so most of the water evaporates. You have saturated a dilute solution.


Is a saturated solution necessarily a dilute solution?

A saturated solution contains as much pof the dissolved material as possible. A dilute solution is almost the opposite, it has only a trace of the dissolved material and the solution could contain much more.


Explain how a solution can be both dilute and saturated?

A solution can be dilute and saturated if there is a small amount of solute relative to the amount of solvent, making it dilute, but all of the solvent has already dissolved the maximum amount of solute possible at that temperature, making it saturated. This can happen when the solute has low solubility in the solvent or if the temperature decreases after the solution has been prepared.


What is saturated dilute and concentrated?

a saturated solution is a solution that cannot dissolve any more substances a concentrated solution is a solution that has a lot of a specific substance in it


When saturated solutions are they usually become unsaturated?

No, the dilute solutions of highly water soluble compounds are unsaturatd as solution of NaCl but dilute solution of AgCl or BaSO4 are saturated because they are very little soluble in water.


Why can't you add water to a saturated solution?

Adding water to a saturated solution will dilute the concentration of the solute, causing some of it to come out of solution. The solution will no longer be saturated because the solute can no longer all remain dissolved in the water.


What is the difference between concentrated solution and dilute solution?

A concentrated solution has a high amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, while a dilute solution has a low amount of solute dissolved in a solvent. The concentration of a solution is usually expressed in terms of mass or volume of solute per unit volume of solvent.


How is osmosis related to solution types?

We define Osmosis as the passage of water from a dilute solution via a membrane which is semi permeable to a more concentrate solution. It means that Semi permeable membrane is a very thin layer of material which allows some molecule to pass through them and prevent some molecule from pass through them. These molecules are decided by the type of solution. Generally, the membrane only allows movement of H2O molecules. So, if on one side is a saturated solution of something while on the other side is a dilute solution, the movement of molecules will be from both the directions but net result will be from saturated to dilute solution.


A dilute solution is one in which?

A dilute solution is one that has a low concentration of solute compared to the solvent. This means that there is a smaller amount of solute dissolved in the solvent, resulting in a less saturated or weaker solution.


Similarities between concentrated solution and dilute solution?
