When comparing two solutions the solution with greater concentration is?
It often depends. The one with more solute has a higher concentration of solute than the other. In pertaining to osmosis, the hypotonic (or hypoosmotic) solution has less solute and more water over a semi-permeable membrane where the hyperotonic (or hyperosmotic) solution has more solute and less water over a semi-permeable membrane.
Can water be a solute?
Water can be a solute under some circumstances. For example, if 1cm3 of water is added to 100cm3 of ethanol, an ethanolic solution is formed in which ethanol is the solvent and water is the solute!!!note: a solute is that which is less in quantity and solvent is which is more in quantity
Do unsaturated solutions have less solute then saturated solutions do?
Yes. For example, an unsaturated sugar solution has less solute than a saturated sugar solution.
What are the differences between a saturated solutionunsaturated solution and a supersaturated solution?
A saturated solution is where there is more solute in a solution than a solvent. A unsaturated solution is where there is more solvent than solute in a solution. And a super saturated solution is when let's say you boil water and put a bunch of sugar crystals in it,it will hold more solute than when it's cooled. So youhave a bunch of crystals in boiled water, then you cool the water down and sometimes the crystals will stay in the solution. Then it becomes supersaturated. Sorry if I'm wrong. :3
Is salt water dilute or concentrated?
The word 'dilute' is an inexact term. Hypotonic (less solute) and hypertonic (more solute) and isotonic (the same amount) are relative terms. What they mean is that a solution will either have less, more, or the same concentration of a given solute than the reference substance. It is important in cells because a hypertonic solution (such as salt water) will try to pull free water out of the cell, where the concentration of salt is less. A hypotonic solution will cause water to soak into the cells. Either situation may be undesirable. For osmosis, water will flow across a semipermeable membrane in the direction of the pressure gradient. It will always flow from the hypotonic solution into the hypertonic solution. Plants absorb water by creating a hypertonic state inside the root.
If solution A has more solute and less water than Solution B the solution A is?
unsaturated.
A solution in which water is the solvent?
Solvent = substance in more abundance. Solute = substance in less abundance. Put a little something in a lot of water. The something is the solute and the water is the solvent. For example, salt water is a solution where the salt is the solute and the water is the solvent.

When you vary the amount of solute in the solvent what is the difference?
Concentration. More solute--- concentrated solution. less --- dilute solution.

Qualitative Concentration of Solution?
Qualitative Concentration of SolutionDilute-to make thinner by the addition of water & likeUnsaturated-contains less solute then solventSupersaturated-Contains more solute than solvent.Solvent cannot be dissolve any more in the given solvent.Concentrated-purer and strongerSaturated-is a solution where are more solute than solvent.
What happens in a hypotonic solution?
A hypotonic solution is a solution that has less solute and more water than another solution. The concentration of total dissolved solutes is not equal on both sides, there will be net movement of water molecules into the cell.
How is solution related to solubility?
Generally speaking, the more solute in the solution, the less the (remaining) solubility.
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.
Can a supersaturated solution hold less solute than it normally can?
No. A supersaturated solution holds more solute than the solvent could normally hold.
Water will diffuse out of a cell when the cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
You are correct. A hypertonic solution is a solution outside the cell that has more solute in it that water. This means that there is more water inside the cell than solute. Because there is more water in the cell, it will diffuse out of it and the cell will shrivel up.
What solution cannot dissolve any more solute under specified conditions?
A solution that does not allow any more solute to dissolve (at room temperature) is called a SATURATED SOLUTION. But a saturated solution can be made to dissolve more solute by heating it. Then it is called a super saturated solution.The solvent becomes saturated and the no more solute will disolve
