If a solvent evaporates from a solution does the concentration stay the same?

The concentration will increase since the quantity of the solved material increases compared to the quantity of the solvent which is lost due to solvent evaporation.

How can two solutions have the same concentration if one solution has twice as much of solvent?
If one solution has twice as much solvent, but has the same concentration then it also has twice as much insolvent.
How do you recover a solvent from a solution?
Reverse osmosis is used to recover solids solutes from liquid solution. So consequently the answer to the question is to describe the Reverse osmosis process, use wikipedia or google for the description of the reverse osmosis process.
What is a solotion in science?
A solute in chemistry is a substance that is dissolved in a liquid (the solvent) to create a solution. There are two types of solutions: Unsaturated solution and a saturated solution. Unsaturated solution: A solutions that contains less dissolved solute than it can under existing conditions. Saturated solution: A solution that contains as much dissolved solute as it can under existing conditions. However, if it's two liquids making a solution together by blending together, this is called miscible. Immiscible is being unable to do so.
Effect of Diluting a buffer?
The buffer capacity increases as the concentration of the buffer solution increases and is a maximum when the pH is equal to the same value as the pKa of the weak acid in the buffer. A buffer solution is a good buffer in the pH range that is + or - 1 pH unit of the pKa. Beyond that, buffering capacity is minimal.
Why is a solution classified as a mixture?
A solution contains a solvent and one or more solutes. It is classified as a mixture because when a substance is dissolved in another substance, the two substances are still the same substances, not having undergone any significant chemical change, they are just mixed together.
What is isotonic hypertonic hypotonic?
Hypertonic solution is one which has higher osmotic concentration and less solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Hypotonic solution is one that possesses lower osmotic concentration and higher solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Isotonic solution is a solution that has same concentration, osmotic as well as solvent, as that of another solution .
How can two solutions have the same concentration if one solution has twice as much of solvent?
If one solution has twice as much solvent, but has the same concentration then it also has twice as much insolvent.
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.
Is water isotonic hypotonic or hypertonic?
Hypertonic solution is one which has higher osmotic concentration and less solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Hypotonic solution is one that possesses lower osmotic concentration and higher solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Isotonic solution is a solution that has same concentration, osmotic as well as solvent, as that of another solution . Pure water is hypotonic but water having salt is isotonic. So,water may be either isotonic or hypotonic
What do isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic deal with?
A hypertonic solution is one containing more solute, a hypotonic solution contains more water, and an isotonic solution contains equal amounts of solute and water. Whether a solution is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic can determine what happens to the cell. In a hypertonic solution, solute will diffuse into the cell down the concentration gradient. In a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell by osmosis down a water potential gradient, and in an isotonic solution nothing will happen because the concentration and water potential are the same both inside and outside the cell.
What is the difference between the hypotonic and hypertonic?
A hypertonic solution has more solutes than a cell, where the cell shrinks and possibly dies but a hypotonic solution, meanwhile, has less solutes than a cell where the cell expands and possibly bursts.
What are two properties of a homogeneous solution?
The concentration of the solute and solvent are the same throughout, and the solute will not settle out, and cannot be filtered. A homogeneous solution also exists as one phase, such as a liquid.
What happens to a saturated solution when some of the solvent evaporates?
yes, as solvent evaporate only solute will left behind with little solvent.thus solution will become more saturated. for example NaCl dissolve in water.after evaporation of some water the remaining solution will be saturated.
The relative concentration of water in a hypotonic solution is?
The concentration of water in a hypotonic solution is relatively high. It is due to smaller amount of solute in the solvent.
Is solvent the same as solution?
No. The "solvent" is the liquid that does makes the solid dissolve.For example, in a solution of salt water, the solvent is "water", and the solute is salt.
Is soda hypertonic?
Soda is hypertonic, but it all depends what you are comparing it to. As long as the other solution you are using in the semi-permiable membrane has a lower number of solute particles than soda it is still Hypertonic.
Has solution the same color of the solvent?
no. solution doesn't have the same color of the solvent. for example, if we dissolve salt in water. here salt is solute and water is solvent, so when the mixture prepared, it will not have the same color of water but slightly different color.
