What else can I help you with?
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.
A solution that contains less than the maximum amount of solute is descried as?
Such a solution would be termed "dilute" as opposed to a "concentrated" or "saturated" solution containing either a great amount of solute, or the entire amount of solute possible in a particular solvent.
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
Why do you add more water to saturated solution if it wont dissolve more things?
Adding more water to a saturated solution dilutes the concentration of the solute, which can help to induce some of the dissolved solute to precipitate out of the solution. This process can be helpful in isolating the solute or recovering it in a purer form for further processing.
Do unsaturated solutions have less solute then saturated solutions do?
Yes, unsaturated solutions have less solute dissolved in the solvent compared to saturated solutions. Unsaturated solutions can dissolve more solute, while saturated solutions contain the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a given temperature.
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.
If solution A has more solute and less water than Solution B the solution A is?
Hypertonic compared to solution B, meaning it has a higher solute concentration. Water will tend to move from solution B to solution A in an attempt to equalize the concentration of solute between the two solutions.
How can a solution be made more concerntrated and less concerntrated?
A solution's concentration is a measure of solute/solvent. Solute is the thing to be mixed in (i.e. salt in salt water) and solvent is the medium, usually liquid, for the solute to be mixed in (i.e. the water in salt water). Therefore, increasing the ratio of solute to solvent would increase the concentration. This could be done by adding more solute, or removing the solvent (i.e. going back to the salt water, adding more salt, or evaporating water would increase the concentration) The converse of this is also true to decrease the concentration.
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.
What is a solution that contains less then the maximum solute?
An unsaturated solution is one that contains less solute than the maximum amount it can dissolve at a given temperature. This type of solution has the capacity to dissolve more solute.
What is dilluted solution?
A solution that has a small amount of solute dissolved in it.
A solution that contains less than the maximum amount of solute is descried as?
Such a solution would be termed "dilute" as opposed to a "concentrated" or "saturated" solution containing either a great amount of solute, or the entire amount of solute possible in a particular solvent.
What is unsaturated solute?
such solution which can dissolve more solute at a given temperature is called as unsaturated solution.
What kind of solution contains less solute than its has the capacity to dissolve?
An unsaturated solution contains less solute than its capacity to dissolve. This type of solution can still dissolve more solute if added, as it has not reached its maximum concentration.
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.
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.
