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.
What else can I help you with?
Dilute in a sentence?
I will dilute the gravy by adding the milk and heat.
What does the salt have that makes crystals?
dilute salt in water to form a solution, then evaporate the water and you are left with salt crystals - gamemaster12321
What is a diffence between the solvent and dilute?
A solute is a substance that will dissolve in a solvent to form a solution. For example, in salt water, salt is the solute (as it is dissolved), water is the solvent (as it dissolves the salt), and salt water is the solution. If you add more water to the salt water so you have a lot more water than salt in the solution, you are diluting it. So basically, dilute means that you add water to a solution to make the concentration of the solute lower.
Which more concentrated 5grams of salt in 10 grams of water or 18 grams of salt in 90 grams of water?
5 grams of salt in 10 grams of water is more concentrated (50%) compared to 18 grams of salt in 90 grams of water (20%).
In salt solution salt is called?
Salt dissolved in water is known as a saline solution.
Would you dilute a salt solution that is too concentrated?
yes123456896
What substance should you add to salt water to make it less concentrated?
Add More Salt to make it more concentrated and add more wtaer to make it less concentrated
A semipermeable membrane has an 8 percent salt solution on the left side and a 9 percent on the right side what will most likely occur?
There will be movement of water by osmosis from the less-concentrated solution (left) to the more-concentrated solution (right). Water will tend to flow from a more-dilute state to a less-dilute state.
What effects does salt have on water?
No major effects. The salt water and the water join to become a less concentrated salt solution than the salt water but a more concentrated salt solution than the regular water.
When a fish use their gills to breath they are taking in a solution of?
They are pulling the water they are swimming in across their gills. Therefore, freshwater fish are taking in a very dilute solution of salt water (> 0.9% salt) while saltwater fish are taking in a relatively concentrated solution of salt water (3-5% salt).
Is nitric acid a dilute acid?
Nitric acid can be dilute or concentrated. This is simply a matter of how much of it you have in a given amount of a solution, which is variable.
What is the difference between concentrated and concentration?
the difference between concentrated and dilute is concentrated is larger while dilute is smaller.
Dilute in a sentence?
I will dilute the gravy by adding the milk and heat.
Compare and contrast the properties of dilute and concentrated solutions?
Compare and contrast the properties of dilute and concentrated solutions is because you can dilute you solvent into a solution and then you have a concentrated solution.
What is a meaningful sentence using the words dilute solution?
The chemist prepared a dilute solution by adding water to the concentrated solution.
What is the difference between a dilute solution and concentrated solution?
'Dilute' means LOW and 'Concentrated' means HIGH concentration of solute(s)
Similarities between concentrated solution and dilute solution?
they both have to mix with water
