When there is a very small amount of solute in a solvent, the solution is considered dilute. This means that there is a low concentration of the solute molecules dispersed in the solvent. Dilute solutions are often transparent and have a weaker effect on the properties of the solvent compared to concentrated solutions.
What else can I help you with?
Explain the term concentrated solution and dilute solution?
A solution contains two things. A solute (the thing which is dissolved) and the solvent (the thing it's dissolved into). For example to make salt-water, you dissolve the solute (salt) into the solvent (water). A concentrated solution has a lot of solute, compared to the amount of solvent. There are two ways to concentrate a solution. 1) adding more solute. 2) removing some of the solvent (usually through evaporation). A dilute solution is the opposite, it has very little solute in there. The two ways of diluting a solution are; 1) adding more solvent. 2) removing some of the solute. Most solutions have a point of saturation, where the maximum amount of solute has been added. This is the maximum concentration of the solution.
Does the size of solute affect the dissolving time of any solute?
Yes, the size of the solute particles can affect the dissolving time. Smaller solute particles dissolve faster than larger particles because they have a greater surface area for interaction with the solvent, allowing for quicker dissolution.
What is a solution in which there is only a little solid dissolved in a lot of water?
A solution with lots of solvent and only a little solute is said to be a very weak or very dilute solution. This solution will have a very low concentration of the soluble substance within the solvent. It's just that simple, but we need to add a footnote of sorts. It should be understood that this may or may not have anything to do with the solubility of the solute. Let's look at that so you are prepared for more advanced concepts. If only a little bit of a substance can be dissolved or will dissolve in a solvent, it may be close to saturation though there is only a small amount of a substance actually dissolved in the solvent. When investigating this area of chemistry, this will make more sense when looking deeper into the issues with solvents, solutes and solutions.
What is a mixture that is high in concentration and low in concentration?
A very strong Acid --- or Base-. A pH=7 reading means an equal concentration of H+ and OH-. A pH reading of say 1 shows a very high concentration of H+ with an exceedingly low concentration of OH-.
What is a solution that has very few solute particles dissolved in the solvent?
Concentrated solution. (High density solution) Supersaturated solution if amount of solute is greater than its solubility in the solvent at the given temperature.
What is small amount of solute in volume of a solvent?
This is called a very dilute solution.
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.
Can a solution be both saturated and dilute?
No, a solution cannot be both saturated and dilute at the same time. A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent at a given temperature, while a dilute solution has a relatively small amount of solute dissolved in the solvent.

What is the difference between a dilute solute and a concentrated solution?
If the amount of solute in unit volume of the solution is high, it is called a concentrated solution If the amount of solute in unit volume of the solution is low, it is called dilute solution
What is a solution that only contains a low concentration of solution?
A solution with a low concentration contains a small amount of solute dissolved in a larger amount of solvent. This means there are relatively few solute particles present compared to the solvent. Low concentration solutions are often used for dilution purposes or in very sensitive analytical techniques.
What is the concentration of salt?
This is a very nonspecific question, but concentration is just the amount of solute in a solvent. Typically this is expressed in terms of Molarity.

What are two differences between a dilute solution and a concentrated solution of sugar water?
Dilute solution, a mixture that has only a little solute dissolved in a certain amount of solvent. Concentrated solution-one that has a lot of solute dissolved in the solvent.
How do concentrated and dilute solutions differ from saturated and unsaturated ones?
Nothing more can be added to a saturated solution - the liquid is literally 'full up' with the solute being dissolved, so if you carry on adding the solute, it will not dissolve and the solution will not become any more concentrated. A concentrated solution has a very large amount of the solute in it (there is more solute than solvent), but it has not yet reached the point where no more solute can be dissolved. If you keep adding to it, the solute will dissolve.
What is the effect of nature of solute in stirring?
In solution, the environment around the solute is determined solely by the solvent molecules, which are present closer to the solute. This interaction between solute and solvent shell is very crucial for equilibrium structure and reactivity of the solute.
