When comparing two solutions the solution with the greater concentration of solutes is called while the solution with the lower Concentra?
In comparing two solutions of unequal solute concentration, the solution with the higher solute concentration is hypertonic, and the solution with the lower solute concentration is hypotonic.
What is it called when the concentration of two solutions is the same?
Isotonic. When the concentration of two solutions is the same.
What is hypertonic isotonic and hypotonic solution?
In comparing two solutions of unequal solute concentration, the solution with the higher solute concentration is hypertonic, and the solution with the lower solute concentration is hypotonic. Solutions of equal solute concentration are isotonic.
Which is the solution with a higher concentration of solutes?
Hypertonic:The solution with the higher concentration of solutes. Hypotonic:The solution with the lower concentration of solutes. In the examples above, Solutions A and B are isotonic (with each other), Solutions A and B are both hypertonic compared to Solution C, and Solution C is hypotonic relative to Solutions A and B.
How is the concentration of a solvent determined?
Concentration is an expression of how much solute is dissolved in a solvent in a chemical solution. There are multiple units of concentration. Which unit you use depends on how you intend to use the chemical solution.
When is the solvent called the solute of a solution?
If both components in a solution are 50%, the term solute can be assigned to either component. When a gaseous or solid material dissolves in a liquid, the gas or solid material is called the solute. When two liquids dissolve in each other, the major component is called the solvent and the minor component is called the solute.
Which is the best definition of the unit of concentration?
Concentration is an expression of how much solute is dissolved in a solvent in a chemical solution. There are multiple units of concentration. Which unit you use depends on how you intend to use the chemical solution. The most common units are molarity, molality, normality, mass percent,…
