Concentrations & Dilutions Flashcard

Front

What is concentration in a solution?

Back

The amount of solute dissolved in a given amount of solvent.

Front

What is a concentrated solution?

Back

A solution that has a large amount of solute in a small volume of solvent.

Front

What does a high concentration indicate?

Back

A high amount of solute to solvent.

Front

What does it mean to dilute a solution?

Back

To lower the concentration of solute per solvent.

Front

How can you make a solution more concentrated?

Back

By adding more solute.

Front

What is a saturated solution?

Back

A solution that cannot dissolve any more solute at a given temperature.

Front

What is a supersaturated solution?

Back

A solution that contains more solute than can normally dissolve at a given temperature.

Front

What is the formula for concentration?

Back

Concentration = Amount of solute / Volume of solvent.

Front

What happens when you add solvent to a concentrated solution?

Back

The concentration decreases.

Front

What is the difference between solute and solvent?

Back

Solute is the substance being dissolved, while solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute.
