When the concentration of two solutes is the same?
Chapter 7 Vocabulary Practice
| A | B |
|---|---|
| isotonic | when the concentration of two solutions is the same |
| hypertonic | when comparing two solutions, the solution with the greater concentration of solutes |
| hypotonic | when comparing two solutions, the solution with the lesser concentration of solutes |
How do can you compare two solutions to see which is more concentrated?
when comparing two solutions, the solution with the greater concentration of solutes. Remember “hyper” means “high” so, hypertonic is “high solute.” So if a solution is hypertonic, it will pull water out of a cell, shrinking the cell. when comparing two solutions, the solution with the lesser concentration of solutes.
How do you determine the concentration of a solution?
Concentration is determined mathematically by taking the mass, moles, or volume of solute and dividing it by the mass, moles, or volume of the solution (or less commonly, the solvent).
What is the formula for calculating concentration?
In chemistry, a solution’s concentration is how much of a dissolvable substance, known as a solute, is mixed with another substance, called the solvent. The standard formula is C = m/V, where C is the concentration, m is the mass of the solute dissolved, and V is the total volume of the solution.
How do you find concentration from molarity?
The molar concentration of a solution is the number of moles of solute divided by the liters of water of the solution . You measure molar concentration in moles per liter. One mole of solute in one liter of water gives a concentration of 1 M.
How to find the solute?
There are several ways to determine the amount of solute in a solution. One method is using molarity (most often method used in chemistry). The equation for molarity is: Molarity = moles of solute/liters of solution.
