Examples of a concentrated solution
What is a concentrated solution?
A concentrated solution is one that has a relatively large amount of dissolved solute. A dilute solution is one that has a relatively small amount of dissolved solute. However, these terms are relative, and we need to be able to express concentration in a more exact, quantitative manner.
What type of solution is concentrated?
concentrated: a solution that contains a large proportion of solute relative to solvent.
What are 3 examples of a solutions?
3. Solution Examples
- Air is a homogeneous mixture of gases. Here both the solvent and the solute are gases.
- Sugar syrup is a solution where sugar is dissolved in water using heat. Here, water is the solvent and sugar is the solute.
- Tincture of iodine, a mixture of iodine in alcohol.
What is the example of dilute and concentrated?
The difference between both solutions is as follows:
| Dilute solution | Concentrated solution |
|---|---|
| For example, Vinegar, pure lemon juice in water | For example, Conc. Sulphuric acid and Conc, hydrochloric acid. |
