Question

Define the following:

Concentrated solution

Answer 1

Solution

• A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances is called a solution.
• It is also called a true solution
• The two main components of the solution are solute and solvent.
• Solute: The component usually presents in lesser of the solution that is dissolved in the solvent is called the solute. it can be a gas, liquid, solid.
• Solvent: The component usually present in the larger quantity of the solution that dissolves the other component in it is called the solvent, it can be a gas, or liquid.

Depending upon the amount of solute present in comparison to solvent, a solution is classified as diluted and concentrated solution

Concentrated solution

• The solution in which the amount of solute is relatively more as compared to the amount of solvent is called concentrated solution.
• A liquid with a high solute concentration is called a concentrated solution.
• There will be a significant amount of water will present.
• Example: Conc. sulphuric acid
