9.15 Give 3 example of solution and identify the solute and solvent.

Solution concentration

The amount of solute in a given solution is called the concentration of a solution. The

proportion of solute and solvent in solutions are not even. Depending upon the
proportion of solute, a solution can be,

 Dilute solution
 Concentrated solution
  Saturated solution
The terms dilute solution and concentrated solutions are vague as they lack quantitative
preciseness. The main difference between the dilute solution and concentrated solution
is that dilute solution contains less solute and the concentrated solution contains more
solute.

Concentrated solution Dilute solution

A liquid with a high solute concentration is A liquid with a less solute concentration is called a
called a concentrated solution.  dilute solution. 

The solution becomes more concentrated as The dissolved salt from a well in the drinking water is
more solute is applied to a solution a dilute solution. 

There is a significant amount of water in a By adding more water, the concentration of a

concentrated solution. solution can be further decreased and diluted

There are several ways to express the amount of solute present in a solution.
The concentration of a solution is a measure of the amount of solute that has been
dissolved in a given amount of solvent or 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.
Still, concentrated and dilute are useful as terms to compare one solution to another
(see figure below). Also, be aware that the terms "concentrate" and "dilute" can be
used as verbs. If you were to heat a solution, causing the solvent to evaporate, you
would be concentrating it, because the ratio of solute to solvent would be increasing. If
you were to add more water to an aqueous solution, you would be diluting it because
the ratio of solute to solvent would be decreasing.
