What are three types of solutions?
solution
mixture of solute and solvent
Solvent
A liquid substance capable of dissolving other substances
hypertonic solution
A solution in which the concentration of solutes is greater than that of the cell that resides in the solution (most dissolved solute ex: concentrated) (extra strength)
hypotonic solution
A solution in which the concentration of solutes is less than that of the cell that resides in the solution (below strength)
isotonic solution
A solution with the same concentration of water and solutes as inside a cell, resulting in the cell retaining its normal shape because there is no net movement of water. (extra strength or same strength)
solute
A substance that is dissolved in a solution.
concentrated
Describes a solution that has a relatively large amount of dissolved solute
Diffusion
Movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
dilute solution
a solution that contains a small amount of solute and a large amount of solvent
Osmosis
diffusion of H2O through a selectively permeable membrane
dilute
make (a liquid) thinner or weaker by adding water or another solvent to it.
omotic pressure
net moveme bnm,, mknjih A'nt of water into or out of a cell produces a force called osmatic
concentrated solution
one that has an extra amount of dissolved solute
Distilled water
pure H2O The purpose of this is to get rid of chlorine, CaO and CaCO3
