What is the concentration of a solution in terms of solute per liter of solution?

The molarity of a solution is the number of moles of a solute per liter of its solution.
The normality of a solution is the number of gram equivalent weight of a solute per liter of its solution.
As I said before, and precisely, Molarity is moles of solute per VOLUME of solution!

What is it called when the concentration of a solution defined in terms of moles of solute per liter of solution?
This is a molar concentration.
A measurement of how much solute exists within a certain volume of solvent?
Mass of solute X 100 Mass of solvent
What is the meaning of the term Concentration of a solution?
In general the amount of a solute (the smaller component) in a solvent (the larger component). The higher the concentration the more solute relative to solvent. This can be expressed many ways such as molarity (moles per liter), molalitity (moles per kilogram of solvent), weight percent, volume percent, etc.
What are the differences between a saturated solutionunsaturated solution and a supersaturated solution?
A saturated solution is where there is more solute in a solution than a solvent. A unsaturated solution is where there is more solvent than solute in a solution. And a super saturated solution is when let's say you boil water and put a bunch of sugar crystals in it,it will hold more solute than when it's cooled. So youhave a bunch of crystals in boiled water, then you cool the water down and sometimes the crystals will stay in the solution. Then it becomes supersaturated. Sorry if I'm wrong. :3
Using the terms solute and solvent. describe a concentrated solution?
Yup. A solution contains a solute and a solvent. In the solution Salt Water, salt is the solute and water the solvent. Concentrated solutions are heavy on the solutes; dilute ones heavy on the solvents.
What is it called when the concentration of a solution defined in terms of moles of solute per liter of solution?
This is a molar concentration.
What is definition of formality in terms of chemistry?
A concentration scale that gives the number of formula weights of solute per liter of solution
What terms describes A solution that has a lower solute concentration and a higher water concentration than another solution?
Hypotonic is the term describes a solution that has a lower solute concentration and higher water concentration than another solution Hypertonic describes a solution with a higher solute concentration compared with another solution.
What is the difference between relative concentration and precise concentration?
Relative concentration gives you a comparison of two or more solutions, telling you which has a higher concentration of some solute than the other. Precise concentration would normally be expressed in terms of moles per liter, and it tells you the actual amount of a solute that is present in a given volume of solution.
What is the difference between a dilute solution and concentrated solution?
'Dilute' means LOW and 'Concentrated' means HIGH concentration of solute(s)
Explain why it is not enough just to say that a solution is hypertonic?
hypertonic and hypotonic are relative terms. A solution that is hypertonic to tap H2O could be hypotonic to seawater. In using these terms, you must provide a comparison, as in 'the solution is hypertonic to the cells cytoplasm'.
What is the Relationship solute concentration solvent concentration in osmosis?
In any situation, the more concentrated a solution is in terms of solute, the less concentrated it is in terms of solvent. This is important in osmosis as you have to be careful which way round you express things, because it is water which moves from where there is a lot of it to where there is less. Thus you have to understand that if you have a high concentration of sugar, you have a lower concentration of water.
A measurement of how much solute exists within a certain volume of solvent?
Mass of solute X 100 Mass of solvent
What is the difference between osmosis and diffusion in terms of solute and solvent?
Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a solution with a high solute concentration, down a solute concentration gradient. Diffusion is a spontaneous movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. (ex. tea flavoring moving from an area of high to low concentration in hot water.)
What is the amount of solute dissolved in a given amount of solvent?
This is known as the concentration or more technically the molarity or molality of the solution.
What is the meaning of the term Concentration of a solution?

This can be expressed many ways such as molarity (moles per liter), molalitity (moles per kilogram of solvent), weight percent, volume percent, etc.
What type of solution will cause water to move into a cell?
The terms associated with this phenomenon can be quite difficult to get the grasp of for some reason or another to all students. The best way I can describe this is by starting with the solution. By definition of a solution you have a solute and a solvent. The solute is the substance with the lesser concentration. ( e.g. if you have a solution of Salt Water The NaCl (table salt) is dissolved into the H2O( water) since the Salt is being dissolved it is the solute. If you have 2 solutions of salt water Solution A : 10% salt; 90% Water Solution B : 30% salt and 70% water. The two solutions are obiviouslty not equal in proprtion (if they were they would be Isotonic [ equal concentration amounts of water in both solutions]) A Hypertonic Solution Means that it has a higher concentration of solute then the solution in comparison. in this case the solution B would be hypertonic to Solution A. This because the Solute concentration is higher in B than A. Solution B is the hypotonic to solution A because it has a lower concentration of solute. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration so since Solution B has a lower concentration of water Solution A will pass water into it going from hypotonic to hypertonic.
