(a) Concentrated solution
Interpretation:
A concentrated solution contains a relatively large amount of solute.
Concept Introduction:
A solution is a heterogeneous mixture of two or more components. The solution is further divided into two components namely- solute and solvent. Solute is the minor constituent of the solution whereas the solvent is the major constituent. There is no visible layer of separation between the components of solution since the since the size of the solute particles is between 1-100nm.
E.g. sugar solution, the sugar added to water is solute and water is the solvent.
Some solutions have a high concentration of solute while some have low concentration. Since the amount of substance is comparable to the other hence, the solutions thus prepared are also comparable.
The relative terms used for them are concentrated and dilute.
A concentrated solution has more amount of solute dissolved in it as compared to the dilute solution.
(b) Dilute Solution
Interpretation:
A Dilute solution contains a relatively less amount of solute.
Concept Introduction:
There are two relative terms - dilute and concentrated. These two terms do not provide any quantitative information - but they are often useful in comparing the solutions. It just tells which solution has lesss amount of solute in comparison to the other.
(c) Soluble
Interpretation:
The term soluble implies a solute is fairly soluble in a solvent.
Concept Introduction:
Solubility is defined as the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in 100 g of solvent at a certain temperature to obtain a saturated solution. A saturated solution is a solution that has attained equilibrium and no further solute can be dissolved in the solution.
(d) Insoluble
Interpretation:
The term insoluble implies a solute is poorly soluble in a solvent.
Concept Introduction:
Solubility is defined as the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in 100 g of solvent at a certain temperature to obtain a saturated solution. A saturated solution is a solution that has attained equilibrium and no further solute can be dissolved in the solution.
If a solute does not dissolves completely in a particular solvent in any ratios, then the solute is said to be insoluble in that particular solvent.

- The emission data in cps displayed in Table 1 is reported to two decimal places by the chemist. However, the instrument output is shown in Table 2. Table 2. Iron emission from ICP-AES Sample Blank Standard Emission, cps 579.503252562 9308340.13122 Unknown Sample 343.232365741 Did the chemist make the correct choice in how they choose to display the data up in Table 1? Choose the best explanation from the choices below. No. Since the instrument calculates 12 digits for all values, they should all be kept and not truncated. Doing so would eliminate significant information. No. Since the instrument calculates 5 decimal places for the standard, all of the values should be limited to the same number. The other decimal places are not significant for the blank and unknown sample. Yes. The way Saman made the standards was limited by the 250-mL volumetric flask. This glassware can report values to 2 decimal places, and this establishes our number of significant figures. Yes.
