Question

when comparing solutions to determine which way water will move, it is important to take into considerations the concentration of solutes of the two solutions. there are three osmotic solutions: hypertonic - has a higher concentration of solute → hyper = high isotonic - has the same concentration of solute → equal hypotonic - has a lower concentration of solute → hypo = low water will always move from a hypotonic solution to hypertonic solution because solutes suck 15. is the substance dissolved in a solution. 16. a 40% solution of salt is to a 10% solution of salt. 17. a 15% solution of salt is to a 50% solution of salt. 18. a 20% solution of salt is to a 20% solution of salt

Explanation:

• Question 15: A solute is the substance dissolved in a solution.
• Question 16: A 40% salt solution has a higher solute concentration than a 10% salt solution, so it is hypertonic.
• Question 17: A 15% salt solution has a lower solute concentration than a 50% salt solution, so it is hypotonic.
• Question 18: A 20% salt solution has the same solute concentration as another 20% salt solution, so it is isotonic.

Answer:

1. Solute
2. Hypertonic
3. Hypotonic
4. Isotonic
