If a solution has a larger amount of solute and a smaller amount of solvent, what type of solution is it called?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Concentrated solution
A concentrated solution contains a relatively large amount of solute compared with the amount of solvent or solution. A dilute solution contains relatively less solute. Saturated and unsaturated describe whether the solubility limit has been reached at a specified temperature; they cannot be decided from the given amount comparison alone. Therefore concentrated is correct.
