A solution that contains a small amount of salt in a large amount of water is said to be a _____ solution.
Answer (2)
It's a saline solution, commonly used in many ways, primarly in chemistry and medicine (i.e. in intravenous therapy, nasal lavage or in biological and chemical experiments), but also for cleaning new piercings or rinsing contact lenses.
A solution with a small amount of salt in a large amount of water is called a dilute solution. In this context, salt (the solute) is mixed with water (the solvent), creating a solution where the concentration of solute is low. Such solutions are important in many applications, particularly in medical and laboratory settings.
