When two solutions have different osmolarity, the solution with lower osmolarity is called hypoosmotic

<h3>What is osmolarity? </h3>

The term osmolarity defines the total concentration of solute particles present in a particular volume of solution.

If a solution has a high amount of solute particles in one litre of solution, this solution is termed to have high osmolarity. If a solution has a low amount of solute particles per litre of solution, it is said to have low osmolarity.

When comparing two solutions of different osmolarities, the solution with higher osmolarity will be called hypertonic and the solution with lower osmolarity is called hypotonic.

Therefore, the term used to describe a solution of lower osmolarity compared to a solution of higher osmolarity is hypotonic.

Joel notices that there is not much difference between low and high tide. what is happening?

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

This is the spring tide: the highest (and lowest) tide. Spring tides are not named for the season. This is spring in the sense of jump, burst forth, rise. So spring tides bring the most extreme high and low tides every month, and they always happen – every month – around full and new moon.
