A solution that has more solutes compared to another is described as concentrated. In chemistry, solute refers to the substance that is dissolved in a solvent to form a solution. If we compare two solutions, the one with a higher concentration of solutes (more particles of solute per unit volume of solution) is the more concentrated solution.
For example, if you have a saltwater solution with 10 grams of salt dissolved in 100 milliliters of water and another solution with only 5 grams of salt in 100 milliliters of water, the first solution is more concentrated because it contains more solute (salt) relative to the same amount of solvent (water).
In contrast to this, a solution with fewer solutes is referred to as dilute. The comparison of concentration is often expressed in terms like molarity, which measures the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
