What Is Heart Ablation? Heart ablation, or cardiac ablation, is a surgical procedure that is used to correct abnormal heart rhythms. Catheter tubes are used to correct structural heart problems that prevent normal heart rhythms. Malfunctioning heart tissue is scarred or destroyed.
By Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D. Dilute Definition: a solution containing a relatively small quantity of solute as compared with the amount of solvent. This term is the opposite of 'concentrated'.
Solute is just a few letters short of solution, a substance that is dissolved in liquid. In science classes, a solute might be part of your experiment. Pronounced SAHL-yoot, the noun solute has close word relatives in dissolve, soluble, and solid â all of which are rooted in the Latin word solvere, meaning to loosen. A solute changes state when it is dissolved. In sugar water, the solute is the sugar because it changes from solid to liquid. The water is not a solute.
