What is infinite dilute solution?
Infinite dilution means such a large dilution so that when you add more solvent there is no change in concentration.
How can you change concentration?
To increase the concentration of a solution, you can decrease the amount of solvent by boiling off, or by evaporation, or you can simply add more solute. Conversely, to decrease the concentration, you can add more solvent.
What does dilution mean in chemistry?
It is a process in which Hydrogen <h2> concentration is reduced by adding H2O. Dilution is exothermic reaction as it produce heat.
Why moles solute before dilution equals moles solute after dilution?
This assumes you are using water (or whatever the original solvent is) to do the dilution so you are not adding more solute, only more solvent,
What does dilution and concentration mean?
Dilute it when there isn't much solute in the solution. So there is a lot of solvent. Concentrated mean there is a lot of solute in the solution.
When more solvent is added to a solution to decrease its concentration it is called?
When more solvent is added to a solution to decrease it's concentration the action is known as dilution.

What are two ways you can decrease the concentration of a solution?
Well, a solution is made of a solute dissolved into a solvent, so you could decrease the concentration either by adding more solvent ("watering it down") or removing some solute.
How can you increase the concentration of a solution without changing the amount of solvent?
by the addition of more solute.
What is sequential dilution?
In a sequential solution different volumes of a stock solution is added to varying volumes of solvent to create new solutions of specific concentration. Mostly use to create lower concentration of solutions.
Why moles solute before dilution equals moles solute after dilution?
This assumes you are using water (or whatever the original solvent is) to do the dilution so you are not adding more solute, only more solvent,
What is the formula used to calculate dilution ratios?
A dilution ratio is normally used for a mixture of two fluids: an active component and a carrier solvent. The dilution ratio is the ratio of the volume of the solvent to the volume of the active component.
What do you need to do to a concentrated solution to make it weaker?
You can dilute it by adding more solvent. Many solutions are in water. Therefore, adding more water will decrease the concentration. C = n/v Concentration is inversely proportional to volume and directly proportional to the amount of solute. An increase in volume or a decrease in the amount of solute, will decrease concentration.
What does dilution and concentration mean?
Dilute it when there isn't much solute in the solution. So there is a lot of solvent. Concentrated mean there is a lot of solute in the solution.
Definition of dilution and dilution factor?
In chemistry and biology, the dilution factor is the total number of unit volumes in which the material is dissolved. As I understand it, the dilution refers to the dilution ratio. If you add 1 part of something to 4 parts of something else, the dilution ratio is 1 to 4. The dilution factor counts all the parts and expresses the same thing as 1 out of 5.
