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.
Do the volume of the material stays constant when a solution is diluted?
Usually not, but you can add more solvent and remove a compensating volume of the solute. This is easest if it is a liquid-in-liquid or a gas-in-gas solution.
What do you add to solvent to make a solution?
To make a solution you add a solute to a solvent.
How do you make dilute solution more concentrated?
You add more solvent.
How will you make standard solution?
mix a solute and solvent together and it will make a solution Increase the surface area of the solute with a mortar and pestle. Next measure out the mass of the solute. Add water and increase the temperature and use a magnetic stirrer. Do not fill to the necesary volume. Do not use a graduated cylinder instead use a volumetric flask. Pour solution into the flask. First measure the mass of the flask. rinse the beaker in which the solution was in. add more water to flask and fill to the needed volume. Then find the mass of solution.
To increase the concentration of a solution?
In order to increase the concentration of a solution, you must add more solute or remove some solvent. You can remove solvent through evaporation.

What is the three-step process for making a solution?
1. Weighing the solute2. Measure the volume of solvent3. Add the solute to solvent
What do you get when you add a solvent and solute?
Solution
What do you add to solvent to make a solution?
To make a solution you add a solute to a solvent.
How are solution made?
You add a solute to a solution until the solution will not dissolve any more of the solute and additional solute just settles to the bottom of the solution. At this point the solution is saturated.
What is the percentage of volume?
Volume percent (v/v %) is defined as: volume percent = [(volume of solute) / (volume of solution)] x 100% Volume percent is handy when preparing solutions of liquids. Concentration of a solution can be stated in volume percentages. Be aware that volume of solution is in formula denominator, not volume of solvent. Thus to get 10% v/v solution of ethanol in water you can take 10 ml of ethanol and add enough water to have total 100 ml of resulting solution. It is worth to mention volumes of solute and solvent cannot be simply added to get volume of solution. For instance if you add 10 ml of ethanol to 90 ml of water the volume of the solution will be less than 100 ml.
If more solvent is added to a solution?
Adding solvent will make a solution more diluted. Think of it this way. Take water (solvent) and dissolve salt into it (solute). In order to dilute or increase the ratio of solvent to solute, you would add more water.
How do you make dilute solution more concentrated?
You add more solvent.
How will you make standard solution?
mix a solute and solvent together and it will make a solution Increase the surface area of the solute with a mortar and pestle. Next measure out the mass of the solute.

First measure the mass of the flask. rinse the beaker in which the solution was in. add more water to flask and fill to the needed volume. Then find the mass of solution.
Is the concentration change after you add water to solution?
Adding more solute to a solution will increase its concentration. Adding more solvent will only dilute it. Think of salt water. The salt is the solute, and water is the solvent. Add salt and it becomes a more concentrated solution. Add more water, and it is more dilute. Simple and easy once you think it through.
