The text is asking why a solution of oleic acid that has been weakened with water is used instead of pure oleic acid. Oleic acid is a type of fatty acid commonly found in animal and vegetable fats and oils. Diluting the solution may be necessary for certain applications to achieve a desired concentration or to prevent adverse effects.
