Why is the term dilute not a precise way to describe concentration?

Concentrated solutions have high amounts of the solute (i.e 8 molar HCl in water) as opposed to a dilute version may have very little of the solute and be mainly water (i.e. 0.1 Molar HCl in water).

∙ 9y agoThe term dilute is not precise because it does not indicate what is the concentration of the solution. It does not tell how much water is diluted in the compound.

What is a term that refers to the concentration of an acid or base?
Is dilute considered as a colloid or a suspension
What is the amount of solute that dissolves in a given amount of a solution?
This term is concentration, expressed in g/l, mol/L, mg/L, etc.
What is more worst. concentrated acid or dilute acid or acid?
Concentrated acid is generally more harmful than dilute acid. This is because concentrated acid contains a higher concentration of acid molecules, which can cause more severe burns or damage to tissues upon contact. Dilute acid, on the other hand, has a lower concentration of acid molecules and is therefore less harmful. Acid, as a general term, can encompass both concentrated and dilute forms and its harmfulness would depend on its concentration.
What is the term used to describe a solution that has a lower concentration of solutes compared to another solution?
Lower concentration of solute is known as the hypotonic solution. The solution with a higher concentration of solute is the hypertonic solution. One with equal solute in solution and whatever its being compared with is known as the isotonic solution.
Which term defines an acid?
One term that defines an acid is that it has high concentration of H+ (Hydrogen ions). Another term that defines an acid is that it has a high concentration.
Why the term dilute is not precise?
The term "dilute" is not precise because there are many degrees of dilution. A 2% solution is dilute, but so is a 5 % solution.

dilute
What is the term used to describe a solution mostly formed of water?
Dilute?
What does the term 'dilute' mean?
Dilute solution means, you are adding some additional solvent and decreasing the concentration of the solute .
What term is used by chemist to quantitatively describe a solution in which a relatively small amount of solute is dissolve?
Dilute
Scientific term for weak solution?
Dilute

What is the scientific term for precise information provided by numerical data?
"precise information provided by numerical data" is the scientific term
What is the relation between boy and girl if the girls father in law is the father of boys father in law?
I would describe those two as siblings in law. It's not a precise description, but then, not every relationship has a term of its own to precisely describe it.
