Tap water is generally considered a dilute solution because it primarily consists of water with a low concentration of dissolved substances, such as minerals, chlorine, and other contaminants. The concentration of these substances is typically low enough that it does not significantly alter the properties of the water. However, the exact concentration can vary depending on the source and treatment of the water.

How can concentrated solution become a dilute?

A concentrated solution contains a single component (or very very nearly so). A dilute solution contains a large quantity of "contaminant". For instance, a glass of tap water is (for the purpose of this explanation) concentrated H2O. Now take this glass of water, and pour it into a bowl, and fill the bowl with bleach. Now the bowl is roughly 75% bleach, and 25% water, which is a dilute solution of water. Removing the water would produce a concentrated solution of bleach and vice versa.


Is tap water a solution colloid or suspension?

Tap water is a solution because it is a homogenous mixture where the solute (dissolved substances) is evenly distributed in the solvent (water). Unlike colloids or suspensions, the particles in tap water are molecular in size and do not settle out over time.


What happens when you mix tap water and salt water together?

Why does silver nitrate change in appearance after being added with tap water solution?

When silver nitrate is added to a tap water solution, it can form insoluble silver chloride precipitate due to a reaction with chloride ions present in the tap water. This precipitate appears as a white cloudy material, which causes the solution to change in appearance.

How much can you dilute urine for THC test and not raise suspicion?

You can't dilute urine, because the only thing you'd have to dilute it with is tap water, and that would show up on the urinalysis. Urine does not contain H2O. It's been chemically changed by the time it comes out as urine.
