Chapter 13, Problem 137QGW

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The final concentration of solution of compound X after dilution is to be determined. A detailed diagram of the dilution process is to be drawn and one mole of X with “X” is to be indicated.

Concept Introduction: A solution is made of two components where one is solute and other one is solvent.

Solute is the substance which is present in minor quantity and is generally insolid form.

On the other hand, solvent is the substance present in major amount and in usually a liquid.

Dilution is the process of reducing concentration of solute ina solution byadding more solvent

For the solution containing initial molarity, volume as $M_1,V_1$ and finalmolarity, volume as $M_2,V_2$, the dilution equation is:$M_1{V}_1=M_2{V}_2$
