Chapter 14, Problem 64A

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Factors that are responsible in creating a dilute solution from a concentrated solution needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Dilution is the process of decreasing the concentration of higher concentration solution by adding more solvent to the solution. The solvent which is added to dilute, is usually water. When you add more solvent, the solution becomes more diluted.

In dilution, the amount of solute does not change, the number of moles of solute are the same before and after dilution.

The equation for dilution is ${\mathrm{M}}_1{V}_1=M_2{V}_2$

M₁ = molarity of the concentrated solution V₁ = volume of concentrated solution

M₂ = molarity of the diluted solution V₂ = volume of diluted solution

Answer to Problem 64A

Molarity and volume terms in both the solution (concentrated and dilute)are main factors that responsible in creating a dilute solution from a concentrated solution.

The equation for dilution is ${\mathrm{M}}_1{V}_1=M_2{V}_2$

M₁ = molarity of the concentrated solution V₁ = volume of concentrated solution

M₂ = molarity of the diluted solution V₂ = volume of diluted solution

From the dilution equation, we see only two terms that one is molarity and another is volume. These molarityand volume terms in both the solution (concentrated and dilute)are main factors that responsible in creating a dilute solution from a concentrated solution.

Explanation of Solution

The equation for dilution is ${\mathrm{M}}_1{V}_1=M_2{V}_2$

M₁ = molarity of the concentrated solution V₁ = volume of concentrated solution

M₂ = molarity of the diluted solution V₂ = volume of diluted solution

From the dilution equation, we see only two terms that one is molarity and another is volume. These molarityand volume terms in both the solution (concentrated and dilute)are main factors that responsible in creating a dilute solution from a concentrated solution.
