Interpretation:
The factor that decreases the concentration of salt solution needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
The equation of dilution is given as,
Where,
Answer to Problem 30A
Correct answer: A. Add water to the solution.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option:
The molarity equation of the diluted solution is,
In the dilution process, due to the addition of the extra water to the salt solutions, the total volume of the solutions is increased but the number of moles of solute is remains the same in the solution.
Reason for incorrect options;
For B: No, due to the sink drain, the volume of the solution is decreased concentration does not get affected.
For C: Volume and number of moles both increases due to the addition of more sodium chloride.
For D: No, if the salt solution is kept open in the air, water gets evaporated and solution becomes even more concentrated.
For E: No. Only option A is correct.
