Chapter U4.80, Problem 2E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The difference between concentration of solution and volume of solution must be explained.

Concept introduction:

Volume of the solution is the quantity of solution. Concentration of solution is the strength of solution.

Answer to Problem 2E

Volume and concentration of solution is inversely proportional to each other.

Explanation of Solution

If volume of solution is increased the concentration of the solution will be decreased.

If the concentration of a solution needs to be increased, then volume of the solution must be decreased by removing some amount of solvent.

The concentartion of solution is calculated as follows:

  $C=\frac{n}{V\left(L\right)}$

Here, n is number of moles of solute and V is volume of solution in L.

Conclusion

Volume and concentration of solution is inversely proportional to each other.
