Dilution Process in Solutions

When a solution is diluted, what remains unchanged?

Answer:

The amount of solvent remains unchanged when a solution is diluted.

When a solution is diluted, the concentration of solute decreases. Dilution is a process of making a less concentrated solution by adding more solvent. The amount of solute remains the same, but the volume of the solution increases, leading to a decrease in solute concentration.

When a solution is diluted, the amount of solvent increases. However, the amount of solute stays the same. Therefore, the concentration of the solution is reduced as more solvent is added.

The decrease in concentration is proportional to the increase in the volume of the solution. As the volume increases, the amount of solvent also increases. So, when a solution is diluted, the amount of solute remains constant while the solvent amount changes proportionally to the volume.
