Final answer:
Dilution is the process of reducing the concentration of a solute in a solution by adding more solvent. The new concentration after dilution can be calculated using the initial concentration and the final volume of the solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking about an aqueous solution containing 6.27g of an optically-pure compound that was diluted. Dilution is the process of reducing the concentration of a solute in a solution by adding more solvent.
When a solution is diluted, the amount of solute remains the same but the total volume of the solution increases. This leads to a decrease in the concentration of the solution.
In order to calculate the new concentration after dilution, you need to know the initial concentration and the final volume of the solution.
