Question

2. If you add water to dilute a solution, what happens to the molarity of the compound in the

solution? Explain

Answer 1

Each solution has a molaritu, which is equal to the number of moles of a solvent per liter of solutions. When you add water to a solution, the number of moles of the solvent stays the same while the volume increases. Therefore, the molarity decreases; the solution is diluted.
