Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What does it mean to dilute a solution?
A
lower the concentration of solute per solvent
B
increase the concentration of solute per solvent
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dilution is the process of “lowering the concentration of a solute in a solution by simply adding more solvent to the solution, such as water.” Diluting a solution entails adding more solvent without adding more solute.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dilution is the process of decreasing the concentration of a solute in a solution, usually simply by mixing with more solvent like adding more water to the solution. To dilute a solution means to add more solvent without the addition of more solute.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dilutions. When additional water is added to an aqueous solution, the concentration of that solution decreases. This is because the number of moles of the solute does not change, but the total volume of the solution increases.

Detailed explanation-4: –If the solution has more amount of solute which is comparable to solvent, the solution is said to be concentrated solution.-while if the amount of solute is very less as compared to the amount of solvent, the solution is said to be dilute solution.
