During the process of diluting a solution to a lower concentration,
A)the volume of the solution does not change.
B)the amount of solvent does not change.
C)water is removed from the concentrated solution.
D)there is more solute in the concentrated solution.
E)the amount of solute does not change.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a solution is diluted, the amount of solute remains the same but the volume of the solution increases due to the addition of more solvent (usually water). Therefore, options A, B, and C are incorrect as they imply a change in the volume or amount of solvent. Option D is incorrect as the concentration of the solution is decreasing, not increasing. The correct answer is E, as the amount of solute remains constant during the process of dilution.
