Understanding Solution Concentration and Dilution

Front

What is the purpose of using the dilution equation?

Back

To calculate the needed volume of stock solution.

Front

What role does water play in the dilution process?

Back

It serves as the primary solvent.

Front

How can students verify their calculations in the classroom?

Back

By teacher confirmation.

Front

What does the same color of solutions indicate about their molarity?

Back

Same molarity.

Front

What does the term 'molarity' refer to in chemistry?

Back

The concentration of a solution.

Front

What is the formula for calculating molarity?

Back

Molarity (M) = moles of solute / liters of solution.

Front

What is a stock solution?

Back

A concentrated solution that can be diluted to a lower concentration.

Front

What is the effect of dilution on the concentration of a solution?

Back

Dilution decreases the concentration of the solute.

Front

What is the relationship between volume and concentration in dilution?

Back

As volume increases, concentration decreases, and vice versa.

Front

What is a solute?

Back

A substance that is dissolved in a solvent to form a solution.
