Understanding Solution Dilution Concepts

The video tutorial covers the concept of dilution in chemistry, explaining that when a solution is diluted, the number of moles of solute remains constant, even though the concentration changes. The tutorial provides a detailed explanation of this principle and demonstrates it through an example problem involving the dilution of a Na2CO3 solution.
