1. dilution

   Dilution is a process that reduces the concentration of a substance in a solution or mixture, often achieved by adding more of the diluent, typically a solvent like water. The resulting solution contains less of the original substance per unit volume, but the overall quantity remains the same. It is commonly used in chemistry, biology, pharmaceuticals, environmental science, and various industries to adjust substance concentration to desired levels.

1. Dilution

   Dilution is a reduction in the concentration of a chemical. It is the process of reducing the concentration of a solute in solution, usually simply by mixing with more solvent. To dilute a solution means to add more solvent without the addition of more solute. The resulting solution is thoroughly mixed so as to ensure that all parts of the solution are identical. The same direct relationship applies to gases and vapors diluted in air for example. Although, thorough mixing of gases and vapors may not be as easily accomplished. For example, if there are 10 grams of salt dissolved in 1 litre of water, this solution has a certain salt concentration/molarity. If one adds 1 litre of water to this solution the salt concentration is reduced. The diluted solution still contains 10 grams of salt/. Mathematically this relationship can be shown in the equation: Where:
