Dilution and MolarityMr. ChapmanChemistry 30
A concentrated solution – contains a relatively large amount of solute
A dilute solution – contains a relatively small amount of solute
Dilution – the process of decreasing the concentration of a solution by adding solvent.
Some Important Definitions...
Imagine this concentrated salt solution on the left... It’s concentration isC1 = n/V1
Suppose we diluted it by adding a bunch of water to it... It’s concentration is now C2 = n/V2
Concentration and Dilution
What should you notice that’s important here?
The Number of Moles in Each are EQUAL!!!
Number of moles in this one... Equals number of moles in this one...
From here we can derive the dilution equation:
Remember that n = moles!
n = C1V1 n = C2V2
C1V1 = C2V2The Dilution Equation
The Dilution Equation
V1 AND V2 NEED SAME UNITS!
