  • Dilution is making a liquid weaker by adding more water or solvent
  • Example: Adding more water to strong lemonade makes it less sour
  • Result: Dilution makes the liquid less intense or strong
  • Concentration is how much stuff is in a liquid, indicating its strength or intensity
  • Example: Putting a lot of sugar in tea makes it sweet due to the concentrated sugar
  • Units for concentration: grams per liter or moles per liter
  • Importance of concentration: Affects taste, appearance, and effectiveness of solutions
  • Dilution vs. Concentration:
    • Dilution weakens a liquid by adding more water
    • Concentration tells us the strength of a solution
    • Dilution and concentration are crucial in cooking, cleaning, medicine, and science
