Question

What is dilution ?Is it exothermic or endothermic. What are the precautions to be taken while doing dilution ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Dilution is the process of decreasing the concentration of a solute in a solution, usually simply by mixing with more solvent like adding more water to the solution.

Answer 2

Answer:

What is dilution ?

Dilution is the process of decreasing the concentration of a solute in a solution, usually simply by mixing with more solvent like adding more water to the solution. To dilute a solution means to add more solvent without the addition of more solute.

Is it exothermic or endothermic.

Dilution of acid is exothermic reaction. Water should never be added to acid but acid can be added to water for dilution.

What are the precautions to be taken while doing dilution ?

When diluting acids, pour the acid into the water, NOT water into acid as this may cause spattering of the acid. When acid is mixed with another reagent, an exothermic reaction may occur which heats up the container, This is natural, so do not panic and spill contents.
