Question

Which option is a dilute solution?

1.a solution with 0% solute and 100% solvent

2.a solution with 90% solute and 10% solvent

3.a solution with 10% solute and 90% solvent

4.a solution with 50% solute and 50% solvent

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is no 3

a solution with 10% solute and 90% solvent

Answer 2

A solution with 10% solute and 90% solvent

Option (3) is correct.

Explanation:

• In the dilution process, the concentration of a solute in a solution is decreased to make it a dilute solution.
• To dilute a solution means to add more solvent in it to make it less concentrated.
• In a dilute solution, the quantity of solvent is more than the solute.
• For example in a glass full of water and one tablespoon sugar means it is a dilute solution of sugar.
