To dilute a solution you either have to ____ solvent or ____ the amount of solute.

Chemistry
1 answer:
AfilCa [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Add, reduce

Explanation:

Concentration is essentially a ratio of the amount of solute to the amount of solvent.

\text{Concentration} = \dfrac{\text{amount of solute}}{\text{amount of solvent}}

If you want to make a solution more dilute (less concentrated), you must do one of two things:

  1. Increase the denominator — add solvent
  2. Reduce the denominator — reduce the amount of solute

A is wrong. If you add both more solute and more solvent, the concentration will stay about the same.

B is wrong. If you add more solute and reduce the amount of solvent, the concentration will increase.

D is wrong. If you add more solute and do nothing to the amount of solvent, the concentration will increase.

Why do we use an object's mass, rather than its weight, to indicate the amount of matter it contains?
aleksklad [387]
Because mass doesn't changed based on location and scientists rely on a property that is constant no matter where the object may be.

Add curved arrows to both resonance structures of nitromethane to show the delocalization of electron pairs. A curved arrow star
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

As it is possible to observe in the drawing of the resonance structure of nitromethane, both oxygen atoms have the same negative charge.

Explanation:

A resonance structure is the molecular bonding system in which a hybrid, called a resonance, is formed from two or more Lewis structures that have different electronic distributions.

The resonance effect is given by the delocalization of electrons, which are not at a fixed point but are distributed homogeneously in the molecule as we can see in the nitromethane, providing stability. So the more resonance structures the molecule has, the more stable it will be.
