Determine if the following solute and solvent will become a diluted or a concentrated solution. SOLVENT SOLUTE SOLUTION 1 glass of water 1 teaspoon of lemon juice DILUTED 1 liter of cold water 2 1-liter packs of powdered orange juice CONCENTRATED 1 cup of hot water ¼ teaspoon instant coffee DILUTED 1 pail of water 2 tablespoons of bleach DILUTED 1/2 cup of hot water 20 black tea bags CONCENTRATED IV. GENERALIZATION: Answer briefly. 1. How will you define a solution’s concentration? 2. When is a solution concentrated? When is it diluted? V. APPLICATION: Why is it that we are discouraged to drink soft drinks all the time? What are the solutes and solvent in soft drinks? Are softdrinks diluted or concentrated solutions?
Concentration Defined. A solution is a homogenous (fine) mixture of a substance (called solute) dissolved in another substance (called solvent). The amount of solute dissolved in a particular amount of the solvent is a crucial parameter and is called the concentration of the solution
A dilute solution is one that has a relatively small amount of dissolved solute.
