An unknown amount of water is added to 75 mL of a 3.5 M aqueous glucose solution. What can be said about the concentration of the resulting solution?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adding water to a solution dilutes it, which means the concentration of the solute (in this case, glucose) decreases. Since the amount of glucose remains constant while the volume of the solution increases, the concentration of glucose in the solution will be less than 3.5 M.
