What is the process of decreasing the concentration of a solution called?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Dilution
Dilution is the process of lowering concentration, usually by adding more solvent to a solution. The amount of solute normally remains unchanged, but the total volume increases, so the same solute is distributed through a larger volume. Boiling, freezing, and filtration are different physical operations and do not define this process.
