Which statement is generally true during dilution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Moles of solute remain the same
In ordinary dilution, only solvent is added to a fixed quantity of solution. No solute is added or removed, so the number of solute moles remains constant. The volume increases and concentration falls. This is why the dilution relation M₁V₁ = M₂V₂ can be used, provided the same solute is involved and volumes are measured consistently.
