Question

  1. what happens to concentration if you add more water to a sugary drink?

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Concentration is defined as the amount of solute (sugar) per unit volume of solution (sugary drink + water). When more water (solvent) is added, the amount of solute (sugar) remains the same, but the total volume of the solution increases. Using the formula for concentration \( C=\frac{n}{V} \) (where \( n \) is the amount of solute and \( V \) is the volume of the solution), if \( n \) is constant and \( V \) increases, the concentration \( C \) will decrease. So adding more water dilutes the sugary drink, reducing the concentration of sugar in the solution.

Answer:

When more water is added to a sugary drink, the concentration of the sugar (solute) in the drink (solution) decreases (the drink becomes more diluted).
