Question

you can make a solution more dilute or more concentrated by changing the amount of solute or solvent. evaluate each of these actions and indicate if they will make the solution more concentrated or more dilute. add more cocoa mix to the hot water more concentrated more dilute mix the sweet tea with unsweet tea more concentrated more dilute add more salt to the saltwater more concentrated more dilute add water to your juice more concentrated more dilute add a whole lemonade packet to half of your water bottle more concentrated more dilute heat up your tea so you can add more sugar more concentrated more dilute let the ice melt in your glass of cola more concentrated more dilute

Explanation:

1. Adding more solute (cocoa mix) to the solvent (hot water) increases the solute - to - solvent ratio, making the solution more concentrated.
2. Mixing sweet tea (with solute) with unsweet tea (less solute) dilutes the sweet tea as the overall solute - to - solvent ratio decreases.
3. Adding more salt (solute) to saltwater increases the solute amount, making it more concentrated.
4. Adding water (solvent) to juice increases the amount of solvent, thus diluting the juice.
5. Adding a whole lemonade packet (solute) to half of a water bottle (less solvent) increases the solute - to - solvent ratio, making it more concentrated.
6. Heating tea to add more sugar (solute) increases the solute amount, making the tea more concentrated.
7. Letting ice (which is water, a solvent) melt in cola increases the amount of solvent, diluting the cola.

Answer:

1. more concentrated
2. more dilute
3. more concentrated
4. more dilute
5. more concentrated
6. more concentrated
7. more dilute
