Model 3
The Model: Dilution
Process of dilution:
add solvent
to conc. soln.
хх
"concentrated"
solution of solute X
pure solvent
"dilute" solution
of solute X
(X's are in motion.)
(X's are in motion.)
dilution formula:
Maital Vinitial"Minal Viul
(or Mi V1 = M, V3)
1) When a solution is diluted, additional solvent is added to the more concentrated solution. How
does the amount of solute in the initial (concentrated) solution compare to the amount of
solute in the final (dilute) solution?
2) By referring to the model, justify the dilution formula. Explain why the product of the solution's
initial concentration (molarity) and initial volume is equal to the product of the solution's final
concentration and final volume.
