What term is used by chemist to quantitatively describe a solution in which a relatively small amount of solute is dissolve?
Dilute
Why the term dilute is not precise?
The term "dilute" is not precise because it does not provide specific information about the degree of concentration of a substance in a solution. It can vary depending on context and can be subjective, potentially leading to confusion or misinterpretation in scientific experiments or formulations. Instead, using quantitative measures like molarity or percentage concentration can provide a more accurate description of the solution's composition.
What is the symbol of dilute sulphuric acid?
H2SO4(dilute)
What is the difference betwee dilute to and dilute with?
Dilute is where you weaken something .e.g. the chemical will be less strong. Think of it as when you make squash you have to add water to dilute it so the taste isn't as strong. Dissolve is where a chemical completely disappears from the eye. Like when you add sugar to tea you can't see it but actually it has dissolved into the tea to make it sweeter.
Is a strong acid safe as long as it's a dilute solution?
A strong acid can still be harmful even in dilute solutions. While dilution decreases the concentration of the acid, it doesn't eliminate its corrosive properties. Proper precautions should still be taken when handling strong acids, regardless of their concentration.
