Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is to Decrease the concentration of ions (H3O+/OH–) per unit volume.
Key Points
- When an acid or a base is mixed with water decrease the concentration of ions (H3O+/OH–) per unit volume.
- Mixing an acid with water results in a decrease in the concentration of ions per unit volume called dilution.
- Dilution is the process of the addition of solvent, which decreases the concentration of the solute in the solution.
- In both dilution and concentration, the amount of solute stays the same.
- The solute is a substance that is added to a solvent to form a solution.
Additional Information
- A solvent is a substance that dissolves the solute particles during the formation of a solution.
- Concentration is the process of removal of the solvent, which increases the concentration of the solute in the solution.
- Acidification is a process of controlling the growth of undesirable microorganisms, including pathogens.
- The mixing of both an acid and a base is called neutralization.
