Vocabulary Dilution Concentrated Solute Solvent solution solutions ppm
Solution = Solute + Solvent One of them is called the solute. A solute is the substance to be dissolved (sugar). The other is a solvent. The solvent is the one doing the dissolving (water). As a rule of thumb, there is usually more solvent than solute.
Dilute To make thinner or less concentrated by adding a liquid such as water

Which is more concentrated? (more solute)
How could you increase the concentration of a solution?
. To concentrate a solution, one must add more solute (for example, alcohol), or reduce the amount of solvent (for example, water). By contrast, to dilute a solution, one must add more solvent, or reduce the amount of solute.solutesolvent
What does 10% concentration of food dye mean?
