What are Dilutors and How Do They Work?

Dilutors are substances that decrease the concentration of a solute in a solution. In other words, they dilute the solution by adding more solvent to it.

For example, if you have a concentrated solution of sugar in water, and you add more water to it, the solution becomes less concentrated because the amount of solute (sugar) has been diluted by the addition of more solvent (water). The resulting solution is said to be diluted because there is now more solvent than solute present.

Dilutors can be either liquids or gases, depending on the context in which they are used. For example, when a concentrated acid solution is diluted with water, the dilutor is typically a liquid (such as water). However, when a gas is added to a solution to dilute it, the dilutor is a gas (such as nitrogen or air).

In summary, dilutors are substances that decrease the concentration of a solute in a solution by adding more solvent.
