Simple dilution is the process of reducing the concentration of a solution by adding more solvent. For example, if you have a glass of orange juice and you add water, the juice becomes less concentrated, making it taste milder. This method is commonly used in cooking, chemistry, and various industries to achieve desired concentrations. In a laboratory setting, simple dilution is often calculated using the formula C1V1 = C2V2, where C1 and V1 are the concentration and volume of the original solution, and C2 and V2 are the concentration and volume after dilution. This ensures accurate and consistent results in experiments involving solutions.
