True or False: You can make a concentrated solution more dilute by adding solvent.

Vlad [161]

That statement is true because to make a diluted solution, you have to add more solvent than the solute in a concentrated solution. This is extra information, but to make a diluted solution more concentrated, you have to add more solute since a concentrated solution has an excess amount of solute as stated before.

At room temperature (208C) and pressure, the density of air is 1.189 g/L. An object will float in air if its density is less tha

Total density of filled ball with nitrogen gas: $\frac{0.12G+0.6524g}{0.560L} = 1.3792g/L$

The relationship between mass and volume can be easily determined using density; for example, the mass of a body is equal to its volume multiplied by the density (M = Vd), whereas the volume is equal to the mass divided by the density (V = M/d). The ball filled with nitrogen will not float in the air because total density of filled ball is greater than the density of an air. Density of the evacuated ball D = 0.214 g/L

Density of nitrogen gas = $d_4=1.165g/L$
