dilute and concentrated are comparative terms .explain
Dear Student
Basically the terms dilute and concentrated are used in reference to the amount of a solute that is dissolved in a given quantity of solvent. In dilute solutions, the amount of solute is less while that of solvent is more. On the other hand in concentrated solutions, the amount of solute is more while that of solvent is less.
These are not comparative but relative terms because the exact amount of solute with respect to solvent cannot be determined.
There is no scale, till not invented, which can give the range, to which the solutions can be dilute and concentrated.
Regards
