Solution

Dilute solution and Concentrated solution
Dilute Solution Concentrated Solution
The solution in which the amount of solute is very less when compared to the amount of solvent is called dilute solution The solution in which the amount of solute is relatively more when compared to the amount of solvent is called concentrated solution
It has less solute present in it It has a lot of solute present in it
It can dissolve a lot more solute. It can dissolve a little more solute only
Example: dilute sulphuric acid $H_{2} {SO}_{4} (dil .)$ , dilute nitric acid ${HNO}_{3} (dil .)$ , dilute hydrochloric acid $HCl (dil .)$ , etc Example: concentrated sulphuric acid $H_{2} {SO}_{4} (conc .)$ , concentrated nitric acid ${HNO}_{3} (conc .)$ , concentrated hydrochloric acid $HCl (conc .)$ , etc
