question
in the dilution equation, which of the following can be expressed in different units, provided the same units are used on both sides of the equation?
select the correct answer below:
amount of solute
density
volume
none of the above

Explanation:

The dilution equation is \(C_1V_1 = C_2V_2\) (where \(C\) is concentration and \(V\) is volume). Volume (\(V\)) can be expressed in different units (e.g., liters, milliliters) as long as the same unit is used on both sides of the equation. Amount of solute (related to concentration and volume in a more complex way not just unit - changeable in this simple sense for the equation), and density is not part of the basic dilution equation \(C_1V_1 = C_2V_2\).

Answer:

volume
