Question

Use the PhET simulation to identify what happens to the concentrations of a dilute Drink mix mixture or a pure Drink mix solution for the following scenarios. A pure Drink mix solution can be obtained by draining all the mixture, then adding Drink mix to the container as a Solution (radio button in the upper right area of the simulation). Note that the Concentration meter can be placed toward the bottom of the container or in the stream of the Drink mix. Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins.

Explanation / Answer

INCREASE CONCENTRATION:

- Add drink mix solid to a diluted mixture of drink mix in pure water

- Add drink mix solution to a diluted mixture of drink mix in pure water

- Add drink mix solid to pure drink mix solution

- Evaporate water from a diluted mixture of drink mix in pure water

- Evaporate water from pure drink mix solution

DECREASE CONCENTRATION

- Add water to a diluted mixture of drink mix in pure water

- Add water to pure drink mix solution

DOES NOT AFFECT CONCENTRATION

- Add pure drink mix solution to pure drink mix solution

- Drain the pure drink mix solution

- Drain the diluted mixture of drink mix in pure water
