Adding water dilutes concentrated orange juice. The dilute orange juice is lighter in color. Scientists use the same principle to create dilute solutions in the lab; however, they use equipment that allows them to measure precise volumes so that the exact concentration of the dilute solution can be calculated.
Watch the following video to see how a dilute solution is produced and what equipment is used for measurement.
