Diluted solution is a solution with a low solute content. Note that the diluted solution is not always unsaturated - for example, a saturated 0.0000134M solution of practically insoluble silver chloride is very diluted. The boundary between dilute and concentrated solutions is very arbitrary.
In physical chemistry, an important role is played by the concept of an extremely dilute solution , that is, a solution in which the molecules of the dissolved substance do not interact, and after the addition of an infinitesimal amount of the dissolved substance, interaction occurs. In such a solution, the solvent obeys the laws of behavior of ideal solutions , and the dissolved substance does not obey. In particular, Raoul’s law does not apply to a dissolved substance in an extremely dilute solution, and the vapor pressure above the solution can be described by Henry’s law :
Where - vapor pressure of the solute, - molar fraction of it, - Henry's constant.
