Solution

To determine whether a solution is more dilute or more concentrated, we need to consider the ratio of solute (in this case, gelatine) to solvent (in this case, apple juice).

  1. First, we need to understand the terms. A concentrated solution has a large amount of solute compared to the solvent. A dilute solution has a small amount of solute compared to the solvent.

  2. In this case, we have 6 teaspoons of gelatine (the solute) and 400 mL of apple juice (the solvent).

  3. Without a point of comparison, it's difficult to definitively say whether this solution is more dilute or more concentrated.

  4. However, if we were to compare it to a solution with the same volume of apple juice but only 3 teaspoons of gelatine, then this solution would be more concentrated.

  5. Conversely, if we compared it to a solution with the same volume of apple juice but 12 teaspoons of gelatine, then this solution would be more dilute.

  6. So, the concentration or dilution of the solution depends on the amount of gelatine in relation to the amount of apple juice.

  7. In conclusion, without a point of comparison, we can't definitively say whether the solution of 6 teaspoons of gelatine in 400 mL of apple juice is more dilute or more concentrated.
