Concentration Changes
Definition
Concentration changes refer to variations in the amount of substance per unit volume in a solution or mixture during a chemical process.
Analogy
Imagine making lemonade. The more lemons and sugar you add into water (increasing their concentrations), stronger will be your lemonade. If you dilute it with more water (decreasing their concentrations), it becomes weaker.
