Question

The heat of this process is the leftover background signal once binding is finished in isothermal titration calorimetry. Phase-separated helium isotopes cool a cryogenic refrigerator named for this process. At the infinite limit of this process, a chemical’s activity coefficient reaches a limiting value, its vapor pressure obeys Henry’s law, and its mole fraction approaches (*) zero. An assay standard curve is prepared by performing this process serially in log-fold (10[1])decrements, (10[4])pipetting a stock (10[1])from tube-to-tube. (10[2])This process names the equation (10[3])“C1 (10[1])V1 (10[2])equals C2 V2.” (10[1])Colligative properties (10[1])vanish (10[1])as this general process is done, since it lowers molality. For 10 points, name this decrease in a solution’s (10[1])concentration. (10[3])■END■ (10[14])

ANSWER: dilution [or diluting; or making it more dilute; prompt on increasing volume or decreasing concentration or decreasing molarity]
