Do try to do the short question I asked at the end about common salt.

It is meant to help develop your understanding.

What happens if VforwardVrevers??

Then the reaction has not yet reached equilibrium. Equilibrium is when the forward and reverse reactions are in balance, i.e. the rates are the same.

How can water be diluted?

How can water be diluted?

A solution is a mixture of two or more substances.

Just to consider two, A and B    -   alcohol and water or  salt and water.

The mixture contains a certain % of A and (100 - %A) of B

Adding (pure) A or B to the mixture will increase the concentration of A or B, decreasing or diluting the concentration of the other.

In other words diluting is the opposite of concentrating.

 

I know in common parlance we often use diluting to mean to add water.
This is not untrue just only part of the full (scientific) story.
