Solution

  1. Adding more sugar to the water when making a syrup: This action would not dilute the solution, but rather concentrate it. Dilution involves adding more solvent (in this case, water) to a solution to decrease the concentration of the solute (sugar).

  2. Adding more water to a cup of coffee: This action would dilute the coffee. By adding more water, you're increasing the amount of solvent (water) and decreasing the concentration of the solute (coffee).

  3. Releasing a solution of polluted storm water into the ocean: This action would dilute the polluted storm water. The ocean water acts as a solvent, and the polluted storm water is the solute. By adding the storm water to the ocean, you're increasing the amount of solvent, which decreases the concentration of the solute.

  4. Evaporating the acetone solvent from a cologne: This action would not dilute the cologne, but rather concentrate it. By evaporating the solvent (acetone), you're decreasing the amount of solvent and increasing the concentration of the solute (the fragrance oils in the cologne).
