To make a 1 to 1 dilution, you combine equal volumes of the concentrated solution and a diluent, typically a solvent like water. For example, if you have 10 mL of the concentrated solution, you would add 10 mL of the diluent. Mix thoroughly to ensure a uniform solution. This results in a final volume of 20 mL at half the concentration of the original solution.
To make a 1 to 100 dilution, start by taking 1 part of the concentrated solution and add it to 99 parts of a diluent (usually water or a buffer). For example, if you use 1 mL of the concentrated solution, mix it with 99 mL of the diluent. Ensure thorough mixing to achieve a uniform dilution. This results in a final solution that is 1% of the original concentration.
take 1 ml, add 9 ml water.
To make a 1000-fold dilution, take 1 part of your concentrated solution and mix it with 999 parts of a diluent, such as water or buffer. For example, if you start with 1 mL of the concentrated solution, you would add it to 999 mL of the diluent. Mix thoroughly to ensure homogeneity. This results in a dilution where the original solution is reduced to one-thousandth of its initial concentration.
Add 2 mL of culture to 20 mL of buffer. 2/20 = 1/10
A 1 in 50 dilution means that one part of a substance is mixed with 49 parts of a diluent, resulting in a total of 50 parts. This is often expressed as a ratio (1:50) or as a fraction (1/50), indicating that the original substance is present at a concentration of 2% (1 part out of 50). This type of dilution is commonly used in laboratories for preparing solutions with specific concentrations.
You add 9.09ml of stock solution to a volumetric and make it up to 1 litre to get a 110 dilution
In chemistry and biology, the dilution factor is the total number of unit volumes in which the material is dissolved. As I understand it, the dilution refers to the dilution ratio. If you add 1 part of something to 4 parts of something else, the dilution ratio is 1 to 4. The dilution factor counts all the parts and expresses the same thing as 1 out of 5.
To make a 1 to 5 dilution you mix 1 part of your substance with 4 parts water. ie: Mix 1 tablespoon of creamer with 4 tables spoons of coffee, and the coffee is 1/5 creamer now.
To make a 500 dilution, add 1 part of the substance you are diluting to 499 parts of water. For example, if you have 1 mL of the substance, you would add 499 mL of water to make a total volume of 500 mL for the dilution.
take 1 ml, add 9 ml water.
1:2 means "1 part to 2 parts", so if the "1 part" is what you are diluting, it is actually a 1/3 dilution (one part into 3 parts total). On the other hand, 1/2 means "1 part into 2 parts total", and in the colon nomenclature that would be a 1:1 dilution.
measure 1 ml of the original solution and add 6.6 ml of distilled water.
The recommended dilution for mouthwash is typically 1 part mouthwash to 1 part water. This dilution helps to reduce the intensity of the mouthwash while still maintaining its effectiveness in killing bacteria and freshening breath.
When 0.25 ml is diluted to a final volume of 20 ml, the resulting dilution can be calculated as the ratio of the original volume to the final volume. This is calculated as 0.25 ml / 20 ml, which simplifies to a dilution factor of 1:80. Therefore, the resulting dilution is 1:80.
Concentration factor, CF = 1/Dilution factor, DF if DF = 5 then CF = 1/5 CF = 0.2
1 ml solute to 19 mls solvent. This gives a total volume of 20 (20 fold)
A 100 times dilution of a stock solution means that you are adding 1 part of the stock solution to 99 parts of a diluent (such as water) to make a total volume of 100 parts. This results in a final solution that is 1/100th the concentration of the original stock solution.
