Best Answer

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.

Definition of dilution and dilution factor?

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.

Concentration factor, CF = 1/Dilution factor, DF if DF = 5 then CF = 1/5 CF = 0.2

What does 1 in 5 dilution mean?

When you are doing dilutions the larger number is always the total final volume. The smaller number is the amount of the solute. The larger number minus the smaller number is the amount of the solvent. So a 1:5 or a 1 IN 5 dilution would be 1 part solute and 4 parts solvent to come to a total volume of 5.When referencing ratios in mathematics 1:5 means 1 TO 5. The ratio is relative to the two items. For every 1 of the first you have 5 of the second.It is critical if you are making dilutions to understand the difference as the two explanations are not interchangeable.
