It is frequently necessary to perform dilutions of stock solutions in the laboratory. If you were instructed to make a 1:200 dilution of a stock solution to arrive at a final volume of 1,000, how much stock solution would you need to pipette?

Step 1
First, we need to determine the dilution factor. In this case, the dilution factor is 1.200 (which means we need to dilute the stock solution 1,200 times). Show more…

It is frequently necessary to perform dilutions of a stock solution in the laboratory. If you were instructed to make a 1:10 dilution of a stock solution to arrive at a final volume of 100, how much stock solution would you need to pipet?

For solution dilution, using the dilution law, calculate the volume of stock solution required to prepare a 10% dilution in a 50 mL volumetric flask.
