It is frequently necessary to perform dilutions of a stock solution in the laboratory. If you were instructed to make a 1:2 dilution of a stock solution to arrive at a final volume of 500, how much stock solution would you need to pipet?

Step 1
This means that for every 1 part of stock solution, you will add 2 parts of solvent to make the final volume. Show more…

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?

Calculate dilutions for percent solutions: Assume that there is a 0.5% (w/v) stock solution available. You will use this stock solution to make up three different 5 ml working solutions. The concentration of each of the working solutions is as follows: 0.25%, 0.05%, and 0.001%. 1.) Calculate the volume of stock solution and water that will be used for each dilution.
