Question

if an unknown sample solution is prepared by diluting 10.00 ml of the original solution to a total volume of 100.0 ml with deionized water, what is the dilution factor?

Answer 1

The dilution factor of the unknown sample is 10. The dilution factor of a solution refers to the ratio of the final volume of the now diluted solution to the initial volume of the of the initial concentrated solution.

Mathematically;

The dilution factor is given by the formula;

Dilution factor = Final volume of the now diluted solution/ Initial volume of more concentrated solution

Final volume of the now diluted solution = 100.0 ml

Initial volume of more concentrated solution = 10.00 ml

Dilution factor = 100.0 ml/10.00 ml

Dilution factor =  10
