dilution
Dilution is the process of reducing the concentration of a solute in a solution by adding more solvent or by removing some of the solution. It is commonly used to bring concentrations into a workable range for experiments, measurements, or reactions, and to prepare standards of known concentration.
The relationship between concentrations and volumes in dilution is described by the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where
Common methods include dilution by volume and serial dilution. Dilution by volume adds solvent until the solution
Applications span chemistry, biology, medicine, and environmental science. Dilution is used to prepare assay standards, calibrate
