Dilutions: Dilutions can sometimes be visually observed. In the image above, the intense red color slowly fades as the solutions become more diluted. Serial Dilutions Serial dilutions involve diluting a stock or standard solution multiple times in a row. Typically, the dilution factor remains constant for each dilution, resulting in an exponential decrease in concentration.

For example, a ten-fold serial dilution could result in the following concentrations: 1 M, 0.1 M, 0.01 M, 0.001 M, and so on. As is evidenced in this example, the concentration is reduced by a factor of ten in each step. Serial dilutions are used to accurately create extremely diluted solutions, as well as solutions for experiments that require a concentration curve with an exponential or logarithmic scale. Serial dilutions are widely used in experimental sciences, including biochemistry, pharmacology, microbiology, and physics. Key Takeaways Key Points • Molar concentration, also called molarity, is the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.

Molarity is the most common measurement of solution concentration. • Because molarity measurements are mole/L measurements, we often use this unit for stoichiometric calculations to determine the amount of chemical in a given mixture. • Do not confuse moles with molarity: molarity is a measure of concentration, while moles are a measure of the amount of substance. Key Terms • molarity: The concentration of a substance in solution, expressed as the number moles of solute per liter of solution. • solution: a homogeneous mixture, either liquid, gas, or solid, formed by dissolving one or more substances • mole: Molarity In chemistry, molar concentration, or molarity, is defined as moles of solute per total liters of solution. This is an important distinction; the volume in the definition of molarity refers to the volume of the solution, and not the volume of the solvent. The reason for this is because one liter of solution usually contains either slightly more or slightly less than 1 liter of solvent, due to the presence of the solute.

The SI unit for molarity is is mol/m 3; however, you will almost always encounter molarity with the units of mol/L. A solution of concentration 1 mol/L is also denoted as “1 molar” (1 M). Mol/L can also be written in the following ways (however, mol/L, or simply M, is most common): 1 mol/L = 1 M = 1 mol/dm 3 = 1 mol dm −3 = 1000 mol/m 3 It is important to distinguish moles from molarity; molarity is a measurement of concentration while moles are a measure of the amount of substance present at a given time.

Word 'dilution' or 'dilute' in your instructions, you are doing a simple dilution as discussed in section 1. If you are not sure, ask advice from someone who will probably know. Serial Dilution. A serial dilution is simply a series of simple dilutions which amplifies the dilution factor quickly beginning with a small initial quantity.

A serial dilution is the stepwise of a in. Usually the at each step is constant, resulting in a of the in a fashion. A ten-fold serial dilution could be 1, 0.1 M, 0.01 M, 0.001 M. Serial dilutions are used to accurately create highly diluted solutions as well as solutions for resulting in with a. A tenfold dilution for each step is called a logarithmic dilution or log-dilution, a 3.16-fold (10 0.5-fold) dilution is called a half-logarithmic dilution or half-log dilution, and a 1.78-fold (10 0.25-fold) dilution is called a quarter-logarithmic dilution or quarter-log dilution. Serial dilutions are widely used in experimental sciences, including,,, and.

Contents • • • • • In biology and medicine [ ] In and, besides the more conventional uses described above, serial dilution may also be used to reduce the concentration of microscopic organisms or cells in a sample. As, for instance, the number and size of that grow on an plate in a given time is concentration-dependent, and since many other diagnostic techniques involve physically counting the number of micro-organisms or cells on specials printed with grids (for comparing concentrations of two organisms or cell types in the sample) or wells of a given volume (for absolute concentrations), dilution can be useful for getting more manageable results. Serial dilution is also a cheaper and simpler method for preparing than and. In homeopathy [ ]. Experiments in Microbiology, Plant Pathology and Biotechnology. New Age Publishers, 2005, p.
