Best Answer

An 8-fold dilution means you are making your solution 1/8 less concentrated. So, if you want to make 100 ml of a solution diluted 8 fold you would do as follows:

1/8=.125 100*.125= 12.5

Mix 12.5 mL of your concentrated solution with 87.5 mL of your solvent (water etc..) to bring the final volume to 100 mL.

If you wanted to perform a ten fold dilution you would simply mix 10 mL of your concentrated solution with 90 mL of your solvent.

1/10=.1 100*.1=10

What is the explanation for tenfold dilution technique?

In ten fold dilution we add one part of the sample into the nine part of the diluent e.g. water. It will make it ten fold dilute. If we have series of tubes to dilute then after making the ten fold dilution in first tube, take the dilute sample from the first tube in same quantity as we added sample in first tube and add it to 2nd one. then then take the same quantity from 2nd one and add to third one and so on......... from the last tube we take the adjusted quantity of dilute sample and discard it. This will make the series of ten fold dilution. If you add one part substance to 10 parts of water, you get an 11-fold dilution.

Is it true that a ten-fold dilution of a strong acidic solution will decrease the pH by 1?

No, it is false. A ten-fold dilution of an acid will INCREASE the pH by 1 unit. Remember pH is 0-14 where 0 is most acidic. Diluting ten-fold on a logarithmic scale will increase the pH.Conversely, a ten-fold dilution of an alkali/base will increase the pH by 1 unit.


How do you make a 10 fold dilution?

Add one part of the substance you want to dilute to nine parts water. Nine parts water plus one part substance is 10 parts. If you add one part substance to 10 parts water, you get an 11-fold dilution.
