Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The dilution of $\text{51}{\text{.38 mmol KMnO}}_{\text{4}}$ into $\text{1, 2, 3, and 4 mmol}{\text{KMnO}}_{\text{4}}$ solutions should be explained and exact concentrations of the diluted solutions are should be given.

Concept introduction:

Dilution:

Dilution is the process that is used to prepare a low concentration solutions from higher concentration solutions.

The dilution is carried out by using volumetric principle, it is used to determine concentration and volume of diluted solution from the known solution.

${\text{M}}_{\text{con}}{\text{V}}_{\text{con}}\text{=}{\text{M}}_{\text{dil}}{\text{V}}_{\text{dil}}$

Where,

${\text{V}}_{\text{con}}$ is a volume of Concentrated solution

${\text{V}}_{\text{dil}}$ is a volume of diluted solution

${\text{M}}_{\text{con}}$ is a concentration of concentrated solution

${\text{M}}_{\text{dil}}$ is a concentration of diluted solution

Serial dilution:

The process that is used to prepare a low concentration solutions from higher concentration solutions by stepwise dilution method.
