Chapter 8, Problem 8.46PP

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The stock solution that will be required to prepare $\text{400}\text{mL}$ of a disinfectant that requires a $1:8$ dilution of a stock solution.

Introduction:

The lower concentration solution is prepared by diluting the solution of higher concentration by adding more solvent.

The volume of the given solution is calculated by the dilution equation.

$\text{Dilution}\text{factor}=\frac{\text{Volume}\text{of}\text{final}\text{solution}}{\text{Volume}\text{of}\text{initial}\text{solution}}$
