Best Answer

To make a 1 to 5 dilution you mix 1 part of your substance with 4 parts water. ie: Mix 1 tablespoon of creamer with 4 tables spoons of coffee, and the coffee is 1/5 creamer now.

Definition of dilution and dilution factor?

In chemistry and biology, the dilution factor is the total number of unit volumes in which the material is dissolved. As I understand it, the dilution refers to the dilution ratio. If you add 1 part of something to 4 parts of something else, the dilution ratio is 1 to 4. The dilution factor counts all the parts and expresses the same thing as 1 out of 5.

What does 1 in 5 dilution mean?

When you are doing dilutions the larger number is always the total final volume. The smaller number is the amount of the solute. The larger number minus the smaller number is the amount of the solvent. So a 1:5 or a 1 IN 5 dilution would be 1 part solute and 4 parts solvent to come to a total volume of 5.When referencing ratios in mathematics 1:5 means 1 TO 5. The ratio is relative to the two items. For every 1 of the first you have 5 of the second.It is critical if you are making dilutions to understand the difference as the two explanations are not interchangeable.

How do you make a 8 fold dilution?

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
