Dilution factor is the?

A. amount of distilled water that is added to the concentrated solution to dilute it
B. Quantity of distilled water added to l dm3 of the concentrated solution to give the dilute solution
C. number of times the volume of the concentrated solution is diluted to give the dilute solution
D. act of diluting the concentrated solution to obtain the dilute solution

Correct Answer:

Option C – number of times the volume of the concentrated solution is diluted to give the dilute solution

Explanation

– Dilution Factor is the factor by which the stock solution is diluted. It may be expressed as the ratio of the volume of the final diluted solution (V2) to the initial volume removed from the stock solution (V1)

– The dilution factor is the total number of unit volumes in which your material will be dissolved.
