Serial dilutions

  1. a student is creating a sodium chloride dilution series to investigate osmosis in potato tubers. they will need the following concentrations: 0.00, 0.25, 0.50 , 0.75, and 1.00 mol dm-3 from a sodium chloride stock solution of 1 mol dm-3. Draw the dilution series table that they will need in order to carry out this experiment.

  1. A student is creating a glucose dilution series. They will need the following concentrations: 0.1, 0.3 , 0.5 , 0.7, 0.9 and 1.0 mol dm-3 from a stock solution of glucose with a concentration of 2.0 mol dm-3. Draw the dilution series table that they will need in order to carry out this experiment
