DILUTIONS AND STANDARDS

By adding 1 mL of solution to 9 mL of water, you have prepared a 1:10 dilution. Therefore: 4 g/mL x 1/10 = 4 g/mL/10 = 0.4 g/mL. Example 2: If you had a 100 mg/dL solution of glucose and made a 1:5 dilution, what concentration of glucose is contained in the dilution? 100 mg/dL x 1/5 = 100 mg/dL/5 = 20 mg/dL . … ................
