how to make a 1:8 dilution of chemical Y. You have 350 mililiters of chemical Y. how much diluent do you need?
To make a 1:8 dilution of chemical Y, you will need to mix 1 part of chemical Y with 8 parts of a diluent. In this case, you have 350 milliliters of chemical Y, so we can calculate the total volume of the resulting solution by adding the volume of chemical Y to the volume of the diluent.
To find out the volume of the diluent, we need to divide the volume of chemical Y by the dilution factor (which is the sum of the numerator and the denominator in the dilution ratio). In this case, the dilution factor is 1 + 8 = 9.
Dividing the volume of chemical Y by the dilution factor (350 mL / 9), we can calculate the volume of the diluent.
So, to make a 1:8 dilution of chemical Y with 350 milliliters of chemical Y, you will need approximately 38.89 milliliters of diluent.
