Did you know?
Did you know that dilution is a process of reducing the concentration of a solute in a solution by adding more solvent? The dilution equation, C1V1 = C2V2, is commonly used to calculate the volume or concentration needed to achieve a desired dilution.
For example, dilution is widely used in scientific experiments and laboratories. In the field of medicine, a common application of dilution is in the preparation of vaccines. Vaccines are often concentrated solutions of pathogens or their components, which need to be diluted to appropriate concentrations before administration to ensure safety and efficacy. Dilution helps to control the dosage and minimize potential side effects, making vaccines safer for patients.
