What is Dilution: Definition and 69 Discussions

Stock dilution, also known as equity dilution, is the decrease in existing shareholders' ownership percentage of a company as a result of the company issuing new equity. New equity increases the total shares outstanding which has a dilutive effect on the ownership percentage of existing shareholders. This increase in the number of shares outstanding can result from a primary market offering (including an initial public offering), employees exercising stock options, or by issuance or conversion of convertible bonds, preferred shares or warrants into stock. This dilution can shift fundamental positions of the stock such as ownership percentage, voting control, earnings per share, and the value of individual shares.

    DeltaH of Diluting 24% NaOH to 2% in H2O

    Hello I know that dissolving pure NaOH in water will generate heat. But what happens when you dilute a 24% NAOH solution with water till 2%? Example: What is the DeltaH for 100 ml 24% NaOH solution + 50 ml H2O? Thanks

    So the question is: what is the optical density of the original sample?

    The problem: how to determine the optical density of a diluted sample Hi, i work on algae and bioenergy and i have a question about the OD. I have to determine the optical density of about 400 samples. Some samples however are too "dense" for the photospectrometer, that is they have an optical...

    Why Do We Square Molarities in Free Energy Calculations for HCl Dilution?

    Calculate ΔG for the dilution of aqueous HCl from 0.89 M to 0.253 M at 25°C. THis was a question I had to do some time earlier for one of my assignments. I got some help from a classmate and he said THE FOLLOWING: "H+ and Cl- are equimolar so you have to put them to the power of two...

    Equilibrium Position - Effect of Dilution

    Iodine is sparingly soluble in pure water. However, it does `dissolve' in solutions containing excess iodide ion because of the following reaction: I-(aq) + I2(aq) I3-(aq) K = 710 L/mol For each of the following cases calculate the equilbrium ratio of [I3-] to [I2]: 2.00×10-2 mol...

    Calculate ΔG for Dilution of HCl from 0.89M to 0.253M

    1. Calculate ΔG for the dilution of aqueous HCl from 0.89 M to 0.253 M at 25°C. data 2. The process you are considering is: H+(aq) + Cl-(aq)® H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) (for which ΔG°=0 i.e. standard states all round--both sides are the same). Now use ΔG=ΔG° + RTln(Q). (Use the actual...

    PH, Buffers, and Dilution question

    I understand the henderson-hasselbalch equation, and how the pH of a solution depends on the ratio of acid to its conjugate base. However, I don't understand how this concept can be related to solutions that are extremely diluted. For example, let's say you have 0.00001M acid+c.base...

    Calculate Molarity of Diluted 98% H2SO4 in 500 mL

    1. Concentrated h2so4 solution is 98% by weight and has a density of 1.84% g/mL . A volume of 21.75 mL of this solution was diluted to 500 mL and has a density of 1.09 g/mol. What is the molarity of the resulting solution? 2. M1V1 = M2V2 molarity = moles/litres which is also = grams of...

    Practicing some dilution problems

    I've been practicing some dilution problems from my chemistry book and I can't seem to get some of these down. A 13 mL sample of a solution of Pb(ClO3)2 was diluted with water to 21 mL. A 15 mL sample of the dilute solution was found to contain 2.7 moles of Pb2+. What was the concentration of...

    Different Dilution factors for the normalizator

    I am looking for some ideas about this one. I use B actin as the normalizator in my western blot. i use different dilution factors of the B actin antibody. For some samples i use 500X and for others i use 1000X. I wonder when i normalize my samples and calculate the relative expression levels...

    Dialysis dilution question

    I just can't quite get my head around this one.. and i suspect that the question or my head may have an error! Sounds a bit like dilution eh? The way i tried to work it out was 1) The 10ml sample contained 0.03 moles of salt (n=CV) 2) The water removes salt at 0.03 (concentration...
