Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around how to achieve a 1:10 dilution ratio for a solution made from 7ml of ethanol and 3.2 grams of leaf. Participants are exploring the correct method to dilute the solution appropriately.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant asks for help in achieving a 1:10 dilution ratio for their solution.
  • Another participant suggests adding 10 times the volume of solvent to the existing solution to achieve the dilution.
  • A subsequent reply challenges this suggestion, stating that adding 10 volumes of solvent would actually result in an 11-fold dilution.
  • The same participant then proposes that to achieve the correct 1:10 dilution, 9 times the volume of solvent should be added instead.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on the correct method for achieving the 1:10 dilution, with differing views on the amount of solvent to add.

Hi all,

I have a problem than I need to figure out.

I have added 7ml ethanol to 3.2 gm leaf(any leaf)

I have been told to dilute the solution to 1:10 ratio. How to do it?

Could you all please help me?

Now you have a solution right? To dilute the solution 10 times, add 10 times the solvent to it...

Close, but wrong. Adding 10 volumes of solvent would dilute the solution 11 times.

So I believe we have to add 9 times the solvent, sorry for that mistake...
