How to Make Dilutions
To make a dilution you need to know the 3 main concepts. The 3 main concepts are the calculations of a dilution, making a dilution optimally, and calculating the final dilution. The formula you use for dilution is V1C1 = V2C2. V1 stands for the starting volume of the solution, C1 is the starting concentration of the solution, V2 is the final volume of the solution, and C2 is the final concentration of the new solution. When making a dilution, it is very important to know this formula.
This is mine and my teammates after picture of our Dilution Lab. We started with 25mL of water in a beaker, with 10.26 grams of Koolaid. We had to take out 5mL of water out of that beaker and add it to another one. We continued to do that to each beaker one after another. While, doing this the Koolaid in each beaker became less and less darker than the color we started at. Solution A was the darkest solution, solution C was more water than Koolaid, solution D was barely any Koolaid flavor, but C seemed to be the best taste out of all the solutions. Solution C had the best concentration because it had the right amount of water and Koolaid powder with a great taste.
