dilution techniques

Dilution techniques involve reducing the concentration of a substance in a solution. This is done by adding more solvent—like water—thereby decreasing the amount of the original substance relative to the total volume. Common methods include serial dilution, where a solution is diluted step-by-step, and direct dilution, where a solution is mixed with a larger volume of solvent. These techniques are important in labs for precise measurements and experiments, ensuring that reactions happen at the desired intensity without overwhelming the system.
