Expert Solution
Introduction:-

serial dilution is any dilution in which the concentration decreases by the same factor in each successive step.

In serial dilutions, you multiply the dilution factors for each step.

The dilution factor or the dilution is the initial volume divided by the final volume.

DF=ViVf

For example, if you add a 1 mL sample to 9 mL of diluent to get 10 mL of solution,

DF=ViVf=1ml2ml. This is a 1:10 dilution.
