What is your overall dilution factor if you complete 3 serial dilutions using a 100-fold dilution each time? (Show your work)

Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction 

Dilution is the process of making a solution weaker or less concentrated by adding more solvent (usually water). This results in a lower concentration of solute (the substance being dissolved) in the solution. The amount by which the solution is diluted is often expressed as a "dilution factor."
