A 0.1moldm−3 solution of sodium hydroxide was diluted with distilled water to 0.001moldm−3. What is the dilution factor?

Accepted Answer

The dilution factor is the ratio of the initial concentration to the final concentration. In this case, the initial concentration is 0.1moldm−3 and the final concentration is 0.001moldm−3. Therefore, the dilution factor is 0.1moldm−3 / 0.001moldm−3 = 100.
