You have 10000 mL of dH2O What volume of glycerine would you

You have 100.00 mL of dH2O. What volume of glycerine would you have to add in order to make a 2.000% v/v dilution? (Hint: Let C1 be the original and C2 be the final concentration of glycerine, then let V1 be the unknown volume of glycerine to add. Solve for V1.)

Solution

To make 2 % dilution we can calculate in the following way

2% = 2/100 = .02 ml

To make 2% dilution = 100ml- 0.02 ml = 99.98 of water

So, 0.02ml of glycerine will be added to 99.98 ml water to make 2% dilution
