  2. Dilution (equation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilution_(equation)

    The dilution in welding terms is defined as the weight of the base metal melted divided by the total weight of the weld metal. For example, if we have a dilution of 0.40, the fraction of the weld metal that came from the consumable electrode is 0.60.

  3. Dilution ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilution_ratio

    The diluted material must be thoroughly mixed to achieve the true dilution. For example, in a solution with a 1:5 dilution ratio, entails combining 1 unit volume of solute (the material to be diluted) with 5 unit volumes of the solvent to give 6 total units of total volume. In photographic development, dilutions are normally given in a '1+x ...

  4. Serial dilution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_dilution

    A serial dilution is the step-wise dilution of a substance in solution, either by using a constant dilution factor, or by using a variable factor between dilutions. If the dilution factor at each step is constant, this results in a geometric progression of the concentration in a logarithmic fashion.

  5. Phenol coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenol_coefficient

    To calculate phenol coefficient, the concentration of phenol at which the compound kills the test organism in 10 minutes, but not in 5 minutes, is divided by the concentration of the test compound that kills the organism under the same conditions (or, probably more common, dividing the dilution factor at which the tested substance shows ...

  6. Concentration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration

    Dilution is reduction of concentration, e.g. by adding solvent to a solution. The verb to concentrate means to increase concentration, the opposite of dilute. Etymology

  7. Buffer solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_solution

    A buffer solution is a solution where the pH does not change significantly on dilution or if an acid or base is added at constant temperature. [1] Its pH changes very little when a small amount of strong acid or base is added to it. Buffer solutions are used as a means of keeping pH at a nearly constant value in a wide variety of chemical ...

  9. Alligation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alligation

    Alligation is an old and practical method of solving arithmetic problems related to mixtures of ingredients. There are two types of alligation: alligation medial, used to find the quantity of a mixture given the quantities of its ingredients, and alligation alternate, used to find the amount of each ingredient needed to make a mixture of a given quantity.
