Dilution Factor Calculator
A dilution factor is a numerical expression that quantifies the reduction in concentration resulting from the mixing of a substance with a solvent or another solution. It is calculated by dividing the initial volume of the concentrated solution by the final volume after dilution. The dilution factor provides a straightforward way to understand the extent to which a solution has been thinned or weakened, crucial information in various scientific fields such as chemistry and biology. The formula for calculating the dilution factor is the ratio of the initial volume to the final volume, offering a clear indication of the resulting concentration compared to the original solution.
