A 0.1\(moldm^{-3}\) solution of sodium hydroxide was diluted with distilled water to 0.001\(moldm^{-3}\). What is the dilution factor?
- 1000.00
- 100.00
- 10.00
-
0.01
The correct answer is: D
Explanation
Dilution factor = \(\frac{molar conc. of diluted}{molar conc. of undiluted}\)
= \(\frac{0.001}{0.1} = 0.01\)
