Question

Upon completing a dilution from a stock solution, you will always have more volume of solution than you started with and it will have a lower concentration than the stock solution.true or false

Answer 1

True: due to
- A stock solution is a solution that has been prepared with a greater concentration of solute than is needed for a procedure, so it must be diluted to the proper concentration(s) before use.
- It is very important that you master the concepts and techniques of preparing dilutions .
- A dilution is made by taking a measured portion of a stock solution, and adding to it a solvent (water or a buffer).
- This creates a new solution with a lower concentration of solute than was contained in the stock solution.
- Since the solute concentration of the stock solution is known as well as the volumes of stock and solvent, it is possible to calculate the concentration of solute in the dilute solution.
- The dilute solution is always less concentrated than the stock or starting solution. 
So the answer is True
