Making a standard solution and diluting it sim
Weigh a solid, dissolve it, transfer it with rinsings to a volumetric flask, make up to the mark and invert; then dilute with a pipette. Concentrations in mol/dm³ and g/dm³, and what each slip in technique does to them.
The mole: concentration and standard solutions · covers the O-Level, IGCSE, GCSE topic
