Solution
a. The concentration of the solution would be lower than desired. This is because concentration is the amount of solute divided by the amount of solution. If you add more solvent (in this case, presumably water) than intended, you're increasing the amount of solution, which decreases the concentration because the amount of solute stays the same.

A bacterial stock solution was found to have a density 5.0 x 106 cells. The microbiologist took 1 mL of the stock solution and diluted it to a final volume of 10 mL with the appropriate media. Which of the following statement regarding the dilution is true?
A student performed a serial dilution involving a 1.00 mol dm–3 solution of NaCl. To do this, the student took 10 cm3 of that solution, added it to a 100 cm3 volumetric flask and diluted with water up to 100 cm3 to create dilution #1. The student then took 10 cm3 of dilution #1, added it to a 100 cm3 volumetric flask and diluted with water up to 100 cm3 to create dilution #2. The student repeated this process 3 more times to get dilution #5.Calculate the concentration of dilution #5 in g cm–3.
