Respuesta :

To accomplish the dilution the microbiologist should dilute 1 mL of the bacterial culture in 100 mL of the total volume. Thus, option C is correct.

What is dilution?

Dilution is a process of decreasing the solute concentration by the addition of the solvent in the solution. The volume for the dilution is calculated as:

Given,

C1 = 100,000 cell per mL

C2 = 1000 cell per mL

V1 = 1 mL

C1 V1 = C2 V2

100,000 × (1 ÷ 1000)

= 100 mL

Therefore, 100 mL should be used to dilute 1 mL.
