What is meant by the term seial dilution?
Answers:
Serial dilution is a means of diluting a solution in a series of steps to minimise the additive errors associated with volumetric equipment.
I assume you meant serial dilution. If you want to make many dilutions of a compound, you start with the most concentrated one, let's say it's 0.128 M. Now you put 1 mL of water into a number of test tubes and you put 2 mL of this solution into one last test tube. you take 1 mL of this and put it into one of the tubes containing 1 mL of water. You have cut the concentration in half and you now have 1 mL of 0.128 M compound and your new 2 mL mixture of 0.064 M solution. You take 1 mL of this new solution and drop it into another tube of 1 mL pure water. You have cut the concentration in half again.
At the end, depending on how many dilutions you want, you will have 1 mL of each of 0.128 M, 0.064 M, 0.032 M, 0.016 M, . solutions.
Seial seems to be a kind of ethernet port (http://www.seial.com/) I can't see how that can be diluted.
If you mean serial dilution I have found this useful website which has a diagram as well as an explaination:
