Here's what your link say's that you posted with your question:
If one wants to dilute a solution for an investigation of the concentration dependence quite often, one does a thinner row.

Example [treatment]
One takes, e.g., 10ml of the source solution and fills in this on 100ml. If the source solution has a concentration from c=1 mol/l, the first thinner has a concentration from c=0,1 mol/l.

With the next step one infers from the first thinner 10ml and fills in this again on 100ml. Then the second thinner has a concentration from c=0,01 mol/l.

One can continue this arbitrarily. Per step the concentration around a ten power becomes smaller.

Production of a row of solutions of known concentrations. With full pipettes the following concentrations are produced: Solution 1 has the concentration c=c (max.) (e.g., 1 mol/l), then solution 2 has the concentration c=1 / 2 c (max.) (0.5 mol/l), then solution 3 has the concentration c=1 / 4 c (max.) (0.25 mol/l) etc. a disadvantage in full pipettes is that they are not very precise with high concentrations.

Answer 2

I'm not absolutely certain, but I think it has to do with the condition of a chemical reaction which has proceeded to completion, with all the reactants having reacted and reached equilibrium. The suffix 'ungs' is similar to the English 'ness' and 'reihe' is related to 'rest'. Try searching on the root word Verdunnung, or dunnung.

Answer 3

Don't know. But I think reihe means row.

Answer 4

"dilution series"
