Applications

Used by chemistry students, lab technicians, pharmacists, and researchers to prepare solutions of specific concentrations by dilution.

The Formula

The dilution equation C⁡V₁ = C₂V₂ states that the moles of solute remain constant before and after dilution. Given any three values, the fourth can be calculated: V₁ = (C₂ × V₂) / C₁, C₁ = (C₂ × V₂) / V₁, V₂ = (C₁ × V₁) / C₂, C₂ = (C₁ × V₁) / V₂.

Fun Fact: The dilution equation is derived from the principle of conservation of mass — the number of moles of solute does not change when you add more solvent.
