Dilution Calculator

The dilution calculator computes the volume of the stock solution (V1​) needed to achieve the desired concentration using the formula: C1×V1=C2×V2. The result displays the volume of the stock solution needed to prepare the desired solution.

Understanding how to dilute solutions accurately is crucial in chemistry, biology, and many other scientific fields. Our dilution calculator is a handy tool that helps you determine the correct amounts of stock solution and diluent needed to achieve a desired concentration. Let’s dive into what dilution is, how to use our dilution calculator.

Dilution Meaning?

Dilution is the process of reducing the concentration of a solute in a solution by adding more solvent. This is commonly done to prepare solutions of a specific concentration for experiments or applications.

• Purpose: Dilution ensures that you have the right concentration of a substance for your needs, whether it’s for a lab experiment, medical treatment, or industrial process.

• Importance: Accurate dilution is essential for consistent and reliable results in scientific research and practical applications.

Dilution Equation

• Initial Concentration (C1): The concentration of your stock solution.
• Final Concentration (C2): The desired concentration after dilution.
• Initial Volume (V1): The volume of the stock solution you start with.
• Final Volume (V2): The total volume after adding the diluent.

How Does Our Dilution Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the principles of dilution to help you determine the volumes needed to achieve a specific concentration. Here’s how to use the dilution calculator in simple steps

1. Enter the Stock Concentration
   Type in how strong your original solution is. For example, if it says “1 M”, type “1” in the box. Make sure the unit (like Molar, M) is correct.
2. Enter the Desired Concentration
   This is how weak you want your new solution to be. For example, if you want it half as strong, type “0.5” here.
3. Enter the Desired Volume
   Type how much of the new (weaker) solution you want. For example, if you want 2 liters, type “2”.
4. Click “Calculate”
   Press the green “Calculate” button.
5. Check the Result
   The calculator will tell you how much of the strong solution (stock) you need to mix with water to get your desired amount of weaker solution.
