Solution Dilution (M₁·V₁ = M₂·V₂) Calculator
Calculates the stock volume required and solvent to add when preparing a diluted solution of a desired concentration and volume from a stock solution.
Info
Solution dilution is the process of lowering the concentration of a stock (concentrated) solution by adding solvent (usually water). The amount of solute does not change — only the volume increases. This is why the relation M1·V1 = M2·V2 (or C1·V1 = C2·V2) is used. With this tool you can: - Enter the concentration of your stock solution (M1) and the target concentration (M2). - Specify the final volume you want to prepare (V2). - The tool calculates how many mL to take from the stock (V1) and how much solvent (water) to add. Notes: - Keep volume units consistent (all mL or all L). - The target concentration (M2) cannot exceed the stock concentration (M1); dilution makes a less concentrated solution. - The concentration unit can be mol/L, g/L or % (w/v); what matters is using the same unit for both input and output.
