Dilution Calculator

Calculate dilution using the C1V1 = C2V2 formula.

Solve for

Initial Concentration (C1)

Initial Volume (V1)

Final Concentration (C2)

Final Volume (V2)

Formula: C1 × V1 = C2 × V2

Dilution Result

Formula: C1 × V1 = C2 × V2

Description

Dilution is the process of reducing the concentration of a solute in a solution by adding more solvent. The relationship follows the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1 and V1 are the initial concentration and volume, and C2 and V2 are the final concentration and volume.

How to use

Select which variable to solve for (V1, V2, C1, or C2). Enter the other three values. The result is calculated instantly. Units must be consistent (e.g. all volumes in mL, all concentrations in mol/L).
