Dilution Calculator
Mass per Volume (C₁V₁ = C₂V₂)
Calculate dilutions using the C₁V₁ = C₂V₂ formula. Solve for any variable with step-by-step solutions.
Dilution Parameters

Dilution Formula
C₁V₁ = C₂V₂
where: C = concentration, V = volume
Note
In dilution, the final concentration is always less than the initial concentration, and the final volume is always greater than the initial volume.
Common Units
- • g/L (grams per liter)
- • mg/mL (milligrams per milliliter)
- • M (molarity)
- • % (percentage)
About Dilution
Dilution is the process of reducing the concentration of a solute in a solution by adding more solvent. The C₁V₁ = C₂V₂ formula is fundamental in chemistry.
Key Points:
- Amount of solute remains constant
- Only solvent is added
- Final concentration < Initial concentration
Applications
- Laboratory solution preparation
- Pharmaceutical formulations
- Chemical analysis
- Food and beverage industry
- Environmental testing
