Dilution Calculator (C₁V₁ = C₂V₂)

Calculate concentration or volume for a dilution using the C₁V₁ = C₂V₂ formula.

About the "Dilution Calculator (C₁V₁ = C₂V₂)" Calculator

The dilution formula, C₁V₁ = C₂V₂, is one of the most widely used equations in chemistry and biology for preparing solutions. It helps determine how to dilute a stock solution to obtain a working solution of a desired concentration.

This flexible tool allows you to solve for any unknown in the equation. Simply leave the field you want to calculate blank and fill in the other three.

Meaning of the terms:

  • C₁ (Initial Concentration): The concentration of your stock solution.
  • V₁ (Initial Volume): The volume of the stock solution you need to take.
  • C₂ (Final Concentration): The concentration of the new solution you want to prepare.
  • V₂ (Final Volume): The total volume of the new solution.
