Formula
The Dilution Calculator uses the formula:
Final volume (V2) = Initial concentration (C1) × Initial volume (V1) ÷ Final concentration (C2)
Worked example
For example, with initial concentration (c1) of 5, initial volume (v1) of 10 and final concentration (c2) of 1, the final volume (v2) is 50.000.
| Initial concentration (C1) | 5 |
|---|---|
| Initial volume (V1) | 10 |
| Final concentration (C2) | 1 |
| Final volume (V2) | 50.000 |
|---|---|
| Solvent to add | 40.000 |

Frequently asked questions
It uses C1V1 = C2V2. To find the final volume, V2 = C1 × V1 ÷ C2. Diluting 10 units of a 5 M solution to 1 M gives a final volume of 50.
Subtract the initial volume from the final volume. In the example, 50 − 10 = 40 units of solvent are added.
Any consistent units work, as long as both concentrations match and both volumes match. The ratio is what matters.
Yes, for simple dilutions where only solvent is added. It assumes the amount of solute stays the same.
