Formula: V₂ = C₁V₁/C₂

About this tool

Find the final volume and how much solvent to add to dilute a solution.

C₁·V₁ = C₂·V₂, so V₂ = C₁·V₁ ÷ C₂. Solvent to add = V₂ − V₁.

Formula: V₂ = C₁V₁/C₂

Example: Starting concentration (C₁) = 2, Starting volume (V₁) = 50, Target concentration (C₂) = 0.5 → Final volume (V₂) = 200, Solvent to add = 150.

Use the same units for both concentrations and both volumes.

FAQ

How does the Dilution Calculator (C₁V₁ = C₂V₂) work?

C₁·V₁ = C₂·V₂, so V₂ = C₁·V₁ ÷ C₂. Solvent to add = V₂ − V₁.

What should I keep in mind?

Use the same units for both concentrations and both volumes.
