How to Use the Dilution Calculator
- Enter the concentration of your stock solution (C1) in the first input field.
- Enter the desired concentration (C2) for your final solution in the second input field.
- Enter the final volume (V2) you want to achieve in the third input field.
- Click the "Calculate" button to compute the volume of stock solution (V1) and the volume of diluent needed.
- The results will be displayed in the respective fields below the input fields.
Understanding the Formula
The calculator uses the formula: V1 = (C2 * V2) / C1, where:
- V1 is the volume of stock solution needed.
- C1 is the stock solution concentration.
- V2 is the final volume of the solution.
- C2 is the desired concentration of the final solution.
This formula ensures that you mix the correct amounts of stock solution and diluent to achieve the desired concentration in the final volume.
