Solution Dilution Calculator
The Solution Dilution Calculator is a tool used to determine the volume or concentration of a solution needed to prepare a desired dilution. It simplifies the process of calculating dilutions, saving time and minimizing errors. Widely used in laboratories, education, and research, it is particularly beneficial for experiments requiring precise solution preparation. The formula used is: C1V1 = C2V2, where C1 and C2 are the initial and final concentrations, and V1 and V2 are the initial and final volumes, respectively.
How to Use the Solution Dilution Calculator
To use the Solution Dilution Calculator, enter the initial concentration (C1), initial volume (V1), and final concentration (C2). Click "Calculate" to compute the final volume (V2) or input the values accordingly to solve for any missing parameter. The calculator will display the result and a step-by-step solution for better understanding. A clear button is also available to reset the fields for a new calculation. Ensure inputs are in consistent units for accurate results.
