What Is Dilution?
Dilution is lowering the concentration by adding solvent to a concentrated solution. The amount of substance stays the same while the volume increases.
How is it calculated?
How Is It Calculated?
M₁ × V₁ = M₂ × V₂
- Enter the three known values.
- The unknown final concentration or volume is found.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the number of moles change during dilution?
No; since only solvent is added, the number of moles of solute stays constant.
