How this calculator works
C₂ = C₁V₁/V₂.
Formula
C₂=C₁V₁/V₂Final concentration from conservation of solute during dilution.
Worked example
Verified example is a verified test case used by the calculation engine.
Assumptions and limitations
- Final volume must be positive.
- Concentration and initial volume are non-negative.
- Use compatible volume units.
Methodology & sources
This calculator uses deterministic, versioned calculation logic. The formula and verified examples above are part of the calculation definition used by CalcuMint. Technical calculation version: 1.

Frequently asked questions
What stays constant during dilution?
This model assumes the amount of solute is conserved.
Must the volumes use the same units?
Yes, use compatible volume units.
