Dilution M1V1=M2V2 Calculator: Solve V2 from the dilution relation M1V1=M2V2 given stock and target concentrations.
When to use Dilution M1V1=M2V2
Use this chemistry calculator to reproduce a named relationship with explicit quantities and units for study, laboratory planning, or an independent numerical check.
- Initial concentration M1 (mol/L)
- Stock concentration before dilution.
- Initial volume V1 (L)
- Volume of stock solution used.
- Final concentration M2 (mol/L)
- Target concentration after dilution.
How Dilution M1V1=M2V2 works
Solve V2 from the dilution relation M1V1=M2V2 given stock and target concentrations. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1
- Final volume V2 (L)
- Final solution volume after dilution.
Limitations and assumptions
- Concentration conversions require an unambiguous amount basis, solution volume, density, purity, and temperature. Volumes may not be additive, and molarity, molality, formality, equivalents, and mass fraction are not interchangeable.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
Check units and significant figures, compare the result with limiting cases, and use measured or source-specific constants where available. Laboratory, safety, and regulatory decisions require validated methods and appropriate uncertainty analysis.
