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.
