Molarity Dilution Calculator

How to Use the Molarity Dilution Calculator

This guide will walk you through the steps to calculate the final molarity, dilution factor, and volume of solvent needed using the Molarity Dilution Calculator. This tool is useful for determining concentrations after diluting a solution.

Step 1: Enter the Initial Molarity

• Look for the input field labeled Initial Molarity (M₁).
• Enter the initial molarity value in molarity units (M).
• You must provide a value that is between the minimum of 0.000001 M and a maximum of 1000 M.

Step 2: Input the Initial Volume

• Find the input field labeled Initial Volume (V₁) in mL.
• Type in the initial volume of your solution in milliliters (mL).
• The volume should be within the range of 0.01 mL to 10000 mL.

Step 3: Specify the Final Volume

• Locate the input field labeled Final Volume (V₂) in mL.
• Enter the desired final volume after dilution in milliliters (mL).
• Ensure the entered value is also between 0.01 mL and 10000 mL.

Step 4: View the Results

Once all fields are filled out with valid values, the calculator will display the results for you:

• Final Molarity (M₂): The diluted molarity of the solution, calculated as (initialMolarity * initialVolume) / finalVolume. The result is displayed with six decimal places and in molarity units (M).
• Dilution Factor: This value represents the factor by which the solution has been diluted, computed as finalVolume / initialVolume. It is presented with two decimal places.
• Volume of Solvent to Add: This result shows how much solvent (in mL) needs to be added to achieve the desired dilution, calculated as finalVolume – initialVolume. The output is rounded to two decimal places.

Make sure to double-check all results to ensure accuracy. This calculator is a great tool for simplifying dilution calculations and ensuring correct solution concentrations in your experiments.
