Calculate dilutions quickly and easily with this online dilution calculator. It supports both mass/volume and molarity calculations.
How to Use
-
Select Units: Choose either “Mass/Volume Units” or “Molarity Units” depending on your needs.
-
Enter Values: Input the known values for stock concentration/molarity, volume from stock, final concentration/molarity, and final solution volume. Leave one field blank to calculate its value.
-
Select Units: Make sure to select the correct units for each input field (e.g., g/mL, mL, M, µL).
-
Calculate: Click the “Calculate” button.
-
View Result: The calculated value will be displayed in the results area.
-
Clear: Click the “Clear All” button to reset the input fields.
Mass/Volume Dilutions
Use this section to calculate dilutions when working with mass and volume units. The calculator uses the formula C1V1 = C2V2, where:
- C1 = Stock concentration
- V1 = Volume from stock
- C2 = Final concentration
- V2 = Final solution volume
Molarity Dilutions
Use this section to calculate dilutions when working with molarity units. The same formula (M1V1 = M2V2) is used, but with molarity (M) instead of concentration.
Important Notes
- This calculator assumes ideal solutions.
- Always use appropriate laboratory safety practices when working with chemicals.
- Double-check your calculations and units for accuracy.
- For complex or highly accurate dilutions, consider using more specialized laboratory equipment and techniques.
