Quick Answer: The standard dilution relationship is C1V1 = C2V2, where concentration times volume stays constant before and after dilution if the amount of solute is conserved.
Formula
C1 x V1 = C2 x V2
| Variable | Meaning | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| C1 | Initial or stock concentration | any consistent concentration unit |
| V1 | Initial stock volume used | mL, L, or any consistent volume unit |
| C2 | Final concentration | same as C1 |
| V2 | Final total volume | same family as V1 |
