Meant to be used in both the teaching and research laboratory, this calculator (see below) can be utilized to perform dilution calculations when working with molar or percent (%) solutions using the formula C1V1=C2V2, also known as M1V1=M2V2. All four parameters of the equation can be calculated. See our Molar Solution Concentration Calculator for a definition of molarity and molar solutions. See also our Percent (%) Solutions Calculator for a definition of percent solutions. When working with % solutions, the concentration unit must be % for both the stock concentrated solution and final diluted solution. Additional dilution calculators are also available and are suited to more specialized applications (see here).
If you wish to perform dilution factor or fold dilution calculations for solutions with molarity or percent concentration units, use our Dilution Factor Calculator - Molarity, Percent.
If you are starting with the solid material and wish to make a solution with the concentration expressed in molarity, use our Molar Solution Concentration Calculator.
If you are starting with the solid or liquid material and wish to make a weight/volume %, weight/weight %, or volume/volume % solution, use our Percent Solution Concentration Calculator (w/v %, w/w %, and w/v %).
