Quickly determine the exact volumes and concentrations needed to dilute a stock solution. The Dilution Calculator uses the standard equation to instantly solve for any missing variable, ensuring perfect laboratory preparations.
The Dilution Equation
Dilution involves adding solvent (usually water) to a concentrated stock solution to achieve a desired lower concentration. Because the number of moles of solute does not change during dilution, the product of molarity and volume remains constant.

Initial Molarity (Concentration)=
Initial Volume=
Final Molarity=
Final VolumeHow to Use
Simply leave exactly one field blank (either Initial Concentration, Initial Volume, Final Concentration, or Final Volume). The calculator will automatically solve for the empty field. Ensure your volume units match (e.g., both in mL or both in L) for accurate results.
