Dilution problem and solution

First we need to understand what a dilution is: A dilution is when you have a solution of a certain concentration and you add more solvent (remember: the substance that does the dissolving!) to decrease the concentration. If you are adding more solvent, the volume of the whole solution is going to increase as the concentration of the solution decreases. You can solve for the concentration or volume of the concentrated or dilute solution using the equation: M1V1 = M2V2, where M1 is the concentration in molarity (moles/Liters) of the concentrated solution, V2 is the volume of the concentrated solution, M2 is the concentration in molarity of the dilute solution (after more solvent has been added), and V2 is the volume of the dilute solution. #labCalculations #solutions #solvent #concentration
