Solution Dilution (M₁V₁ = M₂V₂)
Chemistry
Intro: Solve for any one of M1, V1, M2, or V2 given the other three.
Worked example
- M1=2.0 M, V1=0.25 L, M2=0.50 M
- Start from $M_1V_1=M_2V_2$.
- Solve for $V_2$: $V_2=\dfrac{M_1V_1}{M_2}$.
- Compute numerator: $M_1V_1=2.0\times0.25=0.50$.
- Divide: $V_2=0.50/0.50=1.0\,\mathrm{L}$.
- Answer: $\boxed{V_2=1.0\,\text{L}}$.
FAQs
Units for volume?
Use consistent volume units on both sides (e.g., L and L).
