Dilution Equation

Dilution is a reduction in the pH of a chemical (gas, vapor, solution). It is the process of decreasing the concentration of a solute in solution, usually simply by mixing with more solvent. To dilute a solution means to add more solvent without the addition of more solute.

The initial concentration times the intial volume equals the final concentration times the final volume.

Formula

QuantityVariable[Subscript["C", "i"], "Molarity"]*QuantityVariable[Subscript["V", "i"], "Volume"] == QuantityVariable[Subscript["C", "f"], "Molarity"]*QuantityVariable[Subscript["V", "f"], "Volume"]

symbol description physical quantity
Ci initial concentration "Molarity"
Vi initial volume "Volume"
Cf final concentration "Molarity"
Vf final volume (total) "Volume"
