Dilution Equation with Added Volume
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 sum of the intial volume and the added volume.
