Dilution
Dilution reduces concentration by increasing solution volume while retaining the relevant quantity of solute, subject to the assumptions of the calculation. Consistent units and concentration bases are necessary.
Reading example
For C₁V₁ = C₂V₂, a 10 mg/mL stock targeting 2 mg/mL in 25 mL final volume requires 5 mL stock. Follow the laboratory method to establish final volume. Dilution cannot exceed stock concentration.
