Diluting solutions
The concentration of a solution is typically reported by molarity. Molarity (M) is the concentration of the solute based on moles of solute per liter of solution. A solution of higher concentration may be diluted to create a solution of lesser concentration. In order to perform these calculations the molarity and volume of the first solution are set equal to that of the second solution as shown:
{eq}M_1 \times V_1 = M_2 \times V_2{/eq}
