Take 25 mL of the 1 mol/L stock and make it up to 250 mL (add 225 mL of solvent) to get 0.1 mol/L, a 10× dilution.

Moles of solute don't change
C1V1=C2V2=0.025mol
Any consistent concentration unit works because it cancels; the working here is in mol/L and litres.
Solve for V₁
V1=C1C2V2=1(0.1)(0.25)=0.025L

V2−V1=225mL
Strictly: make up to V₂ in a volumetric flask; volumes aren't always additive.
Dilution and molarity calculator 소개
Diluting a solution leaves the moles of solute unchanged, so C₁V₁ = C₂V₂: stock concentration times stock volume equals final concentration times final volume. Enter any three and the fourth follows, with the solvent to add and the dilution factor C₁/C₂. The other modes turn a weighed mass into molarity (n = m/M, c = n/V), % w/v and mg/L, give the mass to weigh for a target molarity, or find molality per kilogram of solvent.
The default makes 250 mL of 0.1 mol/L from a 1 mol/L stock: measure 25 mL of stock and make it up to 250 mL, a tenfold dilution.
Volumes of mixed liquids do not always add exactly, so make up to the final volume in a volumetric flask rather than adding the calculated solvent volume. The ppm figure is mg per litre of solution, which equals mg/kg only for dilute water-based solutions.

자주 묻는 질문
How do you use C1V1 = C2V2?
Write down the three values you know, use the same concentration unit on both sides and the same volume unit on both sides, and rearrange for the unknown. For 250 mL of 0.1 M from a 1 M stock, V₁ = C₂V₂ ÷ C₁ = 0.1 × 250 ÷ 1 = 25 mL of stock, made up to 250 mL with 225 mL of solvent. Because the units cancel, mmol/L or % work too.
What is the difference between molarity and molality?
Molarity (mol/L) is moles of solute per litre of solution; molality (mol/kg) is moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. Molality does not change with temperature because mass does not expand, which is why freezing-point and boiling-point calculations use it. For dilute water solutions the two are close: 58.44 g of NaCl in 2 kg of water is 0.5 mol/kg.
How do you calculate the mass needed to make a solution?
Multiply the target molarity by the volume in litres to get moles, then by the molar mass: m = c × V × M. For 500 mL of 0.2 M glucose (180.156 g/mol), 0.2 × 0.5 × 180.156 = 18.016 g. Dissolve it in less solvent than the final volume, then make up to the mark so the total is exactly 500 mL.
How do you convert molarity to ppm?
Multiply the molarity by the molar mass to get grams per litre, then by 1000 to get mg/L, which is ppm for dilute water solutions. A 0.001 M NaCl solution is 0.001 × 58.44 = 0.05844 g/L, or 58.44 ppm. Reading mg/L as ppm assumes a density of about 1 g/mL, so the two drift apart for concentrated or non-aqueous solutions.
What is a dilution factor?
It is the stock concentration divided by the final concentration, C₁/C₂, which equals the final volume divided by the stock volume, V₂/V₁. Making 25 mL up to 250 mL is a dilution factor of 10, often written 1:10, meaning 1 part stock in 10 parts total. Some labs write the same dilution as 1:9, meaning 1 part stock to 9 parts diluent, so check which convention a protocol uses.
“Dilution and molarity calculator”의 정확도는 어느 정도인가요?
정확도는 입력값과 계산 방법의 가정에 따라 달라집니다. 십진 연산은 유효숫자 50자리를 사용하지만, 추정값·수치해석 방법·원본 데이터의 정밀도는 더 낮을 수 있습니다. 표시값을 반올림해도 이러한 한계는 사라지지 않습니다. 독립적인 출처의 풀이와 대조한 계산 예시: 6. 예를 들어 “250 mL of 0.1 M from a 1 M stock”은 Python 3.8 decimal: V₁ = 0.1 × 250 / 1 = 25 mL (OpenStax Chem 2e §3.3 method)와 대조해 확인합니다.
