How to Use the Dilution Ratio Calculator
Here’s how to use our dilution ration calculator:
- Enter the Dilution Ratio:
- Input the ratio in the format Part1:Part2 (e.g., 1:10).
- Specify the Container Size:
- Enter the total volume of the final solution in milliliters (mL).
- Click Calculate:
- The calculator will display the required volumes of concentrated solution and water.
Example Calculation
Suppose you need to prepare 500 mL of a solution with a dilution ratio of 1:5. Here’s how the calculator works:
- Inputs:
- Dilution Ratio: 1:5
- Container Size: 500 mL
- Calculations:
- Concentrated Volume = 500 × (1 / (1 + 5)) = 83.33 mL
- Water Volume = 500 – 83.33 = 416.67 mL
- Result:
- Mix 83.33 mL of concentrated solution with 416.67 mL of water to achieve the desired dilution.
