What is dilution?

Reducing concentration by adding water to a solution

What stays constant during dilution?

Total amount of solute particles

Dilution equation formula

c1V1=c2V2c_1V_1 = c_2V_2

In c1V1=c2V2c_1V_1 = c_2V_2, what is c1c_1?

Original (initial) concentration

In c1V1=c2V2c_1V_1 = c_2V_2, what is V2V_2?

Final (total) volume

Rearrange c1V1=c2V2c_1V_1 = c_2V_2 to find c2c_2

c2=c1V1V2c_2 = \frac{c_1V_1}{V_2}

To dilute by factor of xx, what happens to volume?

Increase volume by factor of xx

Units requirement in dilution equation

Same units on both sides of equation

Glassware for accurate dilutions

Pipettes and volumetric flasks

As concentration increases, what happens to colour intensity?

Colour intensity increases
