Formula: Moles Conservation Equation: C1 * V1 = C2 * V2 ⇒ V1 = (C2 * V2) / C1. Solvent Volume = V2 - V1.

In-Depth Guide & Mathematical Methodology

🧪 Dilution Conservation Principle

Formula: C₁ × V₁ = C₂ × V₂

Solvent Added: V_solvent = V₂ - V₁

Safety First: Always add concentrated acid into water slowly while stirring.
