In dilutions the amount of solute is held constant, but the volume is changed. Since (concentration)(volume) is equal to the amount of solute, we can derive an expression: M1V1=M2V2 where M represents molarity in mol/L and V is volume of the solution in Liters. THIS ONLY WORKS FOR DILUTIONS. Show you work and use the Molarity Simulation to check your answers. If you wanted 0.80L of a 0.25 M CuSO4 solution, what volume of 1.0 M CuSO4 solution would you dilute?
