ilution is achieved by adding a solvent, usually water, to a more concentrated solution. The process increases the total volume of the solution while proportionally decreasing the concentration of the solute. The goal of dilution is to create a solution with a lower concentration that is suitable for a particular experiment, analysis, or application.

The process of dilution follows a simple mathematical relationship known as the dilution equation, which relates the initial concentration, initial volume, final concentration, and final volume of the solution. The dilution equation is expressed as:

C1V1 = C2V2

Where C1 and V1 represent the initial concentration and volume of the solution, and C2 and V2 represent the final concentration and volume of the diluted solution, respectively.

Dilution is often performed using volumetric glassware, such as volumetric flasks or pipettes, which allow precise measurements of volumes. Accurate measurements and careful mixing are important to ensure the desired concentration is achieved.
