Calculate the amount of solute needed: Use the desired concentration and the volume of solution you want to prepare to calculate the amount of solute (substance being dissolved) required. This calculation involves using the formula:
Amount of solute (in grams or moles) = Concentration x Volume of solution

Weigh or measure the solute: Accurately measure the calculated amount of solute using a balance or other measuring instrument. Use proper lab techniques to ensure precision.

Transfer the solute to a container: Transfer the measured solute to an appropriate container, such as a beaker or flask. If necessary, use a funnel to avoid spillage.

Add the solvent: Add the solvent (usually water) to the container containing the solute. Use a graduated cylinder or pipette to measure the required volume accurately. Add the solvent slowly while stirring or swirling the container to aid in the dissolution of the solute.

Dissolve the solute: Stir or agitate the mixture gently to ensure the solute dissolves completely in the solvent. Use a glass stirring rod or magnetic stirrer, if available.

Transfer to a final container: Once the solute has dissolved completely, transfer the solution to the final container, such as a volumetric flask or storage bottle. Rinse the container and any equipment used to ensure all the solution is transferred.
