  • Standard Solution
    A concentrated mixture prepared for later use, often requiring dilution to achieve desired concentration for experiments.
  • Stock Solution
    A highly concentrated preparation stored for future dilution, ensuring consistent and accurate laboratory results.
  • Dilution
    A process involving the addition of solvent, typically water, to decrease the concentration of a solution.
  • Solvent
    A substance, commonly water, added to a solution to reduce its concentration without altering the amount of solute.
  • Concentration
    A measure of the amount of solute present in a given volume of solution, often indicated by color intensity.
  • Molarity
    A unit expressing the number of moles of solute per liter of solution, used to quantify concentration.
  • Dilution pipeline
    A sequence involving a concentrated solution, addition of solvent, and resulting in a less concentrated mixture.
  • Dilution Equation
    A mathematical relationship, M1V1 = M2V2, used to calculate concentrations and volumes before and after dilution.
  • Initial Volume
    The amount of solution present before any solvent is added during the dilution process.
  • Final Volume
    The total amount of solution after solvent has been added, representing the sum of initial volume and added solvent.
  • M1
    The molarity value representing the concentration of a solution before dilution, always higher than after dilution.
  • M2
    The molarity value representing the concentration of a solution after dilution, always lower than before dilution.
  • V1
    The volume of solution measured before any solvent is added in the dilution process.
  • V2
    The total volume of solution after dilution, calculated by adding the initial volume and the volume of solvent added.
