What does equation V1 c1 v2 c2 stand for where c concentration and v is for volume?

Answer 1

v1= initial volume

c1= initial concentration

v2= final volume

c2= final concentration

For example, you have 10mL of an unknown substance with a concentration of 0,5mol/L. If you add 50mL, what will the final concentration be.

V1= 10mL

C1= 0,5mol/L

V2= 60mL

C2= x

10/0,5=60/x You must start by putting everything in the same mesure. We'll use mL here. So 0,5-->1000mL= 50-->10mL

50x60= 300

300/10= 30

30 is your C2

Answer 2

This equation represents the principle of dilution in chemistry. It states that the initial volume (V1) and concentration (c1) of a solution, when diluted by adding solvent to a final volume (V2), will result in a new concentration (c2) of the diluted solution. The product of the initial concentration and volume is equal to the product of the diluted concentration and volume.

Answer 3

This is a mathematical equation for determining dilutions. c1 * v1 = c2 * v2 initial concentration times initial volume equals final concentration time final volume.
