Dilutions

Today in class we took notes over dilutions. A dilution is a series starting with a stock solution and adding water to form a new solution. The amount of solution moved from the stock to the next solution is referred to as an aliquot. In order to solve a problem with dilutions you use the formula M1V1=M2V2. The M stands for molarity, the starting and ending, and the V stand for total volume, staring and ending as well.
