Question

Is m1v1 equal to m2v2?​

Answer 1

Yes,  m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

• It is a concept that means the amount of moles in the solution remains constant whether you are changing the concentration of the solution or the volume of the solution.

• So by adding water to a solution with a certain morality of a certain molecule or ion, you are increasing the volume of the solution which in turn changes the molarity or concentration of that molecule or ion in the solution.

• You would typically use this equation for dilution problems.
