Chemical dilution
Estimate stock and diluent volumes for an ideal dilution.
Equation and assumptions
C₁V₁ = C₂V₂; Vstock = Ctarget × Vfinal / Cstock
Same solute and concentration basis. Volumes are assumed additive; density change, heat of mixing, chemical compatibility and safe handling are excluded. This is a mass-balance estimate, not a mixing procedure.
