Flow
  • Choose the reagent from compound options.
  • Enter target molarity, final volume, and material purity.
  • Use adjusted mass result as the weigh-out target for preparation.
Example

Worked example: 0.50 M NaOH, 250 mL, 98% purity

  1. 1 Pure mass = 0.50 × 0.250 × 40.00 = 5.00 g
  2. 2 Adjusted mass = 5.00 / 0.98 = 5.1020 g
  3. 3 Weigh 5.1020 g then dilute to 250 mL

Required weighed mass is approximately 5.10 g.

How
  1. Choose the reagent from compound options.
  2. Enter target molarity, final volume, and material purity.
  3. Use adjusted mass result as the weigh-out target for preparation.
Avoid
  • Treating purity as whole number instead of percentage.
  • Using stock solution concentration when this tool expects solid solute mass workflow.
  • Ignoring final-volume adjustment after dissolution.
FAQ
Does this support purity adjustment?

Yes. Enter reagent purity percentage to get adjusted weigh-out mass.

Should I dissolve then top up to final volume?

Yes. The target volume is the final solution volume after dilution.

Can I use this for analytical standards?

Yes, as long as reagent purity and molar mass are correct for your standard.
