Dilution is the process of making a concentrated solution less concentrated. There are a variety of reasons why one might want to perform a dilution that range from serious to casual. For example, biochemists dilute solutions from their concentrated form to create new solutions for use in their experiments, while, at the other end of the spectrum, bartenders often dilute hard liquor with a soft drink or juice to make a cocktail more palatable. The formal formula for calculating a dilution is C1V1 = C2V2, where C1 and C2 represent the concentrations of the initial and final solutions, respectively, and V1 and V2 represent their volumes.
