What it does
- Molarity —
mass = concentration × volume × MW. Enter a molecular weight and any two of mass / concentration / volume; solve for the third (e.g. NaCl, MW 58.44 → 2.922 g for 500 mL of 100 mM). - Dilution —
C₁V₁ = C₂V₂. Solve for any of the four, and it tells you how much diluent to add. - Serial dilution — start concentration + fold + number of points → the full concentration ladder.
Every field has a unit selector (M/mM/µM/nM/pM, L/mL/µL, g/mg/µg/ng) and the beaker fills/colors to match volume and concentration.

Frequently asked questions
- Is there a free molarity and dilution calculator?
- Yes. The 37degrees Molarity & Dilution Calculator is free and runs entirely in your browser with no login. Solve for mass, molarity, or volume, run C1V1 = C2V2 dilutions, and lay out serial dilutions with everything updating live.
- What is the C1V1 = C2V2 dilution formula?
- C1V1 = C2V2 is the dilution equation, where C1 and V1 are the concentration and volume of the stock solution and C2 and V2 are the concentration and volume of the final diluted solution. Knowing any three values lets you solve for the fourth.
- How do I calculate how much to weigh for a target molarity?
- Mass equals molarity multiplied by volume multiplied by molecular weight. Enter your target molarity, final volume, and the compound's molecular weight, and the calculator returns the grams to weigh out.
