    Final Volume
AI Thread Summary
To achieve a higher concentration of calcium in a known volume of water, the equation C1V1 = C2V2 is essential. Here, C1 represents the initial concentration of calcium, V1 is the initial volume, C2 is the desired final concentration, and V2 is the total final volume after adding the second solution. To find the volume of the second solution needed, rearrange the equation to solve for V1. By substituting the known values into the equation, one can calculate the required volume of the second solution with a known concentration of calcium to reach the desired final concentration. This method allows for precise adjustments to achieve the target concentration without altering the concentration of the added solution.

Hi
I have a known volume of water with a known concentration of calcium.
I want to bring that volume up to a new (slightly) higher volume with a new (slightly) higher concentration. To do this I am adding a solution with a known concentration of Ca but cannot remember how to calculate the volume (of the second solution) I need to get to the final concentration. I cannot adjust the concentration of the second substance, I can only adjust the volume.
thanks

Use the equation: C1V1 = C2V2
 
I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
