Formula & example

The relationship

nA=CAVAn_{\mathrm A}=C_{\mathrm A}V_{\mathrm A}
nAνA=nBνB\frac{n_{\mathrm A}}{\nu_{\mathrm A}}=\frac{n_{\mathrm B}}{\nu_{\mathrm B}}
CB=CAVAνBνAVBC_{\mathrm B}=\frac{C_{\mathrm A}V_{\mathrm A}\nu_{\mathrm B}}{\nu_{\mathrm A}V_{\mathrm B}}

0.1016 mol dm⁻³

Follow the example steps
  1. V_A = 0.025 dm³; n_A = C_AV_A = 0.1 × 0.025 = 0.0025 mol
  2. n_A/ν_A = n_B/ν_B, so n_B = 0.0025 × 1/1 = 0.0025 mol
  3. V_B = 0.0246 dm³; C_B = n_B/V_B = 0.0025 / 0.0246 = 0.101626 mol dm⁻³
  4. Suggested reporting from the measured inputs: 0.1016 mol dm⁻³ (4 significant figures).

Common mistakes

Use the mole ratio from the balanced equation.

Incorrect approach

A + 2B → P; n_A = 0.001 mol: n_B = 0.001 mol

Correct approach

n_B = 2n_A = 0.002 mol

More checks before you submit
  • Do not assume equal moles unless the equation is 1:1.
  • Average concordant titres according to the method required by your course/teacher before substitution.
Method notes

This calculator assumes the endpoint volume represents equivalence for the stated stoichiometry. Acid–base and redox titrations can have coefficients other than 1:1.
