I was pulling my hair out trying to understand this the way my lecturers explained it. I GET IT NOW. Thank you so

This video explained everything so well! Why do my teachers over complicate everything? They should just show us these videos in class, it would make studying way easier.

Does this equation really hold for concentration variables other than molarity or mass-volume percent? I was doing some numbers and at least for mass-mass percent it seems that this relation along with the constraint of constant solute mass (or moles) implies that the density of the first solution equals the density of the second one, which could be a non-negligible source of error.

wow wow wow man God bless you who knew you could it this simple while my teacher was speaking

Hey i have a doubt
I have a 0.1% concentrated topical finasteride solution which is given in a 60ml container and i want to convert it to 0.005% concentrated solution. Can you provide how much distilled water i need add to the 0.1% ? Is it 1140ml water + 60ml of 0.1% ?, 95ml water + 5ml of 0.1% ? Can you please provide the answer?
