The question that you will be shown how to solve is:

"If 500ml of a 75% w/v aqueous solution of source are diluted to 1500ml, what will be the new % w/v concentration of the Sucrose solution?"

The long approach uses mainly the definition of percent weight in volume:

Percent weight in volume is the mass - in grams - of a component present in 100 millilitres of the total system".

"Percent weight in volume is the mass in grams of a component present in 100 millilitres of the total system".

The short approach uses the following equation:

where:
Concentration1 = Concentration of Original Solution
Quantity1 = Quantity (mass or volume) of Original Solution
Concentration2 = Concentration of New Solution
Quantity2 = Quantity (mass of volume) of New Solution
