Salvaging mis-measured solutions. Adjusting mass &/or volume to still get the desired concentration
You can probably salvage that solution! How to adjust mass and/or volume to match what you have to still get the concentration you want.
Too much mass? Calculate volume
Measured mass/X = desired concentration
X = measured mass/desired concentration
Needed additional volume = X - current volume
Too much volume? Calculate mass
X/current volume = desired concentration
X = desired concentration x current volume
Extra mass needed = X - current mass
Alternatively, calculate the mass you need to add directly (rather than first finding total then subtracting).
To do that…
Extra volume = current volume - intended volume
Extra mass needed = extra volume x desired concentration
If adding that mass will not appreciably change the final volume, just add it.
If adding that mass would change the final volume, calculate mass for a higher volume with enough wiggle room. Add the mass for that, then adjust the volume to that higher volume.
