Title "Making up solutions"
Hm. I kind of dislike the title of this page, because it is vastly ambiguous. On one hand, it can mean "Constructing/building a chemical solution (i.e. water plus a dissolved compound)", but on the other hand it can also mean "Coming up with bogus answers to problems". How about ... Mixing solutions? Creating chemical solutions? ... -- Timwi 05:21, 20 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Anybody who understands chemistry understands the meaning of this title.


 * I agree with Timwi, I moved it to "Creating chemical solutions".--Patrick 12:42, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Brilliant!! I'm a lab tech and this information is very, very useful. Not always readily available on the internet if you have lost the book and you need to make a solution in a hurry-  if I get time I'll try add to it.

Solutions by volume or weight
For true novices, introducing the difference between weight and volume is important. This page has a decent introduction. ImperfectlyInformed (talk) 08:08, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
