A volumetric instrument serving as a universal mixture maker. The instrument comprises fixed-shape solute cups that can be submerged in and fastened to solvent containers. The design allows a human operator to run an iterative method which finds a solution to a set of multivariate equations that would otherwise require situation-specific analytical calculations and the use of weighing scales. The iterative method can solve for one or more variables including solute volume, solvent volume, final mixture volume, and final solute concentration level. Cups and containers act as a mechanical calculator with a single parameter for the operator to manually adjust: how much of a solute cup to submerge in a solvent container. The mechanical calculator reduces mixture equations down to two markings for the operator to visually align: an output mixture marking on a cup, and a volumetric marking on a container.
A mixture maker for mixing a solvent with one or more solutes to create a resultant mixture, comprising:
An iterative method for preparing a mixture at desired concentration levels, from a solvent and one or more solutes, with a fixed-shaped container and one or more fixed-shaped cups, without the use of weighing scales and analytic formulae, comprising the steps of:
