This calculator will help you determine how much full strength chemical is required to prepare a diluted chemical solution.
It involves the following calculation:
V1 = C2 X V2
C1
Where:
V1 = the required volume of full strength chemical
C2 = the desired concentration of the diluted chemical
V2 = the desired volume of the diluted chemical
C1 = the concentration of the full strength chemical
Example:
You are required to load a new water main with a 90 ppm solution (C2) of sodium hypochlorite. The strength of your full strength sodium hypochlorite (C1) is 110,000 ppm (1% = 10,000 ppm). You want to make a total of 2,500 liters (V2). You need to know how much full strength sodium hypochlorite (V1) to add to make 2,500 liters of 90 ppm solution.
Insert the values into the calculator so that:
C1 = 110,000
C2 = 90
V2 = 2,500
Your answer, V1, will be 2.05 liters of full strength sodium hypochlorite.
