How many ml of water should I add to a 5 ml NaOCl ( 5.25%) to make it 1.0%. Thank you.
you want to dilute it 5.25/1.0 times
That means 4.25 parts water, one part NaOCl.
if one part if 5ml, add 4.25*5ml water.
thank you bobpursley
To determine how many milliliters (ml) of water should be added to the 5 ml of NaOCl (5.25%) to make it a 1.0% solution, we need to use a dilution formula. The formula for dilution is:
C1V1 = C2V2
Where:
C1 = initial concentration of the NaOCl solution (5.25%)
V1 = initial volume of the NaOCl solution (5 ml)
C2 = final desired concentration of the NaOCl solution (1.0%)
V2 = final desired volume of the NaOCl solution (5 ml + volume of water)
We can rearrange the formula to solve for V2:
V2 = (C1V1) / C2
Plug in the values to calculate the volume of the final solution:
V2 = (5.25% * 5 ml) / 1.0%
V2 = 26.25 ml / 1.0%
V2 = 2625 ml / 100
V2 = 26.25 ml
Therefore, to make a 1.0% NaOCl solution using the original 5 ml of 5.25% NaOCl solution, you would need to add approximately 26.25 ml of water.
