Exactly.  The molecular mass dissolved and made up to 1litre,  = a 1molar 
solution.  In this case 1.225x the MM will give you a litre of solution.  
Divide or multiply to give you the volume required.  The MM is usually on the 
bottle but you will almost certainly be able to look it up online.

So don't do chemistry. 8-)
