Hi Tom, I have a small jar of Sodium chlorite flakes. This is a dry crystalline product. I seem to remember that is is assayed at 28%.
How do I make a 5% solution from this? Say I want 1 litre of 5% NaClO 1 litre = 1000g and 5% x 1000 = 5/100 x 1000 = 50 so I need 50 g of actual NaClO in 1 litre water to have a 5% solution. Yes? Now the Sod Chlorite flakes only has 28% NaClO . ie There is 0.28 g of NaClO per 1 gram of flakes So to get 50g NaClO I need 50/0.28 = 179 gram of flakes ie 180 g flakes in 1 litre water = 5% solution Or is being too simple ?
