Hello Tony, Most sodium chlorite flakes or powder are 80%. Are you sure yours is 28%?
To make a 5% solution from 80% powder of flakes you would put 62.5 grams of the flakes in a measuring container and add enough water to bring the total volume up to 1000 ml. This will end up being a 6.25%, by weight, solution, but since the flakes are only 80% pure it is actually a 5% sodium chlorite solution.

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 ?
