document.write( "Question 1119792: If I'm using an 8-litre container in which I wish to mix Sodium Hypochlorite(SH) at 12% with water to give me a 1% mix. How much sodium Hypochlorite(SH) would I need to add?
\n" ); document.write( "My thinking is 80ml because 8 litres is 8000ml and 1% of 8000 is 80. Do I also need to take into consideration the strength of the Sodium Hypochlorite as in if the (SH) was a 10% strength that would give 1% but with it being 12% would that be a 1.2% mix? so is this a variable I have to take into consideration and if so how would I adjust depending on increased strengths of (SH)

If I'm using an 8-litre container in which I wish to mix Sodium Hypochlorite(SH) at 12% with water to give me a 1% mix. How much sodium Hypochlorite(SH) would I need to add?
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "You're right, the 8000 ml of solution would have 80 ml of SH.
\n" ); document.write( "80 ml of 12% --> 80/0.12 = 666.67 of the 12% and 8000 - 666.67 ml of water
\n" ); document.write( "
