In words:
[ ml / student ] x [ students / class ] x [ number of classes ] = [ total ml ]
and then,
[ total ml ] x [ liters / ml ] = [ total liters ]
------------------------------------------
+95%2A23%2A5+=+10925+ ml
and
+10925%2A%28+1%2F1000+%29+=+10.925+ liters
------------------------------------
If the acid comes in 1L bottles, then 11 bottles are needed
