Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on
convert-me.com FaceBook pageThank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

could you help me calculate how much volume of 2500mg/l solution of chlorine at a rate of 3mg/l would be added to 3 million litres of water.

Approach 1. For 3E6 L of solution:
3 mg/L x 3E6 L = 9000 g Cl
All the Cl comes from the bleach solution, at its concentration
9000 g / 2500 mg/L = 3600 L
Note this makes 3E6 L of total solution counting the 3600 L of bleach. only (3E6 - 3600) L of water were used.
3600 L Cl solution/ 2 996 400 L H2O x 3E6 L H2O = 3604 L
Approach 2
2500 mg/L / 3 mg/L = 833.333 x too strong
You want to dilute each part of Cl solution with 832.333 parts water (to make 833.333 parts total)
1E6/832.333 = 3604. L

Oops. Last line should read "3E6/832.333 = 3604. L"
Math was right, typing was not.
