SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the preparation of a 10,000ppm hypochlorite solution, specifically using Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) with a stock concentration of 12%. To achieve this concentration, one must consider the density of the liquid form of hypochlorite to accurately calculate the volume needed for dilution. The consensus is that 1ppm is equivalent to 1mg/L, and appropriate dilution from the 12% stock solution is necessary to reach the desired concentration.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of ppm (parts per million) and its relation to mg/L
  • Knowledge of Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) properties and concentrations
  • Basic principles of solution preparation and dilution
  • Familiarity with density calculations for liquids
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn how to calculate dilution factors for solution preparation
  • Research the properties and applications of Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl)
  • Study density determination methods for liquid solutions
  • Explore the implications of concentration units in chemical solutions
USEFUL FOR

Chemists, laboratory technicians, and anyone involved in preparing chemical solutions, particularly those working with Sodium hypochlorite for disinfection or water treatment purposes.

I have to make a solution of 10,000ppm hypochlorite, since 1ppm is like 1mg/l for a solute in water solution. Does this mean that i have to add 10,000mg hypochlorite in 1liter water? If hypochlorite is in a liquid form, should i take into account its density and from that to find the volume i add to the water to get a total of 1 litre?

Besides; Is 1ppm the same like 1mg/l ? Or does it depend in other factors like both the densities of the solute and solvent? :frown:


Hope for ideas. THanks.

Yes, you should consider its density to calculate the final mass, from there add the required amount (10.00 mg) to fill up a one liter of solution, which will give you a 10.00 ppm solution.
 
The one i use is Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), with a stock concentration of 12%. Will you please show me how to make 10,000ppm hypochlorite from a 12% stock? It does not have density, i think.
 
It has density, as every other liquid. However, I can't find a table at the moment :(

If your concentration (12%) is 12 grams of solute in 100 mL of solution, then we know the density. From there, you'll find the concentration as 1.2x105 ppm if you recalculate. Appropriate dilution will give you what you need.

I think you are wrong. Could you show how to calculate the density in such a case?

I came.across a headline and read some of the article, so I was curious. Scientists discover that gold is a 'reactive metal' by accidentally creating a new material in the lab https://www.earth.com/news/discovery-that-gold-is-reactive-metal-by-creating-gold-hydride-in-lab-experiment/ From SLAC - A SLAC team unexpectedly formed gold hydride in an experiment that could pave the way for studying materials under extreme conditions like those found inside certain planets and stars undergoing...
