Simulating a pool system - concentrations help

[Apollonian]

Homework Statement

For part of my course I have to simulate a pool. In the pool there will be a 40ppm solution of cyanuric acid, a 1ppm solution of chlorine (sodium hypochlorite) and a buffer (i have no idea of the compound so its moot trying to figure it out)
I have been given a figure of 125g/L of availible chlorine. The question is how do i incorporate this into my concentration needed; but more importantly, is my volume of chlorine correct for the dilution?
(C1 and V2 are 1 mole and 1000mg/L respectively

Homework Equations

3. The Attempt at a Solution [/]
C1V1=C2V2
1ppm of sodium hypochlorite in moles is .001/74.442 =1.34 x 10^-5 approx
thus V1= 1.34 x 10^-5 x 1000
thus V1 = 0.0134mL

1 ppm = 1 mg/L
Given 125 ppm
Wanted to be reduced to 1 ppm
You have no data of the amount of Chlorine, e.g. 1L, you have and the amount of water you need in the pool...

I 500ml of chlorine. I need 1 litre of water. I just need to make a stock solution of 1ppm of chlorine to add to 1 litre of distilled water.

We are still waiting for a first comprehensible post in the thread.

As a scientist, my response would be to first clarify the purpose of the simulation. Is it to understand the chemical reactions happening in the pool system or to determine the appropriate concentrations for pool maintenance? This will help guide the approach to the problem.

Assuming the goal is to determine the appropriate concentrations for pool maintenance, the first step would be to calculate the amount of chlorine needed for the pool based on its volume. This can be done using the given figure of 125g/L of available chlorine and the formula C1V1=C2V2, as shown in the attempt at a solution.

Next, it is important to consider the dilution factor and the desired concentration of chlorine in the pool. This will depend on factors such as the size of the pool, frequency of use, and environmental conditions. It may be helpful to consult with a pool maintenance expert to determine the appropriate concentration of chlorine for the specific pool being simulated.

As for the other components in the pool, such as cyanuric acid and buffer, it is important to also consider their concentrations and how they may interact with the chlorine. This can be done through research and understanding of the chemistry involved.

Overall, simulating a pool system involves considering multiple factors and their interactions. It is important to have a clear understanding of the purpose of the simulation and to consult with experts in the field to ensure accurate and appropriate results.
