1. What is a Bleach Dilution Calculator?

Definition: This calculator determines the required volume of bleach to achieve a desired chlorine concentration in a mixture based on bleach concentration and desired volume.

Purpose: It ensures safe and effective dilution for cleaning, disinfection, or other applications, preventing overuse or underuse of bleach.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formulas:

\[ \text{Amount of bleach needed} = \text{Desired concentration of mixture} \times \text{Desired volume of mixture} \] \[ \text{Volume of bleach needed} = (\text{Bleach amount needed} \times 0.00105) \times \left(\frac{100}{\text{Bleach concentration}}\right) \]

Explanation: Enter the bleach concentration (%), desired chlorine concentration (g/L, g/dL, mg/L, mg/dL, or ppm), and desired volume (e.g., milliliters, liters, etc.). The calculator converts units and computes the required bleach volume.

3. Importance of Bleach Dilution

Details: Proper dilution ensures effective disinfection while avoiding waste or harm from excessive bleach, critical for safety and efficiency in household or industrial use.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Input bleach concentration (e.g., 5%), desired chlorine concentration (e.g., 200 mg/L), and desired volume (e.g., 1 liter). Select appropriate units for concentration and volume from the dropdowns.
