Ocean Solution: A Recipe for Success

How can we create a 28 ppt Instant Ocean solution from a 1000 ppt stock?

What are the steps to properly dilute the stock solution to achieve the desired concentration?

Creating a 28 ppt Instant Ocean Solution

To create a 28 ppt Instant Ocean solution from a 1000 ppt stock, we need to carefully dilute the stock solution with water. This process requires precise calculations and attention to detail.

Creating a 28 ppt Instant Ocean solution is a straightforward process that involves diluting the concentrated stock solution with water. By following the correct steps, you can achieve the desired concentration for your aquatic needs.

Calculations for Dilution

First, we need to understand the dilution formula, which is expressed as C1V1 = C2V2. In this formula:

• C1 represents the initial concentration of the stock solution (1000 ppt).
• V1 stands for the initial volume of the stock solution that we want to calculate.
• C2 is the final concentration we want to achieve (28 ppt).
• V2 is the final volume of the diluted solution (1 liter).

By rearranging the formula, we get V1 = (C2 * V2) / C1. Substituting the values gives us V1 = (28 ppt * 1 L) / 1000 ppt, which simplifies to V1 = 0.028 L or 28 milliliters.

Therefore, to prepare 1 liter of a 28 ppt Instant Ocean solution, mix 0.028 liters (or 28 milliliters) of the stock solution with water to reach the desired concentration. Remember to always mix thoroughly for uniformity.
