Chemistry Help.
Hi all,
I am trying to figure out how much KNO3 to add to my tank so I can get about
5ppm of NO3 but chemistry is not that great. I gonna write what I got so
far, and if you all can tell me if I'm on the right track.
3 tablespoon KNO3 ~ 36.6g
200 ml water
Concentration of KNO3 in 200ml water - 36600 / 0.2 = 180000ppm
NO3 is 61% off KNO3.. so
180000 / 0.61 = 109800ppm of NO3 ....... right?
so if I take 1ml off this solution and add it to my 100 liter tank, What
will I get?
I can't seem to wrap my mind around the math on this one.
is this close?
(109800/1000) / 100l = 1.098 ppm
Thanks
Steve (whos head is big as a pumpkin right now)
