Hi all,
I’m currently scratching my head trying to work this out. My average at best chemistry knowledge is being tested.
I’m looking to make a liquid solution from dry Potassium Sulphate to cure a potassium deficiency in my aquarium.
I’d like to pre-dissolve the dry powder in a water solution so that I can apply it to the aquarium via a dosing pump.
I’m looking to use something like this:
Potassium Sulphate
Now my question is how do I calculate how much dry potassium sulphate powder to add to 500ml of water to yeild a concentration of 1ppm of K per 100L of water after adding 1ml of the solution?
I’m not even sure that would be a workable concentration, but hopefully you get the idea. Unfortunately I’ve spent many years as an electrical engineer and chemistry is certainly not my strong point!
