CL in Bleaching Powder
Calculation
mg of Cl2/mL (B) =(((V A ) or (V+A )×N×35.46))/(mL of bleaching powder solution take
n)
1000 mL of bleaching powder solution contains 1000 × B mg of Cl2
i.e., 1000 mg bleaching powder contains 1000 B mg of Cl2
therefore, 100 mg of bleaching powder contains =1000*B/10
