RE: Dilution question
You're welcome.
BTW another way of doing it (longer but easy to remember) would be:
Let's assume you need to mix 100ml 0.125% solution.
100ml x (1)0.125% = 0.125g / (2)10% = 1.25ml 10% + (3)98.75ml water = 100ml
0.125%
1 is to find how much solid compound you beed per given target volume
2 is to find how much original stock solution you need for fulfilling 1
3 is topping with water to target volume
