No matter what chemicals you are working with – dilution is key to safety, and performance. If you over-dilute your chemicals you could be wasting product, time, and money and get incorrect results. If you under-dilute your chemicals you could be at risk of having a mixture of solution with a high risk of fume injury and/or chemical burns as well as damage to the surfaces you are cleaning. Action Unlimited Resources takes safety very seriously and has created this chart in order to assure you utilize cleaning supplies in the safest and most effective manner possible.
As you can see from the chart, there are various dilution ratios depending upon the amount of solution you are hoping to produce. To break it down into simple terms; The dilution ratio is made up of “parts” – for example, a ratio of 1:4 means 1 part of chemical or cleaning product you are working with and 4 parts of water. To find out the ratio for a gallon of water you would break it down into ounces first – 128 ounces make up a gallon. Next, you would divide that number by the ratio (the 4 parts from our original ratio). This leaves us with 32 – meaning you would need to add 32 ounces of chemicals or cleaning product to the gallon of water. To make this easier we could convert that 32 ounces into cups – which would leave us adding 4 cups of chemicals or cleaning product to our gallon of water. Reading the directions for dilution on the bottle of any product you can follow these steps to figure out the formula for the perfect dilution for a project of any size.
Diluting chemicals is a delicate science. A common mistake individuals make is assuming that making a stronger mixture will do a better job. A few reasons that this is NOT a good idea are the environmental and cost impact of the waste of products, the danger factor, poor performance, and the damage it could do to what your cleaning, as well as the tools and equipment used to clean with. Last and most important thing to note is that cleaning products do not clean as well when they are improperly diluted. This makes all your effort for nothing.
It is extremely important to learn how to calculate dilution ratios when cleaning facilities. There are risks when you use cleaning chemicals without diluting them properly – for workers handling the product and individuals inhabiting the facility after the products have been used.

To break it down into simple terms; The dilution ratio

Dilution factor
The "dilution factor" is an expression which describes the ratio of the aliquot volume to the final volume. Dilution factor is a notation often used in commercial assays.
is made up of “parts” – for example, a ratio of 1:4 means 1 part of chemical or cleaning product you are working with and 4 parts of water. To find out the ratio for a gallon of water you would break it down into ounces first – 128 ounces make up a gallon.
Dilution is the process of decreasing the concentration of a solute in a solution, usually simply by mixing with more solvent like adding more water to the solution. To dilute a solution means to add more solvent without the addition of more solute.
To make a fixed amount of a dilute solution from a stock solution, you can use the formula: C1V1 = C2V2 where: V1 = Volume of stock solution needed to make the new solution. C1 = Concentration of stock solution.
diluted material must then be thoroughly mixed to achieve the true dilution. For example, a 1:5 dilution (verbalize as "1 to 5" dilution) entails combining 1 unit volume of diluent (the material to be diluted) + 4 unit volumes of the solvent medium (hence, 1 + 4 = 5 = dilution factor).
Dilution requires the thorough mixing of a small, accurately measured sample with a large volume of sterile water, saline or other appropriate liquid called the diluent or a dilution blank.
In general when your are mixing two different concentrations together first calculate number of moles for each solution (n=CV ,V-in liter) then add them together it will be total moles,then concentration of mixture will be = total moles / total volume(liter). Molarity is equal to the total number of moles in liter.
Simple Dilution (Dilution Factor Method based on ratios)
For example, a 1:5 dilution (verbalize as "1 to 5" dilution) entails combining 1 unit volume of solute (the material to be diluted) + 4 unit volumes of the solvent medium (hence, 1 + 4 = 5 = dilution factor).
Add liquid concentrate to diluting liquid - never the other way round, unless the instructions say so. Make a thin paste of powders with a small amount of diluting liquid,then dilute as for liquids.
By adding more solute it can be converted into a concentrated solution.By adding more solvent it can be converted into a dilute solution. For example, Conc. Sulphuric acid and Conc, hydrochloric acid.
When manually mixing chemical, it is important to always add water before you add the concentrated chemical in order to minimize chemical splash and foam. As with any chemical, always read the Safety Data Sheet before use and be sure to wear the proper PPE, such as gloves and eye protection.
Typically, mixing rules consider an isotropic medium of dielectric permittivity em and volume fraction vm filled with spheroids of permittivity ef and volume fraction Vf = 1 — vm.
When we talk about mixing ratio, we mean the amount of each substance in a mixture compared to the total amount of the mixture. The amount of a given substance can be expressed as a percent of the full 100% of a mixture. If there are multiple substances in a mixture, their percentages must also add up to 100%.
Mixing processes are general operations in industrial process engineering. The main goal of these processes is to make a heterogeneous physical system hom*ogeneous by using manipulating operations. Generally, efficient mixing can be challenging to achieve, especially on an industrial scale.
The effectiveness of a mixing process is determined by the flow rate of the liquid which in turn determines how much of a reagent/additive is solubilised into the system. There are two main types of fluidic flow- laminar (uniform and non-uniform) and turbulent flow.
When one substance dissolves into another, a solution is formed. A solution is a hom*ogenous mixture consisting of a solute dissolved into a solvent. The solute is the substance that is being dissolved, while the solvent is the dissolving medium.
Reconstitution is the process of adding a liquid diluent to a dry ingredient to make a specific concentration of liquid. See Figure 5.9 for an example of a vial of medication that requires reconstitution.
