Haven't learned this in chemistry yet, but I plan to go DIY for dosing. What is the formula to convert grams of any bicarbonate source (I'm using sodium acetate and sodium hydroxide) to meq/L or ppm (whichever is simpler)? I'm trying to get 4,000 meq/L of Alk. in a 1L solution for each acetate and hydroxide. Probably not happening with sodium hydroxide because I also plan to put calcium chloride (so basically kalk) in the same solution so I might end up having heavy precipitate, but I know I can achieve 4,000 meq/L of Alk. with sodium acetate and calcium chloride without it precipitating. Just don't know how much sodium acetate to put. From there, I can calculate how much Ca, Mg, and Sr to put. Just an experiment I'm doing.
