Two liters diluted 1:4 would give you a total of 8 liters of solution (if you diluted the entire stock solution) What you want to say is that you will make a 2.5x dilution of your stock solution (take one gallon and dilute it to 2.5 gallons) Having said that, you still might not be able to do what you want to do. You will be making a higher concentrated solution. Some of the components of D-76 might be less solluble than others. As the solution cools, you might percipitate some solids out that would effectively change the formulation. Anyone else have experience here? Jeff Subject: [Leica] Really simple chemistry question D76 My pack of D-76 powder says "makes 5 litres". I only have a 2 litre airtight bottle. Can I disolve it in 2 litres and then dilute it 1:4 instead of the 1:1 if I had made it up to the correct volume? Don't laugh, it's a genuine question!
