There is no cas number on the label but here is the label anyhow

And here is the MSDS from their website: MSDS

Excellent, from the information from the MSDS the Density is 1.18 gram/ml and the percent is 26 - 30% base on that information you have a 8.42 to 9.71 molar solution. I will use the higher concentration to calculate your 4% and your 5% solution. Also going to make a liter or 100 ml solution calculation.

The formula is M1V1 = M2V2

the 4 % is 1.09 molar and the 5% is 1.37 Molar
So Replacing Values

for 4 % is (9.71)(X)=(1.09)(1000)
X = 112 ml in one liter or 11 ml in 100 ml

For 5% is (9.71)(X)=(1.37)(1000)
X= 141 ml in one liter or 14 ml in 100 ml

To prepare the solution you need to add 112 ml to a 500 ml then add the extra water to the mark of 1 liter. Same apply to 100, put 50 ml then add the 11 ml and then add the extra water to complete the 100ml. Be sure that the final volume is always equal to 1 liter or 100 ml no more.

Thanks a lot,
I did the dilution and tried it out. It activates much slower and how I expect compared to the dilution I did before.

I tried it and it tastes much better than citric acid.

Thanks
