Mixing Ratio

Calculate and extrapolate the ratio, when mixing different substances. The mixing ratio describes, how much of each substance is in a mixture. The quantity unit must be the same for each substance (e.g. grams or liters). Please enter up to 10 substance quantities and click Calculate, the total quantity and the percentual values will be calculated. Example fills the first five values with random integers between 1 and 100. The names of the substances can be changed.

Multiply with multiplies at a click on = every quantity with the set value, preset is 2. Divide by works accordingly. If every quantity should be changed is a way, that one substance will get a certain quantity or percentage, then it can be multiplied by the corresponding ratio. If for example a substance quantity should change from 7 to 9, enter From 7 to 9 and click Ratio.

Example: Steel is a composition of iron and other chemical elements. The proportions are given in percent by mass. An example of stainless steel is 69 percent iron, 18 percent chromium, 10 percent nickel, 2 percent molybdenum and one percent carbon. If you want to extrapolate this 100 percent to, say, 800 grams, you either multiply by 8 or calculate the ratio from 100 to 800. This calculation will be done when clicking the button Example.

The mixing ratio of the substances poured together is, of course, only valid if they do not react chemically with each other. For example, if you pour hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide into a container together, the two will react violently, and you will not get a mixture of them, but salt water, possibly with a residue of one of these two starting materials, if there is no reactant left for it.
