Notas:

  • Copo = 200ml; colher de sopa = 10ml (ou 14-15 g).
  • O cloro pode corroer e danificar o metal. É por isso importante nunca preparar soluções de cloro em recipientes de metal (a menos que estejam devidamente esmaltados ou pintados), nem utilizar colheres de metal para medir ou para mexer. Recomenda-se a utilização de recipientes de plástico para a preparação das soluções de cloro e colheres de madeira para medir e mexer.
