Approach 1. For 3E6 L of solution:
3 mg/L x 3E6 L = 9000 g Cl
All the Cl comes from the bleach solution, at its concentration
9000 g / 2500 mg/L = 3600 L
Note this makes 3E6 L of total solution counting the 3600 L of bleach. only (3E6 - 3600) L of water were used.
3600 L Cl solution/ 2 996 400 L H2O x 3E6 L H2O = 3604 L
Approach 2
2500 mg/L / 3 mg/L = 833.333 x too strong
You want to dilute each part of Cl solution with 832.333 parts water (to make 833.333 parts total)
1E6/832.333 = 3604. L
