For 1 l of water you can calculate the required amount of KOH pills (X) to achieve the desired concentration in wt% (Y) by:
For 1 l of water you can calculate the required amount of KOH pills (X) to achieve the desired concentration in wt% (Y) by:


(0.85 ∙X)/(X+1000g)=Y
                (0.85 ∙X)/(X+1000g)=Y


X=(Y∙1000g)/(0.85-Y)
                X=(Y∙1000g)/(0.85-Y)


So for a 10wt% solution you will need 133 g pills for each liter of water.

If you use the 50wt% premade solution you can calculate the amount of solution X you need to add 1 liter of water to achieve a concentration of Y wt% by:
If you use the 50wt% premade solution you can calculate the amount of solution X you need to add 1 liter of water to achieve a concentration of Y wt% by:


(0.5∙1.509 g/ml ∙X)/(X∙1.509 g/ml+1000g)=Y
              (0.5∙1.509 g/ml ∙X)/(X∙1.509 g/ml+1000g)=Y


X=(Y∙1000g)/(1.509 g/ml∙(0.5-Y))
                X=(Y∙1000g)/(1.509 g/ml∙(0.5-Y))


where 1.509 g/ml is the density of a 50wt% solution KOH at 20 °C.
