Hey Everybody,
Got 1 gal. solution of ...
7% iodine
80% ipa
13% h2o
From the notes I've read here...to make enough HgI2 for a 1x MM alhg, one plops .3-.5g Hg (l) into a 30ml solution of 2% iodine tincture...shake and bake. Now, my questions are...
1) I'm sure I should use 99% ipa to dillute the solution down to 2%, no? Any other suggestions...MeOH or EtOH?
2) After the solution is dilluted down to 2% iodine, its still going to be ~3-4% water. Is this going to be a problem
adding this extra h2o to a 1x MM al-hg rxn.?
Cheers...a
