73.9g NiO + 192.3ml 32% HCl = plate of soggy green crap that WILL NOT DRY.
I noticed that it melts into a thick, clear green liquid when heated and upon cooling crystallizes into a crusty bright green paste with a little extra neon green fluid running around...
How do I get this to a point where it can be accurately measured for subsequent reactions?
Is this NiCl2.6H2O?
[edit]
Ok.. that last little bit finally solidified, I poked it
a few times, doesn't seem to be any more fluid left...
Tastes like green apple jolly ranchers...
