Iron III Nitrate
Hi all,
Do I need to make up Iron III Nitrate fresh?
The prac is called "reversible and irreversible reactions", being used with Cobalt Chloride, Potassium Thiocyanate, Mg ribbon, steel wool.
I have some stock solution made up, but who knows when it was made!!
Thanks
Helen

Re: Aluminium Chloride
Oh Helen - I just looked it up on Riskassess. That is nasty. Check on the SDS but you should be really well kitted out to handle it, including a respirator. Unless someone has some more specific information, I would get the PPE on and transfer it all to a larger, sealed container. Label it and arra...

Aluminium Chloride
Good morning,
I have a bottle of Aluminium Chloride in the Chemical storeroom that has cracked and the liquid has overflowed on to the shelf.
What is the best way to clean this up, please?
TIA

Re: Nail Biting
LOL , soak them in Methylated Spirits . Our Australian stuff contains a strong bittering agent ...not particularly non-hazardous though....but it stops Winoe's drinking it without poisoning them .Unlike America where they actually add Methanol . :whistling2: have to ask why a teacher would choose t...

Re: Nail Biting
Thanks Merilyn, but he was asking if we had anything on hand that he could use......not a commercial product.

Nail Biting
Hi all,
I have a teacher who has asked for something to paint onto jelly beans to deter the students from eating them.
Something like the solutions you can buy to discourage nail biting.
Any ideas of something we may have on hand????
TIA
Helen

Re: End User Declaration
Remlap, I'm at a private school. I do all the ordering and then my HOD signs the order form and our finance office pays the invoices. If legally, the end user is meant to sign, would that not be every teacher , or student, that uses it ? Does my legal responsibility end when I hand the Mg Ribbon to...

Re: End User Declaration
jodye, what type of school are you in, Dept of Ed or private? I do all the ordering for science but the accounts are definitely in the schools name. Actually, to clarify, I generate the orders and then I send it on to our SAM and she actually places the order! My head teacher has always signed the E...

Re: water bath
Hi all, I need to purchase a water bath. There's one that all the suppliers seem to sell that needs a hotplate to operate, are there any that operate independently? What are your suggestions for a good but reasonably priced unit? Under or around $1000.00? :thumbup: Thanks Helen. What size are you a...

Acidified Potassium Permanganate
Hi all,
I have done a search here and found a couple of recipes, but does anyone have a tried and true recipe for acidified potassium permanganate?
I need it for Friday, so should it be made up freshly on Friday morning?
TIA,
Helen
