Hi all, I know it's stupid, but I forgot to label some bottles with HCL, HNO3, and H2O2.
Because of a death in the family, I had to drop what ever I was doing and 3 months later I'm not sure anymore what liquid is in what bottle. I was in the process of putting half empty bottles together and labeling them, and I was dilluting the hydrogen peroxide.
Now I have to do some tests to identify and properly label the bottles. Would it work to use a piece of copper to identify HCL and nitric acid ?
But then, I have some bottles with 35, 30 and 3 H2O2. Does anybody have a suggetion on how to determine if the H2O2 is dilluted or not ? I might get some nasty surprises if I use the wrong strenght for certain processes.
