All temps in degrees F
not really asking for help figured this would be the best way to just double check myself.....
performed prior mixtures to make nitric and i figure i must have done it wrong in my previous attempts or missed a step.....
anyway
took sulphuric acid did a slow evap down to just below 40% of start value.... used sulfuric acid that was 36-38% sulfiric 98% 62-64% H2O
took distilled water brought to just below a boil mixed 200gm of ammonia nitrate( all i could get ahold of) throughout the temp rise due to the reaction of ammonia nitrate with H2O you know ex: instant cold pack....
did not allow to peak and boil but very slight evap....
ok now after allowing to cool to about 130 degrees placed outside 25 degrees and allowed to cool currently external temp is very low internal still at a room temp 70 degrees... and falling...
ok i know salts are suppose to form but i am getting a very heavy amount of salts. i broke up to free up any locked in liquid. and currently allowing to cool...
i followed every step it all looks right to me... if i am wrong let me know.... if i am right on the mark let me know...
but to curious what do you think the chemical composition of the salts may be....ammonium sulphate?????
ok i know this may stupid but after prior mistakes i am taking my self from square one and perfecting each process i perform before i take on the next step.....
