Re: Hydrochloric Acid
So 2M is 200mls per liter . If you had 500lms of 1M it would contain 50mls HCl and 450mls of water Therefore you would need to add 150mls of HCl and 350mls of water to make it up to a liter . If you had 750 mls of 1M it would contain 75mls HCl and 675mls of water . Therefore you need to add 125 mls...

Try making the blue water with either blue ink or blue paint and then freezing.
