4g in 96mL water would be more precise. I use a balance - weigh out 4g chemical then add 96g water.

We don't use Cobalt (in any form) at all anymore, I've removed it all due to it's environmental and health affects. Asked people to find alternatives and surprisingly when you ask them to find a less nasty chemical they always do. Just have to push them out of their old ways. I

Percentage is "x" amount up to 100ml. I am partial to Cobalt Chloride but use all the required PPE, very nice in crystal gardens.

Hi Catie, the only prac we do with Cobalt is Le Châtalier's Principle - Equilibrium involving Cobalt (II) ions, we have since filmed that so it is shown as a vid and the teachers now do a version with Copper using HCl and Ethanol. Not as pretty but we just don't have cobalt products onsite anymore.Catie wrote: ↑17 Aug 2021, 09:10Hi AnnaAnna Z wrote: ↑31 Jul 2021, 10:50 We don't use Cobalt (in any form) at all anymore, I've removed it all due to it's environmental and health affects.
