Australia's Science Forum

Thanks - just revisted this too.

I was working with the chem teacher today make up solutions of different PH's - i learned a lot!

Your solutions chart is fantastic and will help lots of us immensly. Whilst working thru it have noticed a small omission in Sodium Hydroxide. The 0.1M enrty doesn't specify an amount of water ,(ie 1 litre ) also same for first 2M entry. Could confuse the newer users.
Cheers Bella

Thanks Bella, its a the top of the page PREPARATION OF 1 LITRE OF SOLUTION. But yes it could confuse someone.

When all else fails read the instruction manual (notes at top of page) Ha Ha

Hi to all

A big thankyou to the wonderful labbie who has put together this excel document for solution preparation.

I am new to this job and have only just registered for chemtalk. What a great site.

You guys are awesome and I know I am going to be visiting here a lot more often.

Cheers, Carmel (Lismore High School)

Thank you for your kind words, Also a very big thank you for the people that have checked the Solutions.

Maybe submit a new printed list ,then there is no confusion. Excellent!!!!!
Cheers

Do you really need another list mother?

Hi all, I am also a new "labbie" with very little science experience! I started at the beginning of this term and I have only just found this site, so you all may be hearing from me........a lot !!!

Welcome Remlap12, have a great holiday, and happy reading from chemtalk.

Dearest Labbie,
Thankyou soooo much - this solution sheet is GOLD. You are a Godsend.

How very nice to you to say so. Thank You, glad to help.

This is for a few new labbies

Hi to all brainies,i am very new to this forum its a great place to get help from all you generous labies.thanks Labbie for this great job,it will help a lot to everyone.

Oh my goodness, this is the absolute best!! I'm not very experienced in the Lab, constantly learning and this sheet is absolutely gold!!

Thank you so so so so so much for compiling this!!!

Amanda, this is what I was going to send you, just download and have a look at these. Hope they answer your questions.

I use the attached table - covered in contact paper and stuck to the bench beside my scales in the Prep Room. The table is printed on bright yellow paper, but any colour is easier than white in the Prep Room. These are the most common chemicals/molarity which we use.

Thanks Narelle and Labbie...I'm impressed

Now this might sound stupid(and it really is) but I never new that you added acid to some solutions. Why is this?

Some of the solutions need to hold on to their solids. By adding a acid, it some times clears this, or clears the solutions, or can give it a longer shelf life.
