How does one test for the presence of ammonium in Ferrous ammonium sulphate? Suspecting that upon crystalization I have only ferrous sulphate.
The latter I also made and it is the exact same colour as my supposed ferrous ammonium sulphate, although I have extremely large crystals from the
Ferrous ammonium Sulphate, I know that as I was neutralizing the ammonia solution with H2SO4 i went past the neutralisation stage and so brought it
back with the addition of more ammonium solution. The consequences of which meant that there was no longer an equimolar amount of pre-prepared
ferrous sulphate mixing with the ammonium sulphate. Thankyou.

Place a small amount of it into a small beaker. Dampen a piece of litmus paper and stick it to a watch glass and set it on the beaker. Add sodium
hydroxide solution to your solid material. If ammonium is present, it will be converted to ammonia, which will turn the paper blue.
Please remember: "Filtrate" is not a verb.

how badly would a round bottom flask be stressed if it was heated directly on a hotplate without an oil bath to about 300°C+?

I often use air baths with foil skirts to heat flasks on a hot plate around that temperature, no problem. Don't let the RBF touch the hotplate-that
might cause stress.

depends on the quality of the flask, if the bottom is touching the hotplate, if you have wrapped Al foil around the top to catch the heat.
personally I think you will never get the flask up to 300*C without an oil bath

Could anyone say if the following bottle be okay for storage of Concentrated Nitric acid?
http://www.amazon.com/Wheaton-Capacity-Polypropylene-Polyeth...
Would there be concern of pressure buildup from concentrated nitric, and would an amber reagent bottle with a glass stopper better suit my needs?
Thank you

should be ok for nitric acid...not sure about the pressure though, where are you storing it and what concentration is it in?

To Add:
The concentrated nitric acid will be produced by vacuum distillation, so likely in the neighborhood of 90%+. It will be stored at ambient temperature
as I do not have a lab freezer, this ambient temperature will be a relatively constant approximately 21 degrees C.

Thankyou, or basically do as you suggest but could stick the litmus directly to the inside of the beaker near the top, will try anyway.

you should get the type with the aluminium lining. the Al will passivate and won't let it through the cap.

but doesn't the PTFE liner prevent nitric acid fumesfrom passing through the cap?

im trying to obtain some mercury metal would a mercury tilt switch or mercury thermometer contain more mercury?
(i know it's a waste of perfectly great thermometers but those are the only 2 sources a can get mercury in my country  )
im asuming that a thermometer with a higher temperature range would contain more mercury?

You shouldn't assume that all tilt switches will contain elemental mercury . . .

Edit: then I could decomp the resulting Calcium carbonate into CaO?

possible, but that would require alot of heat above above 840 °C

A dry distillation of Ca(OH)2 and sodium benzoate yields benzene and friends. You can find more information in the member publications, I believe.

So I am building a magnetometer, and I need a liquid or solid that has the most hydrogen atoms per volume, does anyone know what hydrocarbon or other
substance would have the most hydrogen molecules per volume that is easily obtainable.
Thanks for your help

Water? 2 mol H atoms / 18 g ; 1 g / cm^3 = 0.111 mol H atoms / cm^3
Paraffin wax? ~2 mol H atoms / 14 g ; ~0.8 g / cm^3 = 0.114 mol H atoms / cm^3
