Dimethylglyoxime
I have read wikipedia etc, it all mentions using it for the detection of
Nickel.
What it dosnt tell me is how much of the powder to use in solution...
I have 5g which was pretty expensive, as i am doing things with Nickel chemistry i thought it would allow me to quantify the amount of nickel, now i
could just 'mix' some with DI water and use that.
I understand that if i was to use it to titrate then i simply take its molecular weight (116.2/mol) and make a X mm solution.
But how much would you use in say 200ml of DI water to keep as a stock solution to just detect the presence of Nickel?

DMG is mainly uses in 1% ethanolic solution. Not soluble in water. If you have a solution containing Ni, buffering it to pH 8, and add a few ml 1%
DMG alcoholic solution. It is forming a raspberry red precipitat.
A typical gravimetric estimation of the nickel, byside iron and copper:
If you have 0,13-0,17 g dissolved nickel ions in the beaker, complexise the other metallic ions with 20 ml 20% tartaric acid solution, heat the
soln carefully till 40-45 degrees, add 15 ml 20% Na2S2O3 soln, buffering with HCL pH 4-4,5. Few minits later add into the beaker 65 ml 1% ethanolic
DMG soln. Puffering pH than pH 8-8,5 with NH3 soln, keep it in 45 degrees a half an hour, the Ni-DMG will 100% precipitated, you can filtering with
G3 fritted filter, washing twice with 10 ml water. Drying at 120 degrees 2 hours.

Thank you for the info, that will teach me to make assumptions on water solubility!! Silly mistake on my part. The information you have given is most
helpful.
Looks like a unusual colour for a Nickel complex, nice raspberry red. Out of interest do you have any idea if Methanol can be usd instead of ethanol
for a 'quick n dirty' Nickel test?

DMG is not a terribly difficult synthesis. I have run this prep before. It works as advertised: http://www.orgsyn.org/Content/pdfs/procedures/CV2P0204.pdf

Methanol should be fine.
Please remember: "Filtrate" is not a verb.
Write up your lab reports the way your instructor wants them, not the way your ex-instructor wants them.

lol.
(I have worked with 45 gallon barrels of the stuff, been arms deep in it, short of drinking it, or standing in a tiny tiny room with massive amounts
evaporating you'd be very hard pressed to be poisoned by it.
So I can say with out a doubt working with tiny amounts we're talking of here it is delusional to be even concerned about it. Other guys washed their
hands with it, washed out cuts *Now that I'd agree bad idea!*)
But this just shows how modern day hysteria is effecting the newer generations
It is good to be mind full of its properties, but one must all so realize reality, a kid would be more likely to chance drinking it if he knows it is
"grain alcohol" then if he knows it is a poison, and only so much so IF you drink it!
(Given usage in this context you won't be bathing in it nor inhaling large amounts)

"But this just shows how modern day hysteria is effecting the newer generations"
This is just a question about the taking of risk and responsibility of teacher nothing else. Iam personally not belong the new generation , but I had
been a witness a lab poisoning with meOH. The guy got blindness. He mixed an alcoholic coctail in the lab, but used meOH....
