dissolving salt/sn

[Hank]

Hi there,
I have SN here, still sealed. Don't want to test with it and expose it to air.

So instead I am just using regular salt for a test run. I tried to dissolve about 30 gr of salt in 60 ml water. Perhaps I am doing something wrong, but it is hardly dissolving. A lot of the salt stays on the bottom of the glass, even after stirring for minutes. Now, the salt I am using is not superfine, so that might be an issue. Should I use warm water for it? Or it it just that it takes longer then 15 minutes of stirring to get it dissolved?

perhaps someone that already tried this, as a test run, could give some advice.

Use room temperature water. Also that ratio does sound right, but I think SN dissolves more than regular salt.

Don't use cold water
If you search something like SN test run with salt you'll probably find it. I've seen something recently

shows that SN is about twice as soluble as salt, so for SN you would only need half the amount of water vs the amount you would need for salt.

very usefull, thanks.

Salt and SN is not the same. You can test SN, if you open the bottle is ok.

I did the same . Regular salt is hard to dissolve (at that concentration) . SN dissolves readily .
You can see NaCl solubility is 35g/100ml and NaNO2 is 80g/ml .
In short , SN is much more soluble .

Should I use warm water for it?

DO NOT USE WARM WATER

No need . It will dissolve quickly .

Yes . SS had 100 ctb attempts with SN . Dissolving it was never a problem . Easy . People posted pictures of SN solution .

Should I use heated water?

No. SN readily dissolves in room temperature water . Stir it . Heating will cause SN to change behaviour – don't.

SN dissolves faster and better.

If it's a bottle of industrial grade SN, it's not going to hurt it to open it and test a sample. Just close the cap tightly.

i too did a test with normal salt. i measured 25 g Na Cl and mixed it with 50 ml water , all in a plastic bottle (because that's what i 'll use for my attempt since maybe doing it outside) and i kept shaking but after 20 min a lot of the salt was still at the bottom of the bottle.
i really hope with sn it will be different since the solubility in water should be more than double of the one of the normal salt ...
