Ordered SN -- need help figuring out what comes next

[postmoses]

Hey everyone. This is my first post on this forum, been lurking here for a couple months -- have been reading about SN, and I think this is gonna be my way.

As an absolute first step, have I ordered the right stuff? Picture attached for reference.



Would be immensely grateful for any guidance from you guys as I navigate these next steps.

edit: just noticed the "Video KYC", are there laws in India that would prevent the average citizen from buying lab grade material? They may let you checkout, but might email you later that the order was canceled because it's unauthorized or w/e

I was about to ask the same. Might be an issue.

Good question! "Video KYC" is a straightforward identity verification process, ie, they verify via video that my face matches the government-issued ID (nearly everyone in India has one) I'm submitting as part of the process.

The idea is to ensure that the seller can accurately trace to whom they have sold the product, in case of any issues after the fact, but not to prevent anyone from acquiring it.

Just a follow up -- the picture of the bottle says "NaNO2 = 68.99". Not sure what this means, though I'm guessing it refers to concentration of the actual nitrite in the product -- am I wrong about that? And if not, is 68.99 the correct concentration for my purposes, or do I need purer (all other measures notwithstanding)

Thanks for taking our the time to reply, I really do appreciate it. I didn't expect such a quick response, thanks :)

That's just the molar mass of all the elements added together, useful for calculating out ratios to combine in chem solutions.

It says on the label, right bottle, that it's 99%. It's good for now
