Help food or reagent grade SN

[memento-mori]

is there any difference between food grade and reagent grade SN.

 

[lamy's sacred sleep]

yes
i'm assuming food grade is the readily available SN
food grade has a very low SN percentage (something like 5% of the top of my head)

You need the reagent grade https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_purity

You need the reagent grade https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_purity

both are listed as 99% tho
is the reagent grade more toxic or something

I mean you don't want to play around with the substance you're going to use to kill yourself, there's a reason the reagent one has a warning on it and the food grade one doesn't

alr i heard it doesn't matter as long as it's above 95%

As long as it's above 95%, food or industrial grade does not matter.

It's exactly the same chemical. The food grade is tested to be free of harmful shit and is approved for use in making foods. The lab/industrial/reagent grade has not been approved for use in foods.

It is the same chemical and will work either way if the percentage is over 95%.
