Liquid SN validity

[antiqueantipodean]

I've found Liquid SN at pool shop open for public to buy it's at 20% and looks like it's pure SN mixed with just water would that be valid to CTB of 20% would that mean drinking 200ml would work or is that too much water for anything to work?

Taking a higher dose of a low purity doesn't make what you consumed a higher purity.

It's not low purity it's 99% purity pre-mixed with water it's just 1/8th 99% pure SN 7/8th water

Pureity is the measure of amount in something, so if the SN is less pure, you would need to consume more of it to get the same amount of SN than you would at a higher purity.

OP, if you are sure there is nothing else other than sodium nitrite and water then you should be good to go. You would just have to calculate how much you would need to drink to ingest 25g of SN.

If infact it's only sn and water and one eighth of it is sn, then it will equal to 25gm which is the recommended dose. The main issue is you will need to consume the whole 200ml which isn't easy to do. The need for smaller liquid is it's easier to drink plus concentration of sn is higher so chance is higher that more would be absorbed even after vomiting.

i mean if it is really just SN dissolved in water, they could just let it evaporate until it reaches a lower volume and higher concentration, no?

I'm not well informed on that matter so personally I wouldn't take the risk.

i mean its just a dissolved solid in water. you can extract the solid the same way you can extract salt from seawater - leaving it out to evaporate.

one small thing is that exposure to oxygen will cause some SN to react to form NaNO3, but i think that would be a negligible amount.
