received SN. have some questions.

[dumdumdedum]

i received my SN ordered completely legally and worry free from a seller here in central europe.
i have some questions about the SN, as it doesn't have a purity mentioned anywhere, and while is says sodium nitrite NaNO2 it also says "chemical formula NaClO2"

how do i upload pictures taken with my iphone without exposing any identifying data? such as EXIF?
should i blur out the name of the company too?

since sharing sources is against the forum rules, i would blur out any source/destination information. to remove EXIF data you can try a website such as this one which allows you to upload an image and view/remove its EXIF data. congratulations on the arrival of your SN!

NaClO2 is Sodium Chlorite. I don't think that this is the correct product

 

[dumdumdedum]

here is what it says:

AZOTYN SODU
sodium nitrite
synonyms: azotan(III) sodu, sodium nitrite
chemical formula: NaClO2
nr CAS: 7632-00-0
nr EC: 231-555-9
nr Index: 007-010-00-4
nr. rej: 01-211947836-27-xxxxx

so . . . what is it?

CAS registry seems to indicate it is NaNO2: http://www.commonchemistry.org/ChemicalDetail.aspx?ref=7632-00-0
so does EC registry: https://echa.europa.eu/substance-information/-/substanceinfo/100.028.687

is the NaClO2 a typo? Seems very odd.

FWIW, the company seems legit, a no-nonsense industrial chemical provider.

Could be a misprinted to be honest, no way they should've mixed up different chemical formulas

if anyone wishes, PM me, and i will link you to the product page

The sn that is talked about on this forum is NANO2,maybe if you can find another one that clearly states NANO2

 

[notjustyetagain]

maybe email the supplier pointing out the discrepancy, to confirm what it is. some NaNO₂ has a slightly yellow hue that's not shared by NaClO₂.

 

[dumdumdedum]

i guess the question is, does NaClO2 act in the same way as NaNO2?

 

[dumdumdedum]

i called them. yes, there is an error on the label, they said.

"rest assured", he says, "you have received sodium nitrite".

incidentally, the back of the bottle contains the following:

Azotyn Sodu NaNO2 E250
98.5% purity

is 98.5% pure enough?

 

[dumdumdedum]

well then, there seems to be a legit, low cost (about 5 euros including shipping for a kilo), speedy and pan-European supplier of SN.
