is it a problem if i dissolve sn in water and store it for some time, because i want to have my drinks prepared in advance. will the sn get bad in water, and if so when?
Hello!It turns into nitrate slowly. Best is to store it in a dry, cool and air-tight place, sealed. Then it stays good for a very long time.
But would it be slower if stored in the containers I showed? I would not be able to seal the bag again as it is just plastic. I could just put a clothespin on it...even if there is some air inside the process is very slow. it's enough to seal the bag again and squeeze as much air out as possible.
So storing it in a refrigerator would be better than storing it in ambient temperature?Sodium nitrite can begin to oxidize to sodium nitrate when exposed to air and moisture, typically at temperatures above 200°C (392°F). The oxidation reaction is accelerated at higher temperatures, but it's a gradual process that occurs over time in ambient conditions. It's important to store sodium nitrite in a cool, dry place to minimize this conversion.
Personally, I just wouldn't risk it at all. Keeping it in a dry, dark and cool place should be good enough, it's a durable chemical after all meant specifically for testing in labs and used in experiments, not for ctb but here we are and still so few know that.So storing it in a refrigerator would be better than storing it in ambient temperature?
Sorry I'm just very ignorant on the subject and I'd like to know as much as I can...
