Question

Posted on: March 6 2013

Can you sometimes help me in the formula to prepare decoloured iodine tincture?

The knitting thing serves to do the nails against mold.

Answer

I think the preparation is not that simple. I'll give the formula, which I could find. She apparently dates from 1934.
dissolve under soft heating 2.86 I 2 in 27.5 ml alcohol 90 °, add 6.25 ml strong ammonia and place this solution in a warm place until decoloured. Then add alcohol 90 ° to 100 ml.
