Thanks Keith. Though I must clear out something... I was talking of HCl, Hydrochloric acid, not Nitric Acid (HNO3), which I do understand is a main chemical in the synthesis of various explosives (a friend of a close friend of mine did pass away in a lab explosion some years ago).
The reference to HCl was found in the Morrison & Boyd book on organic chemistry (I think it`s Prentice, or Mc Graw) One thing more, somewhere in journeytoforever it said small batches were exothermic enough to maintain the temperature close enough to 55 ¼C. If so, up to what volume is this true? Thanks for the advice & concern. Regards, Christian [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
