John Francis Miller

Please describe the composition of your sample (i.e., the liquid, any added salts etc).

Zureena Abu Samah

Hi Dr Miller,

The composition of the sample is as follows:

NiSO4 Nickel(II) sulfate

NiCl2 Nickel(II) chloride

H3BO3 Boric acid

What are the concentrations?

Unless you are using these salts at more than 1 molar, you can just use the data for water.

NiSO4 Nickel(II) sulfate = 488 g/L

NiCl2 Nickel(II) chloride = 30 g/L

H3BO3 Boric acid = 25 g/L
