Re: Proceedings of the 2015 ISDH

They were published, I saw a copy at ISDH 2018, but they wanted 60 Euros for them regardless of whether you were a participant or not, to cover the cost of the hologram on the cover, according to Hans.

Surprised that the potassium bromide didn't dissolve, even with heating. Try grinding the crystals into smaller chunks and see if they dissolve. Sodium carbonate definitely does dissolve more readily in warm water, like 38 - 40C. That is why it fell out of favor as a laundry washing detergent, as co...
