[Histonet] re: Saturated lithium carbonate

[Arshia Mian]

Hello,

Has anyone had problems getting lithium carbonate to dissolve in H2O to
make a saturated aqueous soln?

 

I have tried 2 different concentrations of lithium carbonate to go into
solution.

1. 1.54g in 100ml H2O

2. 1g in 100ml H2O

 

I am trying to make this solution for the Herovici stain, but with
little success.

I have called the manufacturer of the lithium carbonate and they said
that the solution is soluble at 20degC in H2O at a conc. of 1.3g in
100ml H2O.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
