Swim is thinking perhaps he will get a ph meter or litmus paper, however, he already has a metal teaspoon, a metal tablespoon, a plastic quarter cup, plastic half cup, plastic three-quarter cup, plastic cup, plastic two cup, and a plastic four cup measuring device. He would like to know the number of grams for various acids and bases in those measurements, particularly for calcium hydroxide and fumaric acid. Swim realizes plasticizers may come off the plastic, but could swiy inform him of which chemicals are the ones that do that? He is attempting food safe calcium hydroxide a/b of mhrb, d-limonene, no defat, fasa, with possible re-x with heptane. He is still calculating ratios of acid/base:water but is hoping to reach ph 2.4 for salting and ph 14.8 for freebasing, so if swiy knows ratios or brand varieties or compounds please tell. Thanks!

I think it would be much easier if you just used PH meter or litmus. Then you are not confined to rigid boundaries of how much to use with how much water etc. Also it leaves room for experimentation. Do some google searches like this "siteVery happymt-nexus.me fasa measurements how much"

Well I find that this lingo is not the norm. It may not even save your ass because of the search function for hot words. But it does keep the tone theoretical.

faq it, i'll chime in..
plasticizers are soluble in nonpolars, no need to worry about them when handling acids or bases.
get some litmus paper or a meter; if you get a meter, also get calibrators, pH 4.01 and pH 10.01 buffers.


and yeah, nobody swims anymore. this isn't 2000, that acronym won't hold up in court.

So only non polar solvents are plasticizers?

This I can only agree to... The prosecutor won't even need this web evidence if he's found you with the substance.

plasticizers are covalently bonded polymers, initiated in free-radical chain reactions. nonpolar solvents dissolve them.

Right, what I mean is a nps will dissolve plastic thus will plasticize.
