AI Thread Summary
To compare the amounts of calcium carbonate in two different shells, a suggested experiment involves using an acid to react with the carbonate. The reaction produces salt, water, and carbon dioxide, which can be measured to determine the calcium carbonate content. Participants in the discussion noted the importance of conducting the experiment in a controlled environment and suggested seeking additional resources in the chemistry section of the forum for more detailed guidance. There was also a mention of previous responses to similar questions, indicating that the topic had been addressed before.

Thread 'How to make Sodium Chlorate by Electrolysis of salt water?'

I have a power supply for electrolysis of salt water brine, variable 3v to 6v up to 30 amps. Cathode is stainless steel, anode is carbon rods. Carbon rod surface area 42" sq. the Stainless steel cathode should be 21" sq. Salt is pure 100% salt dissolved into distilled water. I have been making saturated salt wrong. Today I learn saturated salt is, dissolve pure salt into 150°f water cool to 100°f pour into the 2 gallon brine tank. I find conflicting information about brine tank...
