Reaction Principle

Acrylonitrile is decomposed by acid to liberate hydrogen cyanide which react with mercuric chloride to generate hydrogen chloride. The generated hydrogen chloride discolors indicator to pink.

Coefficient of Variation

10% (for 0.25 to 1 ppm), 5% (for 1 to 6 ppm)

Shelf Life 3 Years
