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 red.
Coefficient of Variation 10% (for 0.5 to 4 ppm), 5% (for 4 to 10 ppm)
Shelf Life 3 Years
Corrections for
