Reaction Principle

2-Pentenenitrile 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 2 ppm), 5% (for 2 to 6 ppm)
Shelf Life 3 Years
Corrections for
