 * 48 || Preparing salmiakki || You will use neutralisation to make salmiakki, ammonium chloride. We may not be able to taste this during the lesson as it will take time for the water to evaporate from the solution. However it will be ready for the next lesson, when you can bring in liquorice if you want (and dare) to taste chemically pure salmiakki.
