After vigorous stirring the HgNO3 would not dissolve in, and therefore HgCl2 would be substituted for this trial. | |||

*Volume: 50mL volumetric | |||
*Final Molarity: 0.00494 M HgCl2 | |||

*Final molarity 0.99 M NaOH | |||
==Protocol== | |||
# In a round bottom flask 5mL of 5mM HgNO3 | |||
# 5mL BSA solution in MQ water and stir | |||
# Correct the pH to approximately 9 using 1M NaOH | |||
# Allow solution to stir overnight (12-18 hours) | |||
# Add 4mL of 20mM Na2S and stir for 15 minutes | |||
==Notes== | |||
* The mercuric chloride with a 4+ charge vs Mercurous nitrate with a 2+ charge, could explain the poor results seen in both fluorescence and UV-vis spectra. | |||
