Wait, you can buy it? Of course, but if I can make the oxynitrate form from the metal easily, I would do that to save money. I have not tried #2.

Anyone know how to produce this from Zr metal? Dissolution in nitric, and HCl have proven a wrong first step. I've been searching all over the internet, and at my library for books/journal articles... No dice. Any help would be greatly appreciate.

So, as it turns out, one can not dissolve Zr in nitric acid, hydrochloric, or others. HF seems to be the route, or possibly a mixture of H2SO4/HCl or perchloric acid. There are many conflicting reports on the subject. It appears to be related to how the Zr was prepared in the first place. If...

That would make the time shorter, which I don't care about. I can grind down a sample of my Zr chunks into a powder type form, but I am trying to avoid powder. Dissolving metal powder in nitric acid is violent, so I was hoping to just be able to calculate the minimum amount of acid to dissolve...

Hey all, I have concentrated nitric acid (~70%), and I want to use it to dissolve Zr/Y metal. I've dissolved Y before, and I know it's as simple as putting metal into acid. The question I have, is there a known dissolution rate I should use to barely dissolve the metals in the acid? I...

I'm attempting to find the velocity of a sphere falling through a liquid with an upward countercurrent flow. I already have the velocity as a function of time in a stagnant flow regime, but do not have one with countercurrent flow. Here is the equation without countercurrent flow: v(t) =...

I'm dropping a sphere from a known height, and it enters a viscous fluid. I know the initial velocity as it enters the fluid, from there I need the velocity as it falls through the fluid (as a function of time). I know it should approach it's settling velocity (terminal velocity) and from...

I did find something... p = K/c I'm still looking through my notes.

I used 0.511003 MeV/c^2
