Colour Change Yellow → Red
Reaction Principle Arsine react with mercuric chloride to produce hydrogen chloride.
The indicator of the tube turns to red.
AsH3 + 3HgCl2 → As(HgCl)3 + 3HCl
HCl + Basic compound → chloride compounds
Coefficient of Variation 10% (for 0.1 to 0.5 ppm), 5% (for 0.5 to 1.5 ppm)
Shelf Life 2 Years
Corrections for temperature & humidity Unnecessary
Store the tubes at cool and dark place.
