dimy grass

Decanted (A41) at 26 C:

* (A44) a few long needles ~2.60 g

* (A45) clear light golden yellow liq; 433 g including E6.

Decanted (A22) at 26 C:

* (A47) clear very light golden yellow liq; 40 g

* (A46) mass of many very small needles, clings to moisture; 21 g moist, 9 g squeezed semi-moist.

Merged (A45) into (A47).

Merging all crystallized stuff: (A44) 2 g, (A46) 9 g, (A28) 28 g, (A26) 51 g, (A42) 39 g.  Result is (A48) 129 g.

Trying to redissolve and crystallize all.  Must add water slowly since dissolution is very endothermic.  To (A48), 129 g, added 3 g H2O = 132 g.  At 90 C dissolved almost entirely, with some smell of ammonia.  Crystalline film formed on surface.

Added 16 g H2O; dissolved entirely at 88 C; 148 g.

In a test tube (E5), added some ethanol 92 to sample of (A47).  On standing deposited crystals ~2 mm diam, polyhedral rather than needle-like.
