HgCl2 (500g) 220.00$
Nitromethane (1L) 280.00$
NaOH (500g) 12.00$
Isopropyl Alcohol (1L) 16.00$

The prices seem reasonable to me, except the nitromethane, I hope the price for 1 liter is a typo, $280 CAN for 1 liter is a rip off if I have ever seen one. :o

It's pretty cool, although I would have never valued it at that price, I feel rich :D

Calcium chloride, potassium and calcium carbonate all seem a bit high. But then again most of the other prices seem reasonable, and every company has a few high prices with the low.

not cool at all. bromine is the nastiest stuff i've encountered. maybe i'd like it better if it were sitting in acetic acid.

Well, I have 500 ml of bromine and unless you don't have the proper cap, it is indeed a very nasty chemical. Got 7 years ago a very ugly burn and I still have the scar...

From what I see everything is double what they should be. If these are prices for ACS grade then thats a different matter. Technical grade is almost as good and can cost much less. Sometimes you can find technical chemicals in 5 pound quantities for about the same price.

I know for sure that my Hydrochloric Acid is Technical 20°. I'll ask about the purity of the product, but I think that they are mostly 99,9+%

EDIT: Finaly they're all technical grade, anyway, personnly I don't mind paying a bit more to not be listed and not having to possess a federal account of some sort... and remember that they are in $CAD and with tax included so you can almost cut the price in two to have the $US price.
