Potassium Iodide Solution

Hey- You left a comment on my IP's talk page about the article on potassium iodide and SSKI. As far as the SSKI, I agree with everything you said, I never bothered to check what the actual density was. The one thing I think should be made clear in the article is that as opposed to making a solution of a set concentration (using a known weight of KI and volume of solvent), it is possible (especially in an emergency situation) to turn powdered KI into a solution of known concentration (depending on temp) simply by making sure you add more than enough KI to a certain amount of water. So I think there should be a distinction (regardless of concentration) between a pharmaceutically prepared solution of a certain concentration and a true saturated solution that can be made at home that has a pile of KI crystals sitting at the bottom of the container. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dimethylaziridine (talk • contribs) 01:01, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I think the article sort of makes that point, now. Do you think it should be emphasized more? S B H arris 07:58, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
