hydrobromic acid and hydroiodic acid?
« on: August 09, 2010, 08:54:03 PM »
Is there any place that sells these acids to individuals?  In small quantities preferably.  Or is that impossible because of the drug trade?

No way you can buy HI. It is Federal DEA List I Chemical.

I've bought elemental iodine off of ebay.  But, you'll get yourself on some FBI watch list. But what respectable chemist isn't on a watch list?
