I was thinking.... oh it had been open to the air (as the bottle was open before for a while) so it would have oxidized to some extent so that means that there will be acids... so that means I can chuck some salt (which was incidentally NaCl) so then it may neutralize it somewhat.

and since the wine will be a weaker acid there will be a broad endpoint so you should be back salting on it.

(I suck as jokes sorry) it was a back titration reference. ::)

 ;) dad goes why are you adding water to it?

"DAD! It has to be aqueous so it ionises haven't you done VCAA 09? solid + solid = lesbian sex, it doesn't work!"

Anyway, back to the point, does your carpet stinks now?
PS: Be careful with electrical conductivity in aq ionic compounds xD

I do a gravimetric analysis of my cereal every morning to find the salt content.
