Weigh the reagent individually and label. 2. Triturate camphor with half of the amount of the adsorbents. 3. Separately triturate salol with the other half of the adsorbents. 4. Mix the two resulting powders together with light trituration. 5. Note the consistency of the mixture right after step 4. 6.
