Is there anyone around here who knows enough chemistry to give me a little tutoring? I am writing a paper on iron gall ink, which is made with tannic acid and iron sulfate. Some places that is written iron(II) sulfate, and since I never studied ANY chemistry I don't know the significance of that or how big a difference it makes. This is for a short paper, but later in the semester I will be writing in more detail about the interactions between iron gall ink and paper, and iron gall ink and vellum/parchment.
The first paper is due on Monday, so time is kind of key. I think I can fudge through this one without really understanding the chemistry, (which is why I'm just now posting this) but for the term paper I think it'll be more important.
