nitric

activated charcoal would be better than plaster as plaster would react

the bicarb is not a good test, i've had 10-15% H2SO4 overflow containers from the fizz with bicarb, but only 90+ H2SO4 have i seen char a piece of cardboard

that is not the way to put the three way adapter, you have to put it vertically and also you should test the distillate by dropping some on a peice of cardboard and it should turn black

you have to suspend the silver chloride in gelatin then put the gelatin on a glass plate, the common method is to make a negative out of silver iodide (plate you make it the same way as the AgCl plate) then place the silver iodide plate after exposure on the silver chloride plate and shine a dim light from above. as UC said, for more detail and more practical methods, ask YT

i figured out how to destroy them, sign up, become a mod, then say you went into space and saw the earth round

in the summer i may do the super large scale stunt were you get a trough with the stuff in it to the brim then you run on it and you dont sink

i was to tired to make a new tread so i just found this one 1.sulfuric acid - great acid,makes almost every other acid i could want,and good at dissolving 100% cotton shirts 2.nitric acid - like YT put it "what every acid should be" but i wish it was easier to get... 3.protium hydroxide - my most common solvent 4.bromine - my first halogen i every synthesized 5.iodine - smells good until you get a foot near the stuff 6.chlorine - very reactive, combines with may elements in free state 7.picric acid - help me get a grip on lab safety and how hard the people at the hazardous waste disposal plants work(im getting rid of SOON(or at least most of)) 8.ethanol - another great solvent 9.t-butyl methyl ether - if you want to have a good ether for a while, use this, and will want some soon(just heard all around praise about it) 10.sodium chloride - when you want flavor you got it, also when you need HCl quick

may i say that this was about the "viscosity of oils" and then it went on to this dispute on hydrogen bonding, and i would agree that its similar to how the hydrocarbons boiling temp heightens as the chain length lengthens(correct me if i am wrong, but it makes sense based on how a longer molecule would have more interaction points)

You only make a few different NOx's doing that, you need H2SO4 to actually make nitric acid, i have done a few very small batches and in situ. nitration's using that reaction(commonly employed in the making of picric acid and trinitrotoluene and other nitrated aromatics) with KNO3 and H2SO4 to make KSO4 and HNO3.

it would be not of much difference since the CCl3H is barely soluble(trust me)in each other, though common reasoning would point to the solubility being lower as the temperature gets lower

the HCl + NaClO would corrode the steel blazing fast(maybe a hour) but i would not try it unless you outside and doing <100ml total solution after mixing. Since Cl2 is an amazing oxidizer that's why it would corrode so quickly(especially if it was heated) and if you were going to heat it i would suggest using only 10ml or less of combined solution

woohoo, i have a new one to add to the list: HClO4, and some pretty HN4ClO4/HN4SO4 crystals from excess ammonium perchlorate that i added burns paper very fast(yes i did that in a safe way as i know that it can explode on contact with organics)

as all whom know me know: chemistry, especially organic chemistry, so woohoo to chem,chem labs are true labs

Try NO, on contact with air it turns to NO2, there arnt any other things that I can think of in gas form that in gas form would change through energetic influence would change color other than NO2 and reduced temperatures to N2O4, hope that helps

are there any other usable solvents since diethyl phthalate is not a everyday common solvent or easily made

i would think it is easier to electrolysis a KI solution(like for making chlorate/perchlorate) with a dash of dichromate, but to make it from KI and I2 i would think heating with a strong aqueous oxidizer would do

for simple i would agree that it would be at max length 4-6 carbons and less than 4 substitutes on it, consisting mainly of carbon and hydrogen...

annihilation Jim.... total,complete,absolute annihilation

wow, john cuthbers delt with the not just nasty but just down right dangerous compounds, though TNT isn't as dangerous as perceived,as long as you don't detonate a shock wave next to it, but ethyl alcohol has killed more people than all of those put together....

check out Google,wtf, there dangerous : http://www.google.com

filtering through really packed glass wool can get some of the particles out, but as YT said, the job is really going to be a mess, most of the lead has reacted if its a old battery and its just a messy job all in all, if you have the time go for it, but don't expect the best yields.

if i had 17 bottles of pure bromine id use them , plenty of brominations and debromination procedures i could do, also ive also had flash point benzene in an experiment accidentally

also, are you doing this at home or in a highly controled inveroment, if your doing the former then one, you cant get any of this because you cant get the fluoroantinomates anywhere, wont be able to make oleum, where the heck will you get complete teflon/copper aperati. in both a controled inviroment and home i would not recomend it
