nitric

you should trust the msds.as you can see alot of the price is hazmat

This a question about legitimacy of americium in smoke detectors: can i take out the button of Am-241 out and say dissolve it in nitric acid?

thats the syntisis i'm going to use is from.

He could use vicor:D

does anyone know were i can get a reaction vessel (any 50ml would work) for carbon disulfide production.Must have 14/20 single female opening.help!!!!!!

I can get dry ice from krogers and acetone from home depot.And i would be distilling a mixture of KNO3+H2O+H2SO4 to make nitric acid

what type of coolant should i use for distilling + making nitric acid.

I just got a 14/20 ground glass distillation kit with 2 condensers,5 rb flasks,a 105° bend vacuum adapter,a three way clasien adapter, and a three way 75° adapter for 75$.Help using it. does some one have some advise.

Store the bromine in glass under sulfuric acid,Don't let it freeze or boil,and suck it out with a glass pipette.

I have bromine.Made it myself.I think if you can isolate the most elements you can for collection.Also gives you something to do.

You can reduce zinc with carbon.all you need is some metal piping and a good heat source like a propane torch.It would be more likely better to use Mg or Al as the reductant in a thermite reaction

it's better than having a bucket of white phosphorus:D. that stuff ignites on contact with air.

search: "Phosphorus extraction. (completed) :)" and look

I ave a question on yt's phosphorus synthesis:is there a chance that using a argon atmosphere would increase yields:confused:

I made this thread so people can post synthesis and experiments with the alkali metals:D

late response to frosch45, but it was metallic lithium i recovered and cost less than from chem. supplier.

it's actually about 5 feet of Li foil in one battery. I'm attempting to make sodium metal.

just tride redox with Na2CO3.Na2CO3+Li+xH2O=Na+Li2CO3+Li(HO)+xH2O flame shot up a foot high:D

wouldn't that be Li2CO3, as far as i know

I just extracted a lot of lithium from lithium batteries for element collecting. Any thing i can do except redox.

just made some bromine and iodine with: KI,KBr+KMnO4+H2SO4. !

it'll also produce water

what kind of eqipmement should I use to make nitric acid. I've heard that HNO3 will dissolve rubber. Could I use cork stoppers.

Can someone tell me a good method to make iodine and bromine..... with potassium iodine and potassium bromide
