nitric

of all the things that would explode in a lab, this is one of the last on my list, it takes a massive shock wave to detonate, takes quite a bit on a large pile/bar/sphere to detonate, and heat isn't a major detonation factor as far as i know

yep, its too big to fail, the worst that will happen is we fade away as we lose members through other means, but this forum will never directly fail

do thermite, it can be done in a test tube, most metals will work with Mg or Al

so far none as i see, just "im back"

i dont comunicate so the question is inrelivent to me

now i must say i'm not giving anything to this part of home chem(yes it seems i'm trying to get out of the "kewl" stage of home chem" but as for flash and bangs you have nitro aromatics, for salts you have countless carboxylic acids reacting with bases(both organic and inorganic), and all the azo and amino dyes

one, this is a very dangerous reaction if over heated. i have had that happen and the vessel will start to make NO2 instead of HNO3 because of decomp, and two, you need a complete all ground glass distillation setup that has a hose on the vacuum port leading to a gas wash bottle with cold bicarbonate solution in it. if you have all this already in accounted for, then you can CONSIDER making HNO3.

the only substance i could think of that turns colorless( warning, dont use this) is phenolphthalein, buts its cancer causing. try a google search, i bet there are plenty of products you could find for this...

its over exaggerated, it pyrophoric when you have it in gas form, try to do that, or in like specialty, super ultra fine powder in a pure oxygen atmosphere. For what the home chemist has this is no problem at all.

As far i see it it makes sense, but they have made trinitrotoluene which has three deactivating groups and had to get through from DNT, they used heating to about 70-80*C to do that nitration. The group would add to the meta position since its being deactivated.

it seems to be a internal water valve, i hope puppies are not part of the water contaminants . As i see it, it is just a plastic being degraded by aqueous chlorine

May i add, being a amateur chemist myself, that HCl can be found in many hardware stores in there paint sections as muriatic acid in shockingly sized containers, it is sold as 31.45% HCl and will emit very irritating fumes and will "fume" in moist air. As for the complex, very dilute ammonia sold at grocery stores will work, as with pharmacies may carry(very strong irritant) something called "strong ammonia thats about 20-29% NH3.

hope this helps and doesn't break the Hazmat policy

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
