Resources for diy chemistry

I was wondering if there was any book/website that listed all the properties of every element on the periodic table, as well as some ways extract them from day to day products. Per example: you can get Calcium carbonate by crushing sea shells, seaweed contains Sodium carbonate.

>all the properties of every element This is a pretty high bar. Such a book does not exist simply because all those properties are not known, and the highest elements generally placed on the Table are extremely difficult do work with, to say the least. Take a gander at: http://sciencemadness.org/ They have a pretty decent wiki and helpful forum with a lot of old handy threads. It should give you a good start at whatever project you're doing. Speaking of which, what actually is it that you're wishing to do ?

Thanks for the link, by all the properties of an element I mean all the know ones and most handy ones such as: flammable, reaction to UV light, ebullition temperature, freezing temperature and so on. I am aware this is no simple matter nor something that can by described in some simplistic way without hurting the value of the information. >Speaking of which, what actually is it that you're wishing to do ? Trying to learn practical chemistry for fun

>>8676 well, most of those values you can basically find on wikipedia. Science madness helps too, and has a lot of more practical information. I think it helps a lot to have an actual project or interest area to focus on. Chemistry is pretty big, afterall.

>>8673 if you do diy chemistry please for the love of God be the kind that actually synthesizes useful soykaf and does research, instead of the cretins who only do it to make drugs.

>>8686 >useful stuff >research OK, I'll do drug research! Fewer chemicals are more useful. >but not drugs that's bad Oh.. Okay, I'll make a baking soda volcano or something I guess...

>every element on the periodic table >some ways extract them Forget the baking soda and vinegar ruse Lain, we all know you're trying to build a nuke.

Is it possible to do chemistry in a cvcked country where even basic stuff like acetone and ethanol is derezzed? How2reagents? No drugs or nukes, I swear

>>8692 well that sure is like kicking dead whales down the beach don't it. sure its possible though, depends what you want to do, how much extra headache you're willing to go through, whether the laws are mostly about posession as opposed to sale, and how hard they enforce them. If you really want to do it go ahead but be ready for the headache perhaps of synthesizing extra stuff or dodging around local laws. >>8686 yeah, research, like that one shulgin guy I do get the impression a lot of people doing hobby chem arent doing it for drugs, like its kinda just fun, and there's a lot of useful chemical stuff you can make and do. Maybe its just the fora I hang out on.

I recall hearing about a book by some guy that gives you steps to get any chemical at no cost from nature and how to extract and I think synthesize as well including regulated chemicals. Anyone know what book that is?

>>8675 Don't the students at the university have a book with experiments?

Forget drugs, give me some tips on how to make explosives from basic household items and I'll allow you to make me your s*x slave for the rest of my life.

>>8718 >he doesnt know about tatp

>>8720 Interesting. Very interesting. You have my gratitude Lainon.

Probably a little too goofy for your needs, but: https://periodictable.com/index.html

>>8718 >>8720 >Be me >Explosive Chemist >See this posts >MFW theres about to be a few less lains

>>8731 They don't call it "the mother of satan" for nothing. If you want to exade detection by Nitro-compound sniffers, HTMD is the safer oxygen-based option. Personally, I think pressurized acetone-oxygen mixes are a better bet, or even zinc-sulfur if you want to really fly under the radar.

>>8759 I thought the thread was DIY chemistry, not making lainchan look like an edgy internet corner of scum and villainy :( But in any case, Jered Ledgard made a number of lab books on chemistry. While they are intermediate to advanced for some, they document the industrial manufacturing of a number of explosive and chemical compounds.

Here is another contribution to this thread https://elements.vanderkrogt.net/index.php >>8707 A book like that would be quite interesting, I have searched for it with a search engine but all I got was this thread from chemistry stack exchange https://chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/9793/how-to-find-each-element-in-nature

>>8673 Unironically Dr.Stone

>>8766 I've got that downloaded. Is there actually some realism behind it?

>>8807 The plot itself is soykaf with next to no depth, the only cool part and the why it gained some popularity is because all the things that are made in the anime are real and you can do them all at home.

>>8808 >watch camping anime >burn down an entire mexican state reminder not to try anime at home You can get a lot from scientific catalogs and even amazon these days. For any aspiring home chemists, I would say not to make drugs or explosives as these can get you in a lot of trouble without permission, and there are a lot of ways for the government to find you (since they specifcally look for these), not to mention they are inherently some of the most dangerous research fields (even professional labs have mishaps regularly). Some good projects to start on are materials testing or working with metal. Creating polymers or plastics can also be fun, but make sure you have the right safety in place. Learn about how labs work first, and build yourself one before picking up chemicals to practice your alchemy that you learned on a chinese digital fingerpainting forum.

>>8812 >laws & explosives worth noting that a lot of places are actually pretty permissive, sometimes even like anti gun places, on making explosives, provided you make and use them at the same location. As always though, if you care about laws, check 'em.

>>8807 The author made an attempt at using resources for correct info but some errors do occur especially because not all their sources were Japanese so occasionally wrong translation caused misunderstanding. Only one Im aware of off top my head was a mix up of one ingredient in the cola recipe which makes it taste kind of weird. You can sometimes get more practical info off primitive building YouTubers such as how to make wood ash cement which uses some chemistry process in it's creation.

>>8814 there used to be a youtuber who made primitive explosives, I remember one video he showed his stored piss that he was using to make saltpeter

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/232286063_High-performance_extraction_of_alkaloids_using_aqueous_two-phase_systems_with_ionic_liquids is this helpful?

Does anyone know about electrocatalysts? Full disclosure I got 0 clue about chemistry but after watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZrmp5xNcuY about growing plants without light I want to try and experiment with it at home.

>>9256 It's named after a pre-existing clandestine chemistry forum

How do you start actually interesting chemistry when broke?

>>9459 There was a young man named Abbie Hoffman, wrote an interesting little tome called Steal This Book. Follow his example.

>>9459 >dumpster dive universities >ask industrial facilities if they are getting rid of old equipment >join local university clubs (implying anyone is going to check your student status) >find local hobby groups >in the US look at government surplus auctions, you can find a pallet of microscopes for $500 sometimes

>>8673 A couple years back, I picked up a copy of Organic Chemistry by Maurice O'Brien and William Broderick at a yard sale for... basically pocket change. It's a technical manual for Irish high school students that was originally published in 1970. Very detailed, very concrete, very straightforward, as textbooks used to be before the invention of the PC and the subsequent societal brainrot it caused. Chapters: >Intro >Hydrocarbons >Alcohols >Aldehydes and Ketones >Acids, Esters, and Amides >Isomerism >Amines >Aromatic Chemistry >Simple Reaction Mechanisms >Polymers >a bunch of stuff about light waves >a bunch of stuff about lab safety >an index of chemical names with several hundred entries >instructions on how to turn Chemical X into Chemical Y It's been sitting on my shelf for a long time and I haven't done anything useful with it yet but I'm sure you could find a PDF somewhere on the Wired.

>>8673 Not precisely what you're after, but it sounds like you might be interested in a copy of the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics. It's a pretty massive tome. I managed to find an older 63rd edition in a charity bookshop for free.

>>8673 I've found that the easiest way to obtain sodium carbonate is to buy a big box of sodium bicarbonate at the grocery store for a couple bucks, then baking it in the oven for an hour or so (try ~400ºF). Sodium carbonate has many household uses, but over time it will absorb humidity and revert back to sodium bicarbonate. Best to make your own.

>as well as some ways extract them from day to day products there is an old book that guides you how to extract every base element from some product you can buy in supermarket. murica derezzed it during the terrorism craze cause omg what if someone uses it to build bombs but the pdf form likely still is on the net. Cant name it since its been a decade ago but knowing it exists means you can try looking for it.

>>11208 >unnamed book from an unknown author published in an unknown year Oh yea totally can find it among the thousands of chemistry books.

I'm giving this a bump because the topic is too interesting to be permitted to fall off the board. >>9460 I've never actually read this particular book, but I'm wary of it since most of these home chemistry for miscreants books are full of recipes that will either not work or get you killed. There are even some documents out there with deliberately fake recipes designed to fool those whose chemical knowledge extends about as far as a vinegar and baking soda volcano into injuring themselves. I hope these glitterboys make an ammonia and bleach volcano and stick their uncovered heads inside it. >>8759 HMTD is easy to make and the materials are dirt-cheap, but it doesn't stay stable for very long. It decays after about a month in storage, so it's only possibly useful as a primary charge. >>8812 If you're the type who has a penchant for explosives, I recommend incendiaries. It's easier to get the materials to make them, and if something goes wrong, it's easier to put out a fire than an explosion. As far as actually practical things you can do at home with chemistry that are somewhat less likely to get you arrested, you can make some biodiesel at home if you have a diesel vehicle, but this isn't common in America. You can also make black powder if you live in a noguns zone and you want a gun; there are often exceptions in gun laws for antiques such as 19th-century black powder revolvers, and they're not designed to work with modern rounds anyway. As for drugs, you should look into moss bioreactor synthesis. Of course, you could just grow weed instead. It's better than most of what you can make at home and easier to grow.

The Ouroboros and chemical, alchemical reactions are the key to the unity of matter and processes. I do Have an old Inorganic chemistry book I could recommend very useful! Which i had self studied from.. though im happy someone else posted the CRC Handbook: >11201 I can also vouch its very great, symbolic, legendary perhaps to have at hands reach on a shelf or lab, problem is getting your hands on one that is cheap unless like me, you dont mind second hand and old books. but some inconsistencies with the book I am about to recommend as it is "old" 3rd edition from 1935 to be exact even giving details where one may find certain elements on a map. what I would like to share is: Inorganic and theoretical chemistry F.Sherwood Taylor, gem for foundational understanding and yet if you develop youll come to learn inconsistencies that existed many decades ago which will develop your knowlege and thinking one such case was for Neptunium and/or more elements being made of thought of and detaching from one or more reactions youll find. Then youll think..maybe just maybe some aspects of modern science are slightly off too. Of course for Organic chemistry Id recommend something more recent as there have been more recent breakthroughs in this field,

how to get started with learning chemistry for practical experiments? is Linus Pauling's book General Chemistry still relevant?

>>12868 The book is okay, but I think you'd be better served by a highschool text. Pauling spends the beginning of the book talking about crystal structure and mass-energy equivalence. You'd be better off skimming through an easier text's sections on the difference between compounds and elements and jump straight into stochiometry. Linus's book does have some nice chapters on the properties of different groups (congeners) that OP would like, so it's worth picking up and skimming, but don't try to follow it.

>>8673 this is something i too am interested in albeit am broke and can't afford to make a homelab, but hopefully one day, not to mention how most notable country nowadays got heavy restrictions on diy science especially limiting the amount of chemicals one can obtain here's something that might be of help https://ptable.com/ https://chemstudent.net/ https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ (this is probably what you were looking for but this more on the medicine side) science madness is already recommended all chemistry books usually let you know where specific compound could be found or its source of origin, formation, synthesis, extraction methods etc.

>>12868 rather take up a general chemistry course from mit ocw finish that in a week or two, then get your stuffs going refer https://4chan-science.fandom.com/wiki/Chemistry_Textbook_Recommendations note: don't bother too much about the high school & undergrad general chemistry section, they are unnecessarily wordy for no good, use mit ocw general chemistry as your starting point or first 200 or something pages from atkins, then you can simply move on to organic and inorganic chemistry etc, you can start experiments after or during atkins
