Finding Chemicals And Labware | Home Lab Setup

Duration: 6:26

Surprisingly, a lot of useful chemicals can be found at your everyday supermarket! And in this video, I'll be showing you a few of the most useful ones you can find. I know this video is a bit different, but I figured it would still be worth posting, since a recent poll I did showed a lot of people wanted me to make a video on this topic. More videos to come soon, and of much better quality! Where I get my glassware: https://www.homesciencetools.com/ My hotplate/stirrer: https://www.amazon.com/ANZESER-Magnetic-Stirrer-100-2000rpm-Heating/dp/B07S58GVCB/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3S75XRM44S2U4&keywords=hotplate+mixer+heat+plate+magnetic+stirrer&qid=1640069316&sprefix=hotplate+%2Caps%2C92&sr=8-4 A few good distillation kits (bottom one is the one I own): https://www.amazon.com/VEVOR-Distillation-Borosilicate-Distillations-Purification/dp/B08WZZ2177/ref=sr_1_12?crid=CGOB1B99FXWF&keywords=distillation+kit&qid=1640069392&sprefix=distillation%2Caps%2C98&sr=8-12 https://www.homesciencetools.com/product/organic-chemistry-standard-glassware-set/ Some "honorable mention" chemicals that didn't make it into my video: Magnesium - firestarters Phosphorus - match striker pads (some workup may be required) Nitrous oxide - empty whipped cream cans Cyanuric acid - pool chlorine stabilizer Sodium hydroxide - 100% lye crystal drain opener Potassium chloride - non-sodium salt Calcium chloride - "pickle crisp" granules Sodium bicarbonate - baking soda Acetylsalicylic acid - aspirin tablets (workup required) Vanillin - vanilla extract (workup required) Crude benzaldehyde - almond/cherry extract (workup required) Sodium bisulfate - pool/pond pH increaser Copper sulfate - root killer/fungicide (available at Home Depot and Lowes...maybe Walmart too)
