i use nano3/kno3 ” …
i use nano3/kno3 ”kno3” myself, works great for FP but ya it is hydroscopic i think its because that i use AN and then NAOH/KOH

im 15, and i guess they will need my name, and thers some really bad in my name… i mean really..

If you want you can …
If you want you can buy Potassium Hydroxide from chemical supply stores [use the telephone book] (tell them you need for an electrolyte)

Sodium Nitrate …
Sodium Nitrate works well for smoke compositions but I wouldn’t recommend for explosive mixtures as it is hygroscopic and I hear that it is not that strong

yup.. just need it …
yup.. just need it for potassium NITRATE

Well caustic soda …
Well caustic soda is as powerful as caustic potash. unless you need caustic potash for the preperation of potassium compounds Caustic soda will do fine and caustic soda is also more soluble in water.

ya.. where do i get caustic potash? i only saw caustic soda.. and i live in denmark = no walmart

haha lol we use this at work at a farm and i left some in a milk churn in water 90degC like 1 to 1 concentration and i came back like 5 mins later…… my boss wasn’t impressed

there is potassium/sodium hydroxide in caustic soda… sooo.. (: i guess i can try that stuff myself

thanks a lot thats …
thanks a lot thats very useful information, i’m gonna leave it until I can find food grade stuff. Which I am assured does exist, though finding it is not gonna be easy I’ll wager….

Any mixtures of hydrogen and chlorine can explode upon exposure to light.

this is probarbly …
this is probarbly not suitable because most caustic soda contains a trace of aluminium to stop people making drugs with it. i don’t know where you can get it without the added aluminium trace or how to remove it.
it should be possible to make it by electrolysing a solution of salt and water but ths releases hydrogen AND chlorine gasses. chlorine is toxic and if the hydrogen reacts with the chlorine toxic hydrogen chloride is formed.

GBL > Xyrem (GHB), …
GBL > Xyrem (GHB), as my prescription to treat my cataplexy is WAY too expensive at the moment, and I realised that its amazingly easy and cheap to make it yourself.
I cant find the data sheet for it. But I dont think I’ll be using it, I’ll try to get some food grade/lab grade stuff.
On B&Q’s site I did notice that another brand of caustic soda they sell says its 99.9% pure NaOH. But it looks like a different one compared to the “concentrated caustic soda” I brought. So…. I dunno….
June 22nd, 2009 at 12:02 pm
the stuff from B&Q …
the stuff from B&Q is in granulated form and needs adding to a solution.
the solution here was made by disolving the granules in water until no more would disolve. i is probarbly about 95% pure.
i may be able to help you if you tell me what your intended useage is.

Can someone please …
Can someone please tell me what the difference between caustic soda and concentrated caustic soda is?
Is the concentrated more pure? Because i’ve brough some from B&Q and I need to know its purity percentage, whether its food grade, lab grade, or what. It has to be above 99% pure NaOH for my intended useage, but the bottle does not tell you.

This is pretty cool. I’ve always had an interest in chemistry. Very unfortunate that I’m awful in it >_>

LOL! After the …
LOL! After the second addition of Al, It was so exothermic that most of the vapor was steam! He could not ignite the hydrogen because of all the steam. Judging by the stociometry, the NaOH solution needs to be fairly dilute, like 5%. I want to make a H2 reactor as I have SEVERAL pounds of Coke and Pepsi cans.
