In this video we make chloroform from bleach and acetone. The yield is a little lower than expected because I used an 11% excess of acetone, which is too much.
A while ago I made some NaK, which is a potentially explosive mixture of sodium and potassium metal. And something that I've always wanted to do, is combine it with liquid nitrogen.

Today we are making a bromoalkane using the NaBr/H2SO4 method. In a previous video I did the PBr3 method, but this one is honestly a lot better (at least for 1-bromopentane).

In this video, I will demonstrate one method how to extract bismuth metal from Pepto-Bismol.
This is not my procedure. It is a scaled up version of the procedure posted by TheChemLife:

In this method, caffeine is extracted from tea. The type of tea that is used isn't very important (as long as it is caffeinated). The amount of caffeine recovered is small, but this is for fun and not for large yields.
I adapted the procedure from here: http://employees.oneonta.edu/knauerbr/chem226/226expts/226_expt06_pro.pdf

Today I'll be making glowing stuff again, but this time I'm going to try out a more environmentally friendly method.
In the previous video, the active chemical I made was TCPO. This required 2,4,6-trichlorophenol as a precursor, which is damaging to the environment.
The prep for this video uses wintergreen (methyl salicylate) instead, which I made in an edible chem video.

In this video, we make some methylamine HCl from formaldehyde and ammonium chloride. Be aware that this might be illegal to do depending on where you live.
I decided to try filming some videos in 1080p 60fps. A few other videos will be like this, but I have found that I don't like it. I still prefer 4K.
I used Chemplayers methylamine video as a guide and the link is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qRxQBQFO4E

A few weeks ago I made some bubbles that I filled with hydrogen gas, and I thought it was pretty cool. Since then though I've built up some courage, and I want to try making bubbles with a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen
WARNING: Mixtures of hydrogen and oxygen gas are flammable and potentially explosive. This experiment was performed in a controlled environment. Please don't recreate what I do!

Today I will be making some glow sticks from scratch. Ill be starting with basic chemicals and making a main glow stick chemical, TCPO. I combine the TCPO with a few other chemicals and make some homemade glow sticks.

This is just a regular light bulb, but I'm only interested in its insides. This is because I've been curious to see what happens, if I turn it on in liquid nitrogen.
