hey guys, today we are doing a little bit of azeotropic distillation in order to dry some oxalic acid. It is a cool technique and I finally get to bust out my Dean-Stark apparatus

In this video, we are isolating some starch from potatoes. We also talk a little bit about starch in general. Potato starch is better than corn starch because it forms a nice clear solution in water.
I am going to be using it for the Brigg's Rauscher Oscillating clock reaction and maybe some other things.

Hey guys, this video has been a long time coming. The acetone that we make here from calcium acetate isn't super pure and it is more as a proof of concept than anything. The yield also isn't super amazing.
I also just noticed that the last video has almost the same thumbnail...oops
RIP. Always remember the flask and the heating mantle.

Capsaicin is basically pure spiciness, and it's the main chemical that gives chili peppers their heat. Even in the stronger ones like habaneros, there's actually very little in each pepper. It's so strong that when I've tried it in its pure form, I don't even find it very spicy, and it kind of just hurts.

This version of the distillation is for the people with a small attention span. I keep it to the point, with no background details.
If you want the full one, here it is: https://youtu.be/d6SahlAFV-w

REUPLOADED DUE TO SOUND ISSUE.
Note: For a sugar wash, you probably don't need to sterilize anything. Just wash it with soap and water. The presence of other microbes can alter the taste if you plan to drink it.
This is a very basic way that you can make your own DRINKABLE ethanol at home. The main premise of this video is to show just how simple and easy it is to ferment your own alcohol. In a future video, I will try to dispel some myths regarding homebrewing, such as the exaggerated risk of methanol poisoning. I will also demonstrate how easy and safe it can be to distill your own ethanol from the wash that you produce.
In this video, I prepare a sugar wash (fermentation of sugar only). The process is similar to the preparation of wine or beer, but uses pure table sugar instead of a variety of different sugars, fruits or other additives. Also, more yeast is used in order to speed things up a little.
The final product should be ready in a week or two. If you want to drink it, you can. Just clear it first using a clearing solution and clean the taste up using activated carbon. It still won't taste very good though.

What I have here looks just like a generic rock, but it's actually pretty dangerous. All of the white stuff is actually asbestos, which is horrible to breathe in.

Note: A good portion of the MnO2 from these batteries is actually carbon. It still worked for my bromine synthesis, but it is something to keep in mind.
Hello everyone.
In this video, I get manganese dioxide, zinc and carbon from Zinc-Carbon batteries.
There is a significant amount of carbon in the MnO2. It is not worth the time to try to separate it out though, unless you need pure MnO2.
I used the manganese dioxide to make some bromine. This was filmed in 4K and will be uploaded eventually. The MnO2 can also be used to generate oxygen from hydrogen peroxide. I go over this in my liquid oxygen video and oxygen generator video.

In this video we make some fun SiCl4 from silicon metal and chlorine!
I ideally would have used all glass joints and adapters but I didn't have the supplies to be able to do that. It was suggested by blogfast25 on ScienceMadness that maybe the red stuff was a reaction of the chlorine with the rubber adapters.
