Chemical assistance to person from silly country
I need clearance on some things that I cant figure out because I live in a country where almost every chemical have been renamed to something stupid
and unrelated to what it is.
the following Chemicals are the ones that "dont exist" in my country:
Potassium Permanganate
Potassium Nitrate
Potassium Chlorate
If anyone knows what those things are used for I might be able to find out what it is called.

Potassium permanganate is used to clean iron out of older water filtration devices. It's also sometimes used to treat fungal infections. Potassium
nitrate is used as a fertilizer and as stump remover. It has also been used to preserve meats and is sometimes sold at drugstores, though I don't know
what its medical applications would be. Potassium chlorate has no consumer applications that I'm aware of.

Potassiumchlorate can be used as weedkiller, but you'll usually find the more soluble sodiumchlorate for this.
Don't ask me how, but I can buy it at a paintstore.
One shouldn't accept or resort to the mutilation of science to appease the mentally impaired.

very dangerous
Hellhounds are, after all, hounds from hell. They will pierce the bones of the living with their jagged, venomous teeth. They will sear flesh with
waves of flame from their nostrils. And they can't even be housebroken. I would stay well away from the hellhounds if I were you.

I believe a 'hell hound' is a deflagerating thermite bomb. As you can imagine that is quite the vicous sight, hence the name, hell hound.

A "Hellhound" is basically a very dangerous Fuel-Air Explosive (aka FAE), but instead of using regular igniters, a thermite is used. The
original FAE first appeared at the vietnam war (used by US forces).
Though I have yet to attempt to make this thing, I know for a fact that the killing radius for this thing is huge (over 100 yards). Not recommended
unless you're an expert in alchemy and chemistry!
The device works like this: When the thermite is ignited it superheats the liquid fuel. If the container you used is strong enough to hold the
pressure the fuel does not boil. When the thermite burns down to the explosive, it explodes rupturing the container and releasing the superheated
fuel. The fuel expands, cooling off and making a fine mist and vapor that mixes with the surrounding air. The hot thermite slag is also thrown into
the air which ignites the fuel-air mix. The result is obvious.

Interesting. I should probably build one to impress my neighbors on the coming new years eve. Would 100g of thermite and 100 liters of petrol be
overkill?

Taking that into consideration, axehandle, do you really hate your neighbours such a lot? 100L does sound a bit too much, and I'm not referring
to the costs involved!

100L would need more than 100g of thermite I can imagine. What sort of container do you think you would need to pull something like that off. Sounds
like a scary sight.

RE: Medical use of saltpeter.
I believe, that potassium nitrate is a diuretic, it was in use at around 1890's, but I don't think you will have much look getting that way
as it's not much used nowadays.
One place I HAVE seen it tho, is in chinese supermarkets for curing meat.
