Not really a reagent, but a chemical... Soon I will be receiving a used (5mth old) bubble dosimeter, hopefully it still works reasonably

25kg sack of NaBH4.
I wanted to put this up last time but I forgot before it was mostly gone.
I think this big one is more impressive than 25 1kg bags anyway

My recent chemical purchases
-4535.95 grams potassium nitrate
-4 liters sulfuric acid
As you can probably tell im distilling nitric acid.
Maybe I shouldn't have ordered those together in hindsight...
"Is this even science anymore?!"

2 more books of PH indicator paper -
also some assorted beakers and a new 500ml grad cylinder as i was a little clumsy and broke two at the same time.
they were in line for cleaning and a little domino effect got them while carelessly placing a heavy 10l bottle of detergent near the sink for

Not sure about the legality, but buying 100g of red P from eBay is a good way to get the DEA to come busting down your door in the US

While not chemical order, I thought I would share this lucky find! A perfectly working Thermolyne 13025 four position hot plate / magnetic stirrer for
only $40! Thank you Craigslist! All plates heat and stir properly. The stirrer motors are quite noisy, and likely need some lubrication or some other
form of tlc, and two knobs are missing, but I'm quite happy with this purchase!

500 ml acetic anhydride, ACS
500 ml ethylene glycol (they sent me a liter)
500 g urea (just to have a proper label for the OTC product, and was cheap)
I never asked for this.

Why would you make a comment that adds nothing to the discussion/thread?
Maybe if somebody is looking for a reagent and you mention you received some you could share your source or some of the reagent?
Anyways. To stay relevant with the topic, I was given an almost full, 30yr old 500 bottle of benzene not long ago

A 500 ml bottle... Not quite full... It was going to be disposed of so of course the hoarder in me took over.
1000! Didn't even notice! Party time! Let's get out the 30ml ethanol serving glasses and celebrate!

Well, I'm going to buy a 500 ml of benzene from korea for about 60 CAD shipped in the next few days. It is just so damn useful...
I never asked for this.

Isn't benzene carcinogenic/toxic? It must be a pain to work with it if you don't have a fume-hood or work outside.

But it smells so good...

Benzene is carcinogenic, but its toxicity is exaggerated strongly. It is not instant death in a bottle. Acute toxicity is low, comparable with the
acute toxicity of toluene.
I consider working with benzene as smoking cigarettes. If you occasionally do an experiment with this and you breathe a small whiff of this a few
times and then you don't work with it for years, then I see no issue with it, just as smoking cigarettes a few times does not lead to cancer.
If you work with benzene every day and you breathe a few small whiffs of its vapor every day, then in the long run it may have adverse effects and may
induce cancer in your body.
How do you copy with such risks? That is a personal choice. Every action you take in life introduces some risks. Each chemical experiment with toxic
chemicals may introduce some risk on illness, but also eating fast food, drinking (too) much alcohol and many other things introduce risks for adverse
long term health effects, each time. Of course, you must weigh the risks. Working with benzene a few times in my opinion introduces acceptable risks,
working with e.g. arsine introduces unacceptable risks.
In general there is too much chemophobia in our society and even here on sciencemadness I frequently see it when people get afraid of certain
chemicals are freak out when they have had a one-time exposure to a small amount of the chemical. Smoking, drinking, painting your house, filling the
tank of your car, working with certain artists pigments, and many other things are considered OK, while these things (e.g. vapors) are as harmful as
many of the chemicals we are working with in our experiments. Good common sense is your best friend in all these things. Avoid exposure as much as
possible (e.g. do not do your experiments with benzene in a small badly ventilated room), but do not exaggerate (e.g. no need to wear a full gas mask
when working with benzene for a few times), and certainly be not afraid of the chemicals (if you are, you'd better take another hobby).

5 3gram jars of potassium permanganate from a pharmacy. I love pharmacies in Poland, you can get potassium permanganate, in the Netherlands they told
me I needed a prescription to buy permanganate.
