Damn, bet the shipping on an HCl tank would be a bugger.
And 70% HF? oleum? jesus H. Thats the sort of thing that probably shouldn't be sold via ebay, lest inexperienced chemists stumble upon them,
especially the HF.
Phosphorus fairly often appears, although often in small quantities for element collector's samples. He's even seen violet P once, going for some £20
a gram, for a few small broken up chunk crystals. Tsath's hoping his attempts will lead to being able to grow single crystals, both for himself and
for other element collectors, in order to both be able to provide fine crystals of the allotrope and make himself some money to put into his equipment
and reagent funds.
And to try and get himself a really good piece of native tellurium, like that astonishing and really rather beautiful, gemstone-quality crystal of
native Te on sylvanite theodore gray has. Great looking thing, growing out of a long sylvanite crystalline rod, the crystal form kind of looks like
bismuth, only with the steps inverse in direction, shape-wise, shiny and most definitely a potent inducer of lurid, radioactive-green covetous

CaC2 can be useful for drying alcohols, after first the usual methods of predrying, especially sensitive ones that wouldn't take to distillation over
CaO. Predry first, and distill from CaC2 and it will react with the last traces of H2O, forming acetylene.

Been meaning to put in some myself, my first order from him went perfectly, he even combined shipping after I wanted to add something late, while he
waited to receive the first items to send me. Thanks mario.

1 g 10% palladium on carbon
950 ml formic acid
1 lb sodium chlorite
500 g polyphosphoric acid
500 ml propionic acid
Plus some more glass beakers. So now I have way more sodium chlorite than I'll ever need... Does anyone want to purchase some?

Acquisition of Sodium Chloride
February 21, 2017
I purchased a 730 gram canister of sodium chloride at a local shop. This is the third time I've done this in a week, and the store personnel appear
suspicious of my large volume sodium chloride purchases. I'd rather not have to come up with a cover story to hide my chemistry activities (for
example: "Oh haha, I just like to make beef jerky in the middle of the night."), so I'm going to have to look for a new supplier.

I bought some a long time ago... I think it was 5 grams of palladium chloride for $35. That will get you about a gram now.
I wouldn't mind having some now, but I'd definitely want to try to get a good deal on it.

I obtained 100 grams of sodium metal. It's starting to feel like I have a half decent lab now

I bought four bottles of asprin, 560 pills in all, and containing 182g of ASA. Total cost $4.22.
I wonder what the people at the store think, a 15 year old buying 25 lethal doses of aspirin . I've also bought bleach, ammonia, two pounds of salt, half a gallon of windshield washing fluid, and four tubes of toothpaste (extracting
fluoride is a huge mess, waste of money) there so they must be used to it.

It is not the shop keepers business to know how much salt you require to have brine baths for that 'personal' problem
CAUTION : Hobby Chemist, not Professional or even Amateur

That's only 2-3 lethal doses of aspirin, right?
Most people think it is completely cool that you are doing chemistry, but there are some who are convinced that hobby chemists are up to no good. I'm
really not very worried about it, but I have had to explain very adamantly to more than one person that under no circumstances will I make any drugs
for them.

@JJay Hmm, I was going off of this wiki page about methyl salicylate. It says that 20 300mg pills is nearing the lowest published lethal dose of 101mg/kg. I should read more
carefully. It seems that a more accurate number would be 300-500mg/kg. Using the lower limit there should be around 10 lethal doses then, for a 60Kg individual like myself.
And yeah, I find many people just think at home chemistry is cool. Then there are people like the woman I saw while purchasing some surplus glassware
at a local college. She asked "Are you making drugs?" and was not satisfied with my answer of no. Then she told me not to blow up my parents house.
She came off as very rude. I suppose most of the public is ignorant to chemistry though, so I can't blame her.

Ususally food grade is better quality compared to technical. Technical grade is not meant for human consumption and thus has impurities which
potentially could be harmful.

yeah im surprised, i got it today and it says 99.85% pure. Im surprised ive never had GAA before, but i have dealt with ACetic Anhydride, and even
though it doesnt smell quite the same, it still has a very strong smell coming threw the bottle.

A little bit of water makes a big difference in the freezing point. Anhydrous GAA will freeze in a cool room.

i dunno why i do this, i could have easily left it in the shitty plastic container but i like putting my chems in better looking glass bottles and
labeling them with a little labeler i have.
So this is what my Citric Acid looks like

i am officially retarded. i bought a 30ml bottle of Analytical grade Aniline for $30, plus $15 for shipping because i honestly thought that was the
only source for it! Now i realize there are MUCH cheaper sources with far greater a mounts. i dont think ill be ordering from that company again, they
seem to sell only Analytical grade chems.
