Hello,

can someone tell me about Organic Chemistry experiments that can be done without lab equipment?

experiments that can be usefull in our day lives?

Thanks

A question this vague will get a vague answer.

Yes. It can be done.



Please take the time to read around on this board and get used to the etequitte before posting new threads. A very large number of common, specific questions have been discussed and answered in detail. A very large number of vague questions are impossible to answer: such as the several that you have posed. We tend to put such threads in a special place called Detritus where they can be forgotten appropriately.

sorry if its similar to another topic...

my question:
can you refer whats the name of the experiments that can be done without equipment?

can you give practical examples?

also,if you can give link for similar topic..

Thanks

still vague, without equipment, you mean nothing at all like just your bare hands? or just not anything like beakers, flasks, hotplates etc?
anyway, yes you can do a few organic chemistry experiments without lab equipment, but you still need something, something found in a normal kitchen for example.
to start try Saponification of vegetable oil, there are many tutorials everyehere on the web, not just this website

Well, it can be done of course.
That's how I started chemistry years ago.

I took pepper and salt from the kitchen, the treasure chest from my action figures to mix it all in with water and voilà !

I was six.

@ipwn: Have you seen this book? It describes a lot of chemistry that can be done at home and how to make the equipment from stuff around the average home.

The Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments by R Brent.

It is easily downloaded from various online site.

can you give more book examples?

what organic compounds can be easily synthesized without equipment or basic equipment that can be easily obtained?

Thanks

Ipwn, you keep asking vague questions.
There is no such thing as "no equipment". A coffee mug is equipment. A candle flame is equipment.

I am rather fond of the Maillard reaction. It is the formation of various imines from reducing sugars and compounds with an amine group at temperatures exceeding 140°C. It is relatively straightforward to do.
You need a hot metal surface. A little triglyceride oil aids heat transfer. The simplest reagents to use contain a mixture of amino acids and glycogen for the sugar. A 1 inch porterhouse steak is excellent. Heat for four minutes on each side being careful to keep the surface temperature above 140. Add a little NaCl and some dried crushed berries containing piperidine. Anything that tastes delicious is the desired product.

Heterogenous mixtures of low explosives

Damn right the Maillard is definitely a good reaction to do in the kitchen preferably with a bottle of red or two...
