Neutrino, isn't that picture of the distillation apparatus from the United Glasstec website? As for the iodine, if it's a good picture I
will try and use it, although it appears I will probably be getting more pictures of iodine then anything else on my list.
Organikum, the pictures in this thread are not coming up for your copper condenser, are they elsewhere on the forum as well?
Anyone else, just send pictures to my Gmail box (in my profile) and I will be able to sort them better. Any pictures I use will get the picture taker
credit where credit is due, if you want your name to appear in the credits in a certain way then include that too otherwise it is just sciencemadness
name and your country if you have it listed.
Thanks a lot everyone!
Note! I posted a list of pictures I am trying to find on the previous page of posts, please check it out!

Maybe I misunderstood you. Do you want original pictures or pictures that came from just anywhere?

Original pictures of course! How convincing are some castrated pictures from some corporate website?

Ah. You might then want to know that that bromine ampoule is one of Theodore Gray’s.
I have some Vycor tubing lying around. Do you want a picture of that?

Check your Gmail. I still need to do the iodine vapour and titration pic. They should be done within the next few days.

I updated at the start of this month to keep with my trend of updating once a month. This update amounted to 25 or so pages and as usual the page on
my page relating to the project had the series of subjects updated as well to reflect their degree of completion. I made a list of subjects that I
would like something written for, being that I have little to no firmiliarity with them or thing I would do a terrible job of writing the sections
(being that I really am looking for experienced people to write for them), I will post this listing of subjects hopefully this weekend.
Again, thanks to all the people who have contributed!

Okay, going to be a little late getting the update for the book project this month (I usually go for the first week or so of a month to update). This
is because I am taking school and working and it's really taxing me, but school is out for the summer soon so I can get back to work on the book.
In the mean time I made a list of sections that I would really like for other people to write. I can use help on everything, I'm always
accepting more sections from people and look foreward to getting more, but I made a list similar to my requested pictures list that I posted a while
back, this on is for requested topics. If you want to help with this take a moment to look at this, thanks a lot everyone!

Yup, it's down, so is the host's website, I'll change my signature when it's back up.
In the meantime I've got two additions to the book, thank you IPN and Cyrus. Always looking foreward to more additions from other people. Been
busy lately trying to get more good pictures and working with waste disposal methods and such. I should have an update at the begning of next month
seeing as how my school schedule will cease by then. I'll post a good update to this thread then.

Just a thought, but along the lines of the real chemistry book I was asking about in the newbie forum, could you add a really large section on
practical chemistry, with a lot of inorganic stuff. Things like how to make this or that, what side reactions and dangers there are to look out for
(what to expect, reactive strengths, etc.), and so on.

Very nice job on the book; I appreciate it and the hard work of those behind it.
Hm, I have a couple pictures I'd like to offer that I think would illustrate principles, processes, and perhaps spark ideas.
Some I already have on PC and other things I can just take pictures of. Examples:
Iodometric Titration w/o starch indicator
Bromine Distillation, and a bottle with about 150mL
Silver Spoon Dissolving in red fuming nitric
Picture of molten silver casting w/ furnace
Nifty hydrogenation setup
A large thermite reaction, couple pounds of magnesium burning in a graphite crucible.
Quite a few pictures of some elements I've collected.
Now you want these .jpg right?

Those all sound like spectacular pictures, I'd be extremely happy to add them to this project! JPG is a fine format.
I have just finally got a good reliable internet connection back and I will put up what I have of the book either tonight or tommorow, much more work
needs to be done in the coming days though as a I haven't incorporated everything that I've gotten from donors lately into the book.

Excellent! I'm glad to be able to offer my small bit in this huge project. I'll scan and crop some photos for you. Thanks for the excuse to
do a couple reactions I've been wanting to do

Fantastic Project
Hello everyone,
I just wanted to say what a wonderful project this is! So far, the project is beginning to look like an excellent practical manual with a scope
ranging from the inexperienced to quite advanced laboratory tecniques.
I understand the aweful auto-correct feature in Word--it sucks particularly when "scientific" language is used. Everythime I
"train" the software, Win crashes, and I end up having to reformat and start over. GAH!
I can and will supply many of the pictures that you have requested. I have for example, a TLC developing jar where the Iodine has sublimed into rather
large crystals; violet vapour is apparent.
I also will attempt to provide content that is derived from direct experience. Is there any section that you are requesting specifically?
I would also like to suggest sections involving the resistance or lack therof of glove materials and specific chemicals--for example (from
experience)-DCM (chloroform too) penetrates both latex and nitrile, where it will burn the skin (With this chemical I do not use gloves! I shake it
off, allowing it to rapidly evaporate;BP=40C) and for the energetics fans, di-trinitrophenols (sp. sec-butyl-2,4-dinitrophenol) will penetrate nitrile
without damage. This leaves you with yellow fingers, a flushed appearance, rapid heartbeat, profuse sweating, and a migrain (classic decoupling of
electron transport) .
Additionally, a section involving the design of home and professional laboratories may be interesting.
Sorry about the long post, great project!

Finally posted an update.
After nearly 4 months of no updates I finally updated what I have on my site. It has grown by about 15 pages, nothing major. I still have some text
from individuals that needs to be incorporated but it's coming along well, any help is appreciated.
There are some minor formatting issues in the PDF where the text is going off the screen but those will be corrected easily enough, also starting to
format the rest of it to make it look nice. I added to various parts but for the life of me I can't rattle off a list of what I have worked on
and what I haven't, I've been working on it on and off for a while and school has really been hitting me hard. Hopefully I will get some
more nice pictures for it and some people here will feel inspired to contibute.
Aside from more pictures and formatting I feel a few parts are written in a way that focuses much too much on just the technical side of things and I
may need to 'dumb' them down, or at least make them more readable, this is supposed to be for the average person afterall, readable, not
boring like some of the things I've added. And the section on safety came out much too stiff and serious, and there seems to be an uneccesary
slant against energetic materials in the safety section, although I don't research in energetic materials it can of course be fun as many members
of this board prove all the time and it can be persued in a safe manner, although that is not the goal of the document, to tell the synthesis of
potentially explosive compounds, that doesn't mean I should have that negative slant toward them, that's just wrong it should just help
people in whatever aspect of chemistry they choose to go to.
Anyway, much thanks to all those who have contributed and I hope you like where I am going with this.

One thing I would do is put those sections on separate pages with a main TOC with links to the sections/pages, so you don't have to scroll forever and
have a hard time finding a specific place. Also the link for the following image, just below the quoted text is bad. It took me a while playing around
(one slash is reversed also) and comparing to working image links but I finally got the correct link for it, the corrected image links in this post
work.
"Below are some steps we can take to get our solution concentrations."

If I had to guess I would say some images did not get copied over from an older to a newer server space?
Anyway, just FYI for everyone.

I didn't even realize that I had done anything with the book during my aol days. I will try to fix those images asap so that they work correctly.
I'm way behind posting an update and I intend to separate out the sections so that I can work on them better and put them all back together at the
end.
As always I accept submissions to sections. For some reason I thought I would finish this project in a year or two.... It's coming along I guess.

Anything as good as this book is takes much time, a work of love. Humor me though and have two versions, one where each section (like 1, 2, etc.) is a
separate page with a TOC link page, so I can read it without scrolling through one masive page. Because of my vision I keep my computer screen size
low, a max of 800 by 600, so I can read the print. Makes it easy to scroll around in a page if it is not so long.
Just a thought.

I'd just like to say, excellnet work on the book, but I've found one error.
In the alkali metals section there is this claim that "Lithium perchlorate actually contains more oxygen, gram for gram, then liquid oxygen." Which
seems to me to be a physical impossibility. Should that read "by volume" or more active oxygen I guess?
Keep up the good work!
EDIT: I read on another page on the site that lithium perchlorate is one of his favorite compounds since it has more active oxygen than liquid oxygen,
I guess that's what he meant.
