Don't you think that having your own chemical laboratory is a really cool thing? Isn't it?
Like we all see in the movies, we see all these scientists and superheroes in their
basement working heavily in some kind of lab, doing some really cool type of stuffmixing chemical cocktails and whatnot! Seems interesting, huh?
This Instructable will lead you on one of the best ways to make your chemistry
laboratory, all in an economical and resourceful way!
Step 1: DISCLAIMER
All the people who wish to do this Instructable do it on their own risk.
I am not responsible for any losses and damages.
The ones who wish to this this Instructable, must use Safety Protocols at all times.
Well, these are the places that I looked into and scavenged the best I could have. But if
you are a more daring person who can handle something more, try the car battery for
Sulfuric Acid (~90-95% w/v), etc!
If you also want a heating source, you can opt for a Butane/Propane burner which are
sold in the form of campsite burners.
4. Sodium Acetate: This can easily be made by mixing acetic acid (white vinegar)
and sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate.
5. Ethyl Ethanoate: This can be made by mixing acetic acid (white vinegar) and
ethanol (25 % sold as spirit).
6. Copper Acetate: You can make this solution by electrolysing the sodium acetate
solution using copper wires. In some time, you'll observe that the transparent
solution has turned blue.
You could make some more and post the suggestions on my OrangeBoard.
See, chemistry is all about mixing stuff up and experimenting. Just do some permutations
and combinations and you'll end up making something new! That's what I did!
A garage
A basement
A small room with good ventilation
Under the staircase like Harry Potter ;)
Well, any place with a good ventilation is very good and is a potential location to set your
lab up.
Make sure that small children don't get too close to your lab.
Step 8: Experimenting!
Now that you're stocked up and ready to do something, just experiment.
7. After that, you'll see that the bottle has stiffened up to its fullest. If you've taken a
tough bottle, don't worry, it won't burst. Keep the bottle on the ground.
8. Now, with your left foot, pin the middle of the bottle to the ground. Place your
right foot on the neck of the bottle.
9. With a sharp pull, pull your right leg towards yourself, in order to open the bottle
with your foot.
Now, with a BANG!, at a supersonic speed, the bottle cap will hurl ahead!
