Backyard Chemistry

College has completely killed my lab time

Well, I'm attending a wonderful university, but no matter how remarkable the chemistry classes may be in the future, nothing will replace the lab. This quarter I am in an accelerated general chemistry class, which will most likely be extremely boring given that I know all of the material.

Backyard Cemistry

Hello All,

Today I am launching my own chemistry website entitled "Backyard Chemistry".

Current amateur experiments listed are:

• Synthesis of Pyrophoric Iron from Ferrous Oxalate
• Preparation of Pure Manganese Dioxide from Batteries
• Building a Ball Mill
• Recrystallization of Potassium Chlorate
• Chlorate Cell
• Synthesis of Sodium Acetate
• Modified LeBlanc Production of Potassium Carbonate
• Nitric Acid
• Bromine
• Sulfuric Acid

Enjoy!
