    "I think it depends on what chemistry you're doing."
    As a chemist, so much this. On one end, you have "I basically do physics with extra steps" physical chemists to "I know 79 different ways to kill a shit ton of people, 27 of which are incredibly painful" bioinorganic chemists.

    At my university, a practical class in Organic Chemistry I used to teach the process of extraction of secondary metabolites from plants by extracting cocaine from coca leaves and letting students leave with whatever they managed to extract in a little dark glass bottle. Unsurprisingly, it was later changed to extracting caffeine from grounded coffee beans (for obvious reasons) and you couldn’t take the final product home with you. However, an older colleague at my current lab still has her sealed bottle with the product as a memento. Fun times.

Even the less dangerous methods are risky as you're usually a few degrees away from turning a solution from relatively harmless to poisonous and/or highly reactive at any given moment. Generally, the slower you go, the safer it is. Temperature control is the real key, and Grandma's candy thermometer is usually not up to the job. On a related note, there was a very interesting episode of A Thousand Ways To Die about a meth chemist using red sulphur- a VERY temperamental chemical- when cooking. He was using citric acid in the mix and had a habit of dipping his chewing gum in it to bring back some flavor now and again. He accidentally dipped it in the red sulphur- without realizing it- bit down, and blew his jaw clean off when the sulphur exploded under the pressure.

    I remember a period about 10-12 years ago when some chemical involved in the production of MDMA (molly/ecstasy) went on the banned substance list in the UK and it caused chaos in the illicit party scene. It kind of had the opposite but highly predictable effect of what was probably intended where a relatively safe street pharmaceutical suddenly became super sketchy because all these labs were having to use all kinds of different methods/processes/chemicals to try and make the desired product and turning out stuff that was at best, not great and at worst, deadly.

      I remember those days too. It was because Cambodia and Thailand destroyed around 1,300 barrels of sassafras oil. Normally they would have been shipped to Europe to distill into safrole to make MDMA but the authorities decided to crack down that year and caused a drought that lasted a few years. At least until somebody figured out that they could use PMK Glycidate as a starting material instead of safrole, thus freeing the production process from needing to depend on natural sources (sassafras trees) in far away parts of the world. 🙂

    Bromine water treatment is HUGE in industrial water systems where you don't want algae and other crap in the water. It's uncommon in systems you swim in, but it's the norm for the big water cooling towers used for data centers, power plants and other things. In the large data center where I worked the cooling system was a water-spray type (heat from the air conditioners is transferred to water which heads outside to a giant tower and it's sprayed as droplets that cool down as they fall through a 20 foot tower) and we had a tank of Bromine salt solution that was periodically added to the water to keep a constant level of bromine. This was to stop bacteria and amoeba dangerous to human health (like Legionnaire's disease-causing Legionella bacteria, and the "brain eating amoeba" Nagleria Fowlerii) as well as plants that would clog up the system from growing.
    It was also hilarious that you could see he KNEW the names of the chemical he was calling "the first one down" and "the second one down" but he was trying not to get you demonetized so he was trying VERY hard to dance around the actual names

    The talk about the periodic table is kind of funny, because one of the things we were tested on in my inorganic chemistry class was, in fact, whether we could remember the periodic table. Like, prof just gave us a blank table with the atomic numbers written all out, and listed off a bunch of numbers for us to fill in the element. So I'm not a chemist now, but back when I was studying chemistry (the only major chem classes I managed to avoid were biochem and physical chemistry - I'm an environmental chemistry major, so those fields were deemed less essential to my knowledge...instead, I took organic, inorganic, a crapton of analytical chem, plus some geochemistry and biogeochemistry...which is actually, technically a sub-discipline of microbiology), I knew the periodic table really well. It helped a lot though, because I could estimate molar masses and do back-of-the-envelop calculations when I had no periodic table available to me (you get to remember a few common elements' molecular masses - oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, iron, sulphur....those guys).

    Step one: Gather the necessary ingredients - pseudoephedrine, iodine, lithium and a beaker.
    Heat it up - slowly and carefully - until it turns yellow-red.
    After the solution is completely mixed, you need to place the beaker on a burner and slowly boil the contents until it becomes pink.
    When the mixture has turned pink, you need to stop the flame and let it cool down to room temperature. Be really careful when taking it off the heat source because it will be very hot.
    Once cooled, you can filter the pink mixture through a coffee filter to separate any solid particles.
    Gather another beaker and fill it with distilled water. Transfer your filtered solution into this one, stirring it while adding drops of hydrochloric acid gradually.
    After the acid has been added, stir the solution for some time - until a white, crystalline substance appears at the bottom of the beaker.
    You will notice some liquid left over. This is water, so it just needs to be evaporated. You can simply do this by placing the beaker in a warm place until it dries up.
    When the solution has completely dried, you need to scrape out the crystals that were in the bottom of the beaker. Be careful to get all of the water residue off.
    You are not done yet. You need to crush the pink crystals into a fine power using a mortar and pestle or a grinder.
    After the crystals are crushed into a powder, you can use a scale to measure it and package it accordingly.

    Bromine, as an element, is potentially really useful for a lot of chemical applications. Just look up industrial uses of it and you'll find several completely unrelated avenues of use for it. It was huge when leaded gasolines were around because a bromo-organic compound was used to prevent lead buildup in engines. With gas being unleaded now though, bromine's relevance is more obscure, but it's still there. It pops up every now and again in any pharmaceutical/chemical research lab, and the most common place in the biotech industry is in the form of bromophenol blue, which is both a common pH indicator as well as a potent blue dye to analyze macromolecules (DNA and proteins).
    But bromine kind of sits in a weird spot in terms of pure chemistry, because there's a lot of situations where chlorine, which is much less toxic, can be used instead. It often means using a lot of chlorine to make up for it, but that's a tradeoff people don't question. That's kind of the purpose of bromine now, the textbook example in every organic chemistry class of "we could do that, but we wouldn't want to"

    As I understand it Bromine cannot be stabilized from sunlight (and chlorine can be), so it would gas off too fast in direct sunlight. But I think bromine is considered a better sanitizer (maybe for higher temps, or it is less smelly? IDK), so it is used in hot tubs more commonly than chlorine as hot tubs usually have covers on them.

  • @jakesnow4816

    Bromine is used in outdoor spas and pools because the sunlight causes the chlorine to gas off and bromine doesn't gas off as much which means less chemical consumption and better disinfecting capacity

    Minor error:
    While technically cocaine can probably be cooked (I don't have any idea how) it's far easier to simply grow coca plants and to extract it.
    Even that is a pain because unlike weed or even opium, coca can only be grown in very specific conditions and have a low yield.
    This is why meth is so popular, it's a stimulant like cocaine but you can make it cheaply

    • @Ang3lUki
      @Ang3lUki 2 роки тому +1

      Coca plants also take forever to mature. That's why even though it could be grown elsewhere, it's only grown in South America because it's just too risky, it would take years to get any yield and most places where it can be grown aren't know for stable local governments. There also just is very little demand for cocaine outside of the Americas, probably because it's so hard to get and so expensive on other continents. It probably could pay off, but nobody wants to try.

    The only reason you don’t hear of people making cocaine in their basements is because you need coca leaves or coca extract, which is damn near impossible to get your hands on as Americans. Meth, on the other hand, doesn’t require any organic materials at all, and can be made essentially by anyone who can source the required chemicals and drugs needed to make it.
    I am curious to know why more people aren’t making their own heroin, since opium poppies are actually completely legal to grow in the US. And especially because pure heroin is essentially unheard of in the US for the past 5 years or so. Everything is basically fentanyl now.
