EU lawmakers figured sulfuric acid can be useful for making explosives so they decided to ban the sale of 10%< concentration to private customers. Battery acid is banned for normals here. There are workarounds but im sure someone ill intentioned will find it easy to just steal an old car battery. Adding that its somehow fairly trivial to concentrate and purify its just a pain to do regularly.. funny the price stayed the same for 1L bottle but it was 98% compared to 10% now..
Yeah, paranoid politicians tend to ruin a lot of good things. Here in the USA, you can't get DCM in paint strippers any more, because they thought it was horribly poisonous. If I could tell them anything it would be this: people who want explosives can make them from almost anything (even air, as I've shown on this channel). Taking away sulfuric acid won't do squat in the long run. Who knows? Maybe they'll come around someday!
I should note that in the 60s There were plenty of chemical supply companies and even kids could buy any quantity of it: buying a small or large spice sized container of Thorium compounds, Mercury, etc. I know this cuz I have a 'antique' collection from a guy that would also get his supplies from the same place and said he was always in line with kids. Being 60yrs old I was going to create a YT series showcasing the supplies and performing tests on them to see what ones have held up, which have degraded, etc.

I'm 50 yo and just started exploring chemistry. It has always been a desire but I just always was to busy to dive in. I was thinking about setting up a small lab and this video was perfect. Thank you and I'll be watching more of you.
Not particularly chemistry related but when you talked about the batteries it reminded me. Some batteries have a solid carbon rod in the center. I don't know exactly what they would be called but I know they are never the alkaline batteries. They tend to be the cheapest ones as well. Handy if you are doing any projects with arcs.
Oh yes, I know about the old zinc-carbon (lantern) battery trick! Comes in quite handy for lots of people, although I get most of my graphite rods from pencils (I actually used pencil lead to arc weld one time, albeit pretty poorly, haha).
Nice tips. The only thing I would add is to stock up when you can as some of these can suddenly become very hard to find or the prices skyrocket without warning. I've dealt with that too many times. The key though is to do it in such a way as to not arouse suspicion. Last year I cleaned out my local hardware store of H2SO4 drain opener after I found out they were no longer going to carry it once their stock ran out. Every few days I was in there and grabbed 4 or 5 bottles at a time along with a bunch of plumbing fittings. I'd go back and return the fittings, get more bottles and more fittings and repeat the process. 20 or so litres later I had all of their stock and now I have enough to last me pretty much for the rest of my life. I only need it for making HNO3 so the hard part now is the nitrate salts. Luckily I found a GREAT cheap source for Magnesium Nitrate dirt cheap.
Magnesium firestarters in the camping section have a block of solid magnesium and a rod of ferocerium metal as a source for rare earth metals. In the cooking section there is alum, sodium chloride(probably want non iodised), potassium chloride (sodium free salt alternative) and potassium bitartrate (cream of tartar). Polyethylene glycol can be found in the pharmaceutical section. Sodium tetraborate can be found in the laundry section as Borax and makes a nice green color in the flame test(best result is with boric acid from roach killer and methanol from HEET, gives a perfectly green flame without the sodium ions). At the hardware store copper sulfate can be found as a root killer(fairly pure blue crystals that work great for electroplating) and potassium permangenate can be found in the water treatment section(fairly expensive here, about $15-30 a bottle).
If you work for a company that has any kind of analytics lab, go through anything they throw away. I’ve found broken stuff in the garbage that cost a fraction of its new purchase price to restore to working operation. A fluke temperature probe that just had battery corrosion was in the trash. Fixed it for the cost of a few paper towels and some DI water. New price: $350. Fischer Scientific stirring hotplate in the garbage needed a new control board but the model was obsolete. Found another broken one on EBay for $100 and swapped the boards. New, that plate was almost $600. Never underestimate a company’s willingness to throw away what could be fixed.
Oxalic acid in (bartender friend or something similarly named) in the cleaning section. Copper sulfate as root remover Kmno4 as aquarium clear Found 100% ISO at a plumbing supply store Hexamine in camping section or Army surplus stores as Instant camping stoves/fuel Oxone at Wallyworld as pool shock.

Yeah same. It is hard to me to even get potassium chloride in my country. Like wtf?? And the only reason for that probably is that the goverment thinks people would make potassium chlorate with it or use it to kill people. It ain't even that poisonous even when injected.
For the chemistry I recommend having a supplier I have a supplier prolab scientific. Ebay and Etsy workd well for me but Prolab is a good choice. Also pharmacy for alcohol is quite good choice.
Just to add to that, besides lithium metal from lithium batteries and MnO² from alkaline batteries, you can also get carbon rods for electrodes from carbon batteries.
IF you have a way to separate Phosphoric acid and Sulphuric Acid then you have a source of both. There are milking sanitizing/cleaning products (for cleaning milkhouse floors/equipment). Its sold by the gal and goes for like $10-20. Lowes carries root killer for Copper Sulfate, pure hardwood charcoal (for elemental carbon), Soldering supplies.
How is your PhD ? I got my Master's in 2011 and my phD in organ-metal transition catalysis (chemical engineering) in 2013. I went to pharmacy school before I came to my senses. I have some great stories.
Great to see you and i have been essentially buying the exact same products for the last 8yr... i miss the days of buying a gallon of dcm/methanol from the hardware store, but i can still find toluene every once in a while. That acid is good but my all time favorite at least here in Florida was Liquid Lightning - it was 93% and crystal clear sulfuric acid, but i have to order it on ebay now
I don't know in USA, but in Italy (at least some years ago) it's possible to buy some copper salts, potassium bicarbonate, calcium hydroxide/oxide, urea, some nitrates, ammonium sulphate, ecc... in gardening shops, blue methylene and eosine in pharmacy like as boric and citric acid, in the brewing aisle you could find sodium metabisulfide and sodium percarbonate. In supermarkets there are: sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, some tartrates, ammonium carbonate (bakery aisles), ecc...
Great video… I was going to pay 12 bucks for a court of 30% supheric acid for a battery . You put the game on blast in the most non offensive or suspicious way., good job man.. very very interesting.

Does anyone know of any good reactions to do at home? I was going to do the synthesis of geosmin but I'm not comfortable messing with bromine, so does anyone know of anything else I could do?
Here's an odd question: are there modern manuals that give ways to determine the chemical composition of a substance WITHOUT the fancy reagents? (Am I using the right word?)

Shouldn't there be information like, add lemon juice and it turns green?
100% isopropanol can be bought online from places like eBay, but benzene is almost impossible to find (unless you talk to a specialized seller or a chemical company). You can make it yourself, but you'd need a distillation setup. Honestly, if you're just looking for a solvent to clean watch parts with, toluene and xylene are very similar to benzene and can be bought much more easily.
