- I answer all of the questions that were asked last week in this probably too long video. This took me six hours to put together...

Isn't it an exciting moment when a celebrity chemist notices your CZcams channel? I still remember the moment ChemPlayer subbed to me a few months back.
Wow, I don't think they've subscribed to me. My proudest moment was when Doug's Lab followed me on Twitter. Too bad Doug has gone missing recently....
Tom's Lab Yea. I hope nothing bad happened to Doug. His channel is one of my favorites.
its good to be noticed by senpai~
Thanks for answering my questions! Funny enough I just ordered Vogel’s book a few days ago. Going to definitely look into the other one. :)
when will u make mor thermite vids?
Keep up the great content
I'm very impressed with the equipment you have and your knowledge, especially your being a high school student. What got you started being interested in chemistry? I just subscribed.
I've always liked science, and liked chemistry the most because it's the most hands on and flashy of the sciences (I suppose that biology is also hands on but living things are more variable and I like how predictable chemicals are) and it is quite accessible. When I was very young I LOVED vinegar and baking soda reacting. I got more into chemistry in 2013-14 (I was 12-13) when I started finding chemistry videos on CZcams. My favorites included ones with fire and/or explosions. Of course I immediately wanted to replicate these at my house. Although I wanted to do stuff, I didn't like the idea of mixing together chemicals without actually knowing why or what was going on. I started reading a bunch online and eventually decided to buy some basic equipment and a few chemicals. I had already collected household items that I could use or contained chemicals I wanted. I still remember the five chemicals I ordered online: sodium hydroxide (1 pound), potassium nitrate (1 pound), hydrochloric acid 31% (30 mL), sulfuric acid 98% (30 mL), and potassium permanganate (30 g). My first experiment with my new things was making manganese heptoxide, which didn't go so well when I got some on may arm... Eventually I got out of my "kewl" phase and started to appreciate chemistry for how awesome it is. I did chemistry on and off for a while until a year and a half ago when my interest was suddenly peaked (not sure why). I've learned so much since then and come very far, and I see myself going even farther in the future.
Wow celebrity haha, you nearly have more subscribers than me these days :P but white phosphorus is a good choice, i'm going to see if I like it or not next week.....
Well if CZcams didn't delete your channel you'd have over 10K I bet :D
What are you using phosphorus for?
Yeah, you just made your 500 sub q&a, but here you are nearing 600...
I'll have to work hard to stay ahead now that you're making narrated videos :)
I have that textbook too but in PDF tho. $US 2500 is a lot considering you are at high school and all, do you get some support from your parents?
I have also spent ~$1000 on chemicals in addition. I get some support from my parents, probably $100-200 a year. That's in addition to birthday and Christmas presents, which are 90% or so chemistry stuff.
Hi-media Amazon rules
It really does, you can find some really cool stuff on there.
How do you get rid of waste material.
It depends on what it is. The majority of what I do produces waste that can just go down the drain with extra water. I have storage containers for different heavy metals that shouldn't go down the drain. These are aqueous based so when they fill up I will dry them up and continue using. Eventually I will either pay to get these disposed of or try to recover useful compounds from them (important to keep everything separate). Dilute acids and bases can usually go down the drain, more concentrated solutions are neutralized. Strong oxidizers are reduced before disposal. I keep waste organic solvents (when it's not worth the time to purify) and then burn in the backyard. Halogenated organics soak in a strong sodium hydroxide solution for a while. Most waste organic compounds are mixed with solvent and burned. Anything that doesn't fit into one of these categories I will research beforehand on how to dispose of safely and in an environmentally friendly way. For example I had a hydroxylamine solution, to destroy it I acidified and boiled with some acetone. I don't have or produce any chemicals that I am not able to dispose of.
2:46 phenyl isocyanide did i hear it correctly? what uses do that have?
TM Fan Its smell is unbearable, even as a solution.
I can't find my comment on you last video . Have you deleted that or is youtube deleting it.
I took it down because it wasn't important anymore after I published this.
Who is cooler Andy or joey
Joe because he asked a question.
I don't like organic chemistry as much as inorganic because in organic reactions are slow and not so amazing as inorganic chemistry . Also organic preparations require many other solvents and fractional distillation apparatus . It's easy to synthesize inorganic stuff.
I usually find organic chemistry more fulfilling, although its more expensive, takes longer, and doesn't work as much
Hi Toms Lab BIG FAN!! Any insight on Ag4O4? I can’t find any videos on your channel about it. I have no idea who to buy AgNO3 or K2S208 . Any links? Thanks a lot!!!!!!!
Be glad you don't have any heavy metal salts laying arround, they are way worse than cyanide ...
Oh and how can we pm you? Email? We have got an idea for something you may like... we already got some peoole involved (:
I agree, I have compounds of nickel, chromium, vanadium, barium and manganese but none of the really bad ones like mercury, lead, arsenic, thallium, etc. Acute poisons aren't that bad (well maybe phosgene is bad), chronic poisons are the scary ones.Yeah email is fine. I'm usually bad about checking but I'll try, diphitom@gmail.com. I also check my Twitter and SM account (Geocachmaster) fairly often.
Tom's Lab alright we'll contact you shortly
With poisons somehow we got a whole bottle of 50+ grams of cadmium oxide.... till now i used 300mg.... :D
When I first started chemistry I was super scared of chemicals. I bought 450g of sodium hydroxide and didn't dare open it for a long time. It wasn't until a year later that I actually did. Fast forward to now and I just bought 500g of chloroacetic acid (still really excited about that one :D)
Tom's Lab organics aren't that horrible
Stuff that bioacumulates is horrible, you can't just oxidize it to make it harmless (like you can with cyanide)
We wish we had as nice access to chemicals as you have
It's very very very hard to buy stuff here without filling in tons of paperwork and crap....
We have got our ways to get some chemicals but it's still difficult and we can't get stuff we would like to have (oxalyl chloride... large quanity of methanol, cheap dcm, easy nitrates, perchlorates....etc....)
Try to check your mail tomorrow, gonna send you a mail
Due to time zones just check the mail in 24h or so
Oh how I would love some chlorinating agents. I can get methanol, DCM, and nitrates very easily, but chlorinating agents are hard to get in most places :(
Some PCl5 would be very nice. With it I could make thionyl chloride, oxalyl chloride acetyl chloride easily. It might be possible for me to order this (although unlikely), but most US chemists could not.
Germany (I think that's where you are) sounds no fun as a chemist. Can you get phosphorus there?
I'll check my email then :)
