I'll have to look around, perhaps in some fertilizer stores.

CaCO3 would have to be heated around 800 degrees(celsius) to get CaO. I doubt it's easy to do at home, you'd probably need some special equipment. About electrolysis, why is this filter necessary? And could you please describe how to set up the neutralizing solution for chlorine?

ok, thanks for the replies and cragar for the more detailed explanation :smile: about safety, how safe is the release of hydrogen into a plastic bottle? Can any dangerous reactions(with oxygen?) occur? and what other risks are associated with this process?

As I don't have an access to a laboratory I'd need some help with electrolysing salt solution. First, what electricity source should be used? Is a battery sufficient and how many V should it be? What materials should the anode and cathode be made of? As poisonous chlorine gas forms at...

And how to collect the hydrogen?

Is it possible to make NaOH at home? One possibility that comes to mind is via electrolysis of solution of NaCl(table salt-easily obtainable) but it involves some complications. Chlorine gas will form at anode, which is poisonous. How to collect it or make it harmless? Also hydrogen will form...
