SUMMARY

To successfully create substances like chloroform and glycerine, a foundational understanding of chemistry is essential. A degree in chemistry, chemical engineering, or industrial chemistry is recommended, along with self-study using textbooks such as "Chemistry: The Central Science." Access to proper laboratory equipment, including a fume cabinet, and potentially a license depending on local regulations, is also necessary for safe experimentation. Online communities like ScienceMadness provide valuable resources and support for aspiring chemists.

PREREQUISITES
  • Degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or Industrial Chemistry
  • Textbooks such as "Chemistry: The Central Science"
  • Understanding of laboratory safety protocols
  • Access to proper laboratory equipment
NEXT STEPS
  • Research advanced chemistry textbooks and resources for self-study
  • Explore online communities focused on chemistry, such as ScienceMadness
  • Learn about laboratory safety regulations and licensing requirements
  • Investigate the setup and maintenance of a home chemistry lab
USEFUL FOR

Aspiring chemists, hobbyists interested in substance creation, and students pursuing degrees in chemistry or chemical engineering will benefit from this discussion.

Hy , i m a chemistry beginner

I m trying to be autonom in everything
And i want to be able to make my own substances.
For instances Chloroform , glycerine etc

You need to study:

1. Either a degree in chemistry or chemical engineering or industrial chemistry or chemE with minor in chemistry.

If self studying:

1. The same books for chemistry majors and/or chemical engineers.

Chemistry the central science (the book)
^ is pretty good, there were some good sources on the deep web but they have gone I think. There are online communities for chemistry too which are really good..

And apart from this, you need a lot of money and a proper set up at home, one that includes a fume cabinet and maybe even a license depending on which country and how far you want to take this hobby.

Thank you very much !
 
Wait , what sources on the deep webb?
Can t i find it normally ?

Or buy them ?
 
Sorry for late reply btw.
 
I was really interested in chemistry ad researched a lot of stuff.

One website I recommend is this:

http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/

the book is "chemistry: the central science" or other college level books (look at university literature)
