AI Thread Summary
To successfully create substances like chloroform and glycerine, a foundational understanding of chemistry is essential. Pursuing a degree in chemistry, chemical engineering, or industrial chemistry is recommended, but self-study using textbooks like "Chemistry: The Central Science" can also be effective. Online resources and communities, such as the Science Madness forum, provide valuable support and information. Additionally, setting up a proper home lab requires significant financial investment, including equipment like a fume cabinet, and may necessitate legal licenses depending on local regulations.

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
And many other basic substances

So what do i need to study in order to make these substances correctly in a lab .

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 !

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 reccomend is this:

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

the book is "chemistry: the central science" or other college level books (look at university literature)
 
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
