Fuming nitric acid is defined as having a concentration of HNO3 greater than 86%. This is much higher than the conventional 68% of common lab nitric acid. The reaction between the nitric acid and the nitrile and latex gloves is extremely exothermic and violent. It is often recommended to avoid using gloves altogether when working with fuming nitric acid unless resistant gloves are available (e.g. butyl rubber gloves). Regular concentrated nitric acid is still not good to use with latex gloves. Latex offers little to no protection. Nitric acid can quickly penetrate the glove and then irritate skin. Fuming nitric acid is not nearly as common and it is used in much fewer reactions. For example, for the synthesis of high explosives. The high concentration of HNO3 is required in order to nitrate a molecule several times. For example, TNT, or tri-nitrotuluene, is prepared using fuming nitric acid. It is possible to di-nitrate it using concentrated nitric acid, but the third nitration is unlikely to occur, so yield will be zero or uselessly low. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBVdGGml6bU

In this video, we will be making lithium hydroxide by reacting lithium metal with water! I plan to use the lithium hydroxide to make some lithium based drugs (used to treat bipolar disorder) and to make lithium peroxide (reacts with CO2 and produces O2) I plan to do an Q and A video, so if you have any questions you'd like me to address in the video, leave them in the comments.

hey guys, today we are going to be making denatonium benzoate (finally) from lidocaine, benzoic acid and benzyl chloride that I made in previous videos. Benzyl chloride video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWFTYQ-x-SM The intro video was made by user Linus Tuttle (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH7PcCXEeVWejAZYblDrmxA). Thank you!

In this method, caffeine is extracted from tea. The type of tea that is used isn't very important (as long as it is caffeinated). The amount of caffeine recovered is small, but this is for fun and not for large yields.
