This is probably the longest video that I've ever posted on my channel, but I wanted it to be as complete as possible!
A few months ago, I saw a video made by AvE where he tried to make transparent wood. After seeing it, I was really interested in trying it out for myself, and well, I did.
This video was originally released on Patreon on Nov. 10, before I left to Japan for vacation. I will be back on the 23rd though!

Today we are making a bromoalkane using the NaBr/H2SO4 method. In a previous video I did the PBr3 method, but this one is honestly a lot better (at least for 1-bromopentane).

About a year ago, I saw one of the weirdest reactions that I've ever seen. It was called the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction and it's one of the few good examples of an oscillating chemical reaction. I decided to try and do it myself, and this video summarizes the process that I used.
*At the 5min mark, I say 1.5g phenanthroline monohydrate, but 5g is written. It is indeed 1.5g though.

Today I'll be making glowing stuff again, but this time I'm going to try out a more environmentally friendly method.
In the previous video, the active chemical I made was TCPO. This required 2,4,6-trichlorophenol as a precursor, which is damaging to the environment.
The prep for this video uses wintergreen (methyl salicylate) instead, which I made in an edible chem video.

Today I've decided to make dancing flames. It's done by burning a mixture of aluminum, copper sulfate and hydrochloric acid, and it's something that I saw on the internet.

In this video, phthalimide is synthesized from phthalic anhydride and urea.
Phthalimide is a useful precursor to anthranilic acid and it can be used to convert alkyl halides into amines.

In this video, I decided to try and extract indigo dye from an old pair of jeans. I managed to find a decent way to do it, and in the future, I'll try to scale up the process and do it on a full pair.

This is part2 of my soap series, where lll be making liquid soap. If you haven't seen part 1, I strongly suggest that you check it out before this one.
The major difference with liquid soap, is that it uses potassium hydroxide instead of sodium hydroxide.
