Organic chemistry experiment
« on: October 04, 2015, 02:39:09 PM »
I would be thankful if someone could give me some experiment that is connected to organic chemistry and that could be done at home, without any additional chemicals that can't be found in an ordinary store. It doesn't have to be anything spectacular, just something that could be done at home and with items that I could buy in a general store.

There are so many...

That one maybe? Please be careful with the hydroxide.

a drawback is that I still ignore what the product is.

What about making soap? Not incredibly exciting, but it's easy to get the materials
My research: Google Scholar and Researchgate
