im a chem student at UTD, and im going to say one thing.

Chemistry is very important in understanding how to synth compounds properly for example.

You can take a recipe for acetone peroxide.

Anyone may say use this much or that much well perhaps you decide to boil your Hydrogen peroxide to 30% well obviously, you are going to need to change your concentrations or you risk having to much hydrogen peroxide left in solution that didn't displace into AP with the acetone. All this is easy to figure out with some simple adding and multiplying math and basic chem but to many people assume they are unable to understand it. So all I'm saying is I challenge you to understand these basic reactions because they aren't that hard. Try and do the math and if you get confused ASK ASK ASK me or got to chemistryforums.com and ask them they'd be glad to explain where you went wrong.

ANOTHER THING IF YOU EVERY DECIDE TO MAKE CHEMICALS AND YOU DO NOT HAVE A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT YOU'RE MAKING. DON'T MAKE IT (EXAMPLE) AGAIN ILL USE ACETONE PEROXIDE. IN THE CREATIONS OF THIS SOLUTION AS IS EXPLAINED IN THIS WEBSITE HYDROCHLORIC ACID IS USED. THIS ACID IS HIGHLY REACTIVE. ACIDS DON'T "MELT" STUFF THEY REACT WITH THEM HENCE DON'T PUT THIS STUFF DOWN YOU'RE DRAIN BECAUSE IT WILL REACT AND CRYSTALLIZE. INSTEAD LISTEN TO PEOPLE ADD BAKING SODA TO NEUTRALIZE IT. ANOTHER THING MAKING STRONG HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT IS A VERY STRONG OXIDIZER. WHAT'S AND OXIDIZER YOU MIGHT ASK SOMETHING THAT WILL ADD OXYGEN TO THINGS EX IRON + OXYGEN = IRON OXIDE. EASY TERMS 100% HYDROGEN PEROXIDE + IRON SING = COMPLETELY RUSTED WATER SYSTEM

I'm sure to many kids and people are so willing to jump on the train and say yeah I understand this AP thing it's so easy but what they don't tell you is what you leave in solution when they reaction is done. From now on I advise people to figure out how to dispose of these chemicals instead of making bombs and then dumping the rest outside, not that anyone does but some 15 year old who just wanted to blow something up may very well destroy 2 square feet of grass with his HCl acid. So in pursuit of chemical knowledge let's not just teach how to make bombs but why we should encourage safety before, during, and after the reactions are completed.

THINK BEFORE YOU REACT
THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT HERE WHO WILL HELP YOU TO UNDERSTAND BEFORE YOU BLOW THE WORLD UP.
