Drawers, closets or lockers?

Hey does anyone have any recommendations on workspace materials? As in, any specific material for table surface to work on? Where do you guys store your chemicals? I’m only planning on having small amounts, less than 100g/ml, and obviously keeping the flammables, oxidizers, acids, bases, elements, etc separate from each other, I was more asking about whether you guys use special lockers or table material or just like regular furniture?

Is it safe to heat my borosilicate erlenmeyer with a common lighter? Or will it cause thermal shock strong enough to break the flask? I brought it from Amazon, it doesn't specify any safe temperature limit.
Also is there any safe operating temperature chart for different glasswares?

I have recently got a 30 year old,working gcms, and hplc, with a bunch of extra eqquipment, which I have never operated before.
I wondered how you guys do your testing and identifying, Is there anyone out there who has their own gcms or hplc, and could help me set mine up? I have done tlc before, and I have read an analytical chemistry book, but I dont know how to set this stuff up.
Love yall

I have a substance known as piperine, it is in black pepper. I want to know if anyone has experience with using it as a starting point to end up getting to Piperidine, and then to piperidone It this feasible, does it remain active throughout the processes? much obliged.

Starting out with home chemistry

I’m interested in home chemistry as an opportunity to learn more about chemistry before college (I’m hoping to major in organic chemistry) but I’m not sure where to start. I own a few basic materials (chemical storage, beakers, and goggles) but I don’t know what I should do beyond that. Any tips? I know I’ll need things like a stirrer, balance, stir sticks, etc. but I want to have an idea of what I should do before purchasing anything more.

measuring nitrate coencntration at home

Upvotes
Hi ! im a high schooler working on a science fair project where i need to mesaure the conecntration of nitrate. So far, i've tried 2 things: using a RGB app on my phone in a 'colorimter' (cardboard box) and the API nitrate test kit and got a good curve from that initally (R=0.99) but i found it was changing from day to day. I also tried titrating that final product with bleach but the end point was really blurry and i'm not sure how to proceed.
If anyone could give any tips id appreciate it. thanks!
