Making nitroglycerin

Things you will need

95% < sulfuric acid: purify draincleaner containing it from the store

95% < nitric acid: run some nitrogen dioxide through distilled water purify afterwards

Glycerin: avaliable everywhere

Ice bath: tub full of ice and water

Containers: glass

Method

Take a Container and add a 1:1 of sulfuric acid and nitric acid

Put the container in the ice bath

Suit up in whatever safety gear you think is appropriate this might blow up in your face and we don't want that

Add a few drops of glycerin very slowly DONT DO TO MANY TO MINIMISE THE RISK OF BLOWING YOUR FINGERS OFF I'm not responsible

Nitroglycerin will start to form

Wait some time and put it somewhere away from your house

Use a mixture of sodium carbonate and water to neutralise the acid

And add water to help separate the nitroglycerin it should be white globs at the bottom

Take out the nitroglycerin
Happy terrorism
I will make how to make dynamite if this gets well recived

Why is the sulphuric acid needed?

It's used as a catalyst so you can make it before you get caught it also prevents it from exploding and makes the whole process "Safer"

Any explanation as to why it works? I get that chemistry is more of a series of recipes and not so much a theoretical science, except for organic
These globs, do you have to dry them?

>Nitrogen dioxide
Need a more available precursor.

Sorry glowies the only terrorism I commit is sexual and against myself

Yea, pretty obviously glowie bait when they list precursors which are basically unobtainable and one of the most dangerous explosives one could produce. There are much safer alternatives which are easier to produce. I thought I'd bait them back but they never respond :(

in highschool me and my buddies made nitro, left some oil residue on our shitty glassware and had it spontaneously combust on us.

stay safe anons

Just grab some reagent-grade HNO3 from the chem dept.
