I'm pretty sure that i saw something like this on here a while ago, but i cant find it again. Does anyone know where i can find the household equivalants of chemicals used in smokebombs,stinkbombs,etc.

Most chemical equivalency lists outright suck and are many times wrong of full of otherwise useless information. Silicon dioxide is sand, so fucking what? Even the one posted here sucks as it is apparently the same one all wanna be chemists pass around.

carbon carbonate does not exist, chalk is calcium carbonate which is also lime, not calcium oxide.

Sodium hypochlorite and sodium hypochlorate are both known as bleach, the chlorite is much more common.

Sodium carbonate is baking soda, Sodium bicarbonate is baking powder.

Ammonium hydroxide is ammonium hydroxide, not ammonia. Ammonia is a gas, aquaous ammonium hydroxide is what you can purchase at the grocery store, ammonium hydroxide need not be dissolved in water though.

Iron rust? What other type of rust is there?There are corrosions and oxides of other metals, but they are not called rust.

I think a monkey may have written this and perhaps a monkey allowed it to be posted at Totse.

sand is sillicon dioxide not sodium dioxide.

Bleach is just a sodium hypochlorite(NaCl0) solution, sodium hypochlorate does not exist.

Napalm,

You sure about that? I didnt' think so for the longest time, but if I remember correctly Fisher Scientific and Ashland chemical both sell it for $4.70/lb. I'll look it up again to double check.
