Making nitroglycerin
By: lawfulpotato Date: October 20, 2017, 2:11 pm

To make nitroglycerin, we first have to make nitric acid.
-------------------------------------------
1. Nitric Acid –
Material Required:
-Potassium Nitrate (2 parts by volume)
-CONCENTRATED sulfuric acid (1 part by volume)
-2 bottles or ceramin jugs (narrow necks are preferable)
-Pot or frying pan
-Heat source (wood, charcoal, or coal)
-Tape
-Paper or rags
NOTE: The amount of nitric acid produced is the same as the
amount of potassium nitrate. Thus, for two tablespoons of
nitric acid, use 2 tablespoons of potassium nitrate and 1
tablespoonful of concentrated sulfuric acid.
Procedure:
1-Place dry potassium nitrate in bottle or jug. Add sulfuric
acid. Do not fill the bottle more than ¼ full. Mix until paste
is formed.
2-Wrap paper or rags around necks of two bottles. securely
tape necks of two bottles together. Be sure that bottles are
flush against each other and that there are no air spaces.
3-Support bottles on rocks or cans so that empty bottle is
SLIGHTLY lower than bottle containing paste so that nitric
acid that is formed in receiving bottle will not run into
other bottle.
4-Build fire in pot or frying pan.
5-Gently heat bottle containing mixture by gently moving fire
in and out. As red fumes begin to appear periodically pour
cool water over empty receiving bottle. Nitric acid will begin
to form in receiving bottle.
6-Continue the above process until no more red fumes are
formed. If the nitric acid formed in the receiving bottle is
not clear (cloudy) pour it into cleaned bottle and repeat
steps 2-6.
The reaction that has taken place here is:
KNO3 + H2SO4 = HKSO4 + HNO3
-------------------------------------------
2. Nitroglycerin –
Materials Required:
-nitric acid (made by us this week)
-ice (made possible by the freezer)
-sulfuric acid (already invented)
-thermometer (already invented)
-sodium bicarbonate (already invented)
Procedure:
1-Cool 13 mL of nitric acid using the ice created by the
refrigerator.
2-After it has cooled, add to 39mL sulfuric acid (99% h2so4),
mixing very slowly.
4-Cool the new mixture to 10-15°C, which we can measure with
the thermometer already “invented.”
5-Slowly add enough glycerin to cover the entire surface of
the acid.
6-Keep the solution below 30°C.
7-Stir gently for ten minutes, then the nitroglycerin will
form as a layer on top of the acid solution, while the
sulfuric acid will absorb the excess water.
8-Filter out the nitroglycerin and place it in sodium
bicarbonate, which will neutralize much of the acid remaining.
This will help to stabilize it.
10-Now slowly and carefully remove the nitroglycerin from the
bicarbonate. The usual test to see if nitration has been
successful is to place one drop of the nitroglycerin on metal
and ignite it. If it is true nitroglycerin it will burn with
a clear blue flame.
The chemical reaction going on here is:
C3H5(OH)3 + 3HNO3 + H2SO4 = C3H5(NO3)3 + 3H20 + H2SO4

we need a resistance/rebel section for this

You should bring over your old gun guides and post it in the MPF
section, kek
