In this video I use steam distillation to extract some lemon essential oil (Limonene), make lemon perfume and bake a lemon cake while really enjoying the smell.

Amateur Chemistry's super duper very basic cake recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of flour
- 3 whole eggs
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 cup of sour cream
- 1 big spoon of butter
- 2 small spoons of baking soda
- Something to flavor the cake (Nothing if you aim for the most basic experience)
Preparation:
Get the eggs (Without the shell of course) into a big bowl followed by the sugar, butter, baking soda (Important!!!) and sour cream. Mix them very thoroughly, and when the mixture looks good begin to slowly add the flour in small portions while constanly mixing, now you can also add the flavoring if you want. After all of this you should be left with a really thick mixture which you now have to put into a baking tray, and bake at 180 degrees Celsius or 356 degrees Farenheit for 45 minutes. After the baking take the cake out of the oven and enjoy!
I wonder if someone actually tries this

[@imagorll]

The best chemistry is the type that you can eat (without killing you). Also, I think a video on waste disposal in general would be pretty interesting and educational

[@Amateur.Chemistry]

I plant to make a video on waste disposal in the future, but I firstly have to get some waste to work with :)

[@nunyabisnass1141]

Not knowing or having the ability to properly dispose of neutralize waste has kept me from a lot of experiments, but that's a good thing. You don't want ppl running around pouring chromates down the sink.

Magic lemons is Poland’s greatest kept secret! Fresh lemonade is one of my favorite things ever, especially on a hot summer day 😊. I’ve always wanted to make pure peppermint oil from peppermint grown in the garden. Maybe a fun project for next year? It grows so fast! Maybe you can find a patch to grow some various mint plants. :)

[@Amateur.Chemistry]

Extracting peppermint oil might be a really great project, I could theoretically make some pure menthol from it, thanks for suggesting that :)

[@BRUXXUS]

@@Amateur.Chemistry Yay! I’d love to see that. I’ve always loved minty candy, so that would be really fun. Making some pure menthol crystals would also be fun to see. 😃

Watching your videos is always a good experience. dont try to change the channel. Too many do the videos and stuff that can only be afforded or accquired at what most would see as 'limiting' to average hobbyist chemist. Sure, buy better equipment and better chems and do phd level of reaction/creations and garner ad sponsors, etc (you will as time goes on. i assure you) ... but put that more advanced stuff on another channel.... This Amateur Chemistry channel is amazing in EVERY single way. don't dump us.

[@Amateur.Chemistry]

I really just cannot believe that someone likes my videos this much :) I will keep things on the channel as they are, I will maybe try to improve the editing and work on my voice a little, but other than that my home chemistry style probably won't change :)

I needed this today c:

[@chemicalmaster3267]

@Amateur Chemistry That polystyrene dissolving in lemon oil reminded me of something: why not turning that nasty plastic into benzoic acid (or even some benzoate of your choice) by doing a pyrolysis of polystyrene to obtain impure styrene which can then be distilled to purify it. After that, it can be reacted with some alkaline potassium permanganate to form a soluble benzoate salt which can be treated with some acid to form almost insoluble benzoic acid.

[@Amateur.Chemistry]

Thank you for giving me another really cool video idea, I could potentially turn the benzoic acid into benzaldehyde of benzyl chloride and with these I could do even more cool stuff. Also while we are on the topic of styrene - do you know a relatively easy way to turn it into phenylacetylene? I am trying to make some rubrene for DIY glowsticks and there is not much information about this procedure anywhere

[@chemicalmaster3267]

@@Amateur.Chemistry I have never heard of phenylacetylene until you mentioned it now. From what I´ve found now it is said that it can be easily made by the reaction of molten sodium or potassium hydroxides with bromostyrene.

Kot.

[@experimental_chemistry]

Although in this case it works this way, too, it is no steam distillation in the true sense: for this purpose separately generated steam has to be injected into the heated mixture. 🧐 11:44 This hazard symbol doesn't always mean that the substance is carcinogenic. It can also mean other risks for human organs like in the case of hexane. More information can be found in the responding H-theorem. Just replace hexane by heptane - it's less unhealthy. Recipe tip for the cake: using lemon juice instead of lemon oil makes it tast more fruity. 🧑‍🍳
