We now see another wonderful book in chemistry titled Experiments Without Explosions by O. M. Olgin.The book consists of six parts. The first part contains advice on how to set up a home laboratory, and preliminary instructions that are essential for any beginning chemist on how to work, and the dos and don'ts of chemistry. The other five parts of this book describe the experiments, experiments without explosions. In order to separate the groups of experiments, and make it easier for the reader to select an experiment, each part is divided into chapters.Many thanks to gnv64 for this book.CONTENTS Preface 51 The Home Laboratory 14 2 The First Experiments 31 Drawing with Iodine 31 Home-Made Indicators 32 Extraction 36 Experiments with Gases 38 Oxidation-Reduction 42 Adsorption 46 Dry Cleaning 50 Washing Clothes 53 A Soap Candle 58 Chalk, Marble, Eggshell 61 Electrolysis in a Glass 63 Tin and Lead 69 Aluminium, Chromium, and Nickel 74 Experiments with Copper Wire 77 Smoke Without Fire 803 Let's Look into the Cupboard 87Experiments with Protein 88 Experiments with Carbohydrates 91 Sugar from Sawdust 98 A Cup of Tea 104 Let's Make Use of Bones! 108 Why Berries Release Juice 113 Summertime Experiments 118 How Much Vitamin C Does an Apple Contain? 121 Almonds—Bitter and Sweet 1274 Business with Pleasure 131 Oil Paints 131 Pigments 135 Watercolours 142 How to Fight Corrosion 148 How to Paint Without Paints 151 Electroplating 156 Galvanoplastics 161 Noble Patina 165 Glass and Enamel 168 Home-Made Plasticine and Sealing Wax 174 Let Us Silver a Mirror! 1785 Sleight of Hand 185 Spoon-Rectifier 185 Light a Lamp with a Match! 189 The Long Service Life of a Battery 195 Sources of Current from Stuff at Hand 198 All Crystals, Big and Small 203 Crystal Patterns 209 A Plate Bearing Riches 212 How to Make the Invisible Visible 214 Simple Tricks 218 A Chemical Clock 223 A Rainbow Without the Sun 226 Luminous Solutions 228 The Luminescence of Solid Bodies 221 A Fantastic Bouquet of Flowers 2326 With Your Own Eyes 235 Experiments with Enzymes: Oxidases and Peroxidases 236 Experiments with Enzymes: Dehydrogenases 243 Experiments with Enzymes: Amylases 247 And Not Only Amylase 251 Chromatography at Home 253 The Ray of Light Fell on the Crystal 258 An Unusual Photograph 262 Caution!
