Garage find
Found in the garage, been there for over 60 years. My grandfather was a chemist and research pharmacist. Potassium Cyanide stands out, any other fun chemicals I shouldn’t put in my tea? Chemical names are in Dutch

My dad bought this new house with tons of stuff left. The owners were chemists and that’s the most I know. What’s good with the magnesium and that formula?? Also they had a ~1 gallon container labeled battery acid.
3 gas masks in ww2 era bags and a door that deadbolts from the inside with a peep hole.
BACKGROUND ON OG HOUSE BUYERS
A married couple now in their 70/80s, husband died. House was very hoarded when we left, but they worked with us to pick out the things they wanted. It still has a lot of stuff from the 60s (including calendars, film movie reels, photos, etc.) Otherwise the house is well kept other than random garbage. Additionally they took care of a beautiful garden and had tons of canned goods and lots of crafts. My dad has known the wife since 2018 and has helped her here and there with household tasks.
My general chemistry teacher was really taken aback when I raised my hand to ask him for a definition of energy. He genuinely didn't know what to say, at the end of class he came to try to clarify what I was asking for, if I meant a specific type of energy, and he ended the conversation saying that he prefers not to venture into the topic and that I should ask a physics teacher. Which I don't have. I don't know if it was a silly question to ask, it's just been ages since I did any science and I like to try to understand everything and it felt like a gap in my knowledge.
So anyways, how do you define energy? What do all the forms of energy have in common?
idk if its rlly biogem but i need it for biology for DNase I
I tried googling but it didnt quite makensense to me. Chemistry is not really my strongest subject sadly, I do find it rlly cool though.
The image shows some O thingies and it circles multilple things and I just totally shut down. I dont see any Hydrogen in the circles so I dont see how thats suposed to help me.
Hi fellow chemists. Im currently batteling to dry a morpholine sample. I have followed the literature and added NaOH to no avail. I have the water layer seperating from the organic phase once I add the NaOH however apon distilling the organic layer it still contains water. I have tried NaOH as well as MgSO4, nothing is removing the water. How can I get this sample dried and completely anhydrous?
Hey y'all! I hope this is okay to post in this subreddit. I'm working on a story where one of the main characters is a Second Year Chemistry Major at a Community College, but the problem is that I know so little about Chemistry to write anything chemistry related and make it sound convincing. If anyone would be down, could y'all bombard me with a bunch of random ass chemistry questions and answers for me to use in my story? If not, then maybe showing me outlets to learn a bit more about chemistry or finding other ways to look for resources would be great! I thank y'all in advance!
