If you want to kill yourself, don't chill it. The reason why you must chill the acetone peroxide during the synthesis of it is because cooling it allows it to form the trimmer of acetone peroxide. Which is more stable than the dimer, which is formed if it is not cool enough.

And I was joking about the first part. Don't EVER not chill the acetone peroxide when you make it. Ever. If the dimer is formed by this process, it could explode when you are filtering it, or even when you move the solution a little. It's really hard for me to stress all the dangers of making acetone peroxide.

How do you extract acetone peroxide?

Mix acetone (nail polish remover), hydrogen peroxide, and a strong acid (such as toilet bowl rust remover, which contains hydrochloric acid). filter, refrigerate and let dry. But this experiment is extremely dangerous. If you do use the reagents from the sources mentioned by the previous answerer, they are likely to contain impurities that can alter the final explosive product. Even a tidbit of particles or a tiny drop of a reactive addictive can cause the resulting product to explode at any given time. If you are to make acetone peroxide, I recommend using higher purity chemicals for more safety. You must chill it so you can form the trimmer, which is much more stable and safer than the dimer which is made if you do not cool it. View the link below for all the information of how to stay alive when you create, handle, and test the stuff.


Is acetone used in the process of making ammonium nitrate?

No, it is not used, the industrial preparation of Ammonium Nitrate depends on simple neutralization reaction between ammonia (Base) and Nitric (Acid) giving Ammonium Nitrate. Even the process of prilling or granulation doesn't include addition of Acetone. I believe the Ammonium Nitrate Acetone mixture is hazard as it is a combination of strong oxidizer and highly inflammable substance. Regards;

What color is amonium nirate?

Considering you are probably making smoke bombs, I must say that this is not all you can do with the wonderful compound of ammonium nitrate. You may want to look deeper into the internet beyond searching easy bombs on google. Look up acetone peroxide but be sure to read many articles on it. Also, AN (ammonium nitrate) is white


Does hydrogen peroxide come in powder form in a bottle?

No. Even pure hydrogen peroxide is a liquid. Pure H2O2 is not commercially available as it is extremely reactive, making it too dangerous for the general public.
