What are the chemicals that arent included, and how would i buy them?

I have contacted Thames & Kosmos about this recently and here is there recent. "Additional Chemicals Needed for CHEM C3000 (due to legal restrictions or limited shelf life)* Approximately 10 ml of silver nitrate solution, (1% Solution)* Approximately 100 ml of sodium hydroxide, 1mol/L (4% Solution)* Approximately 100 ml of hydrochloric acid, 2mol/L (7% Solution)* Approximately 50 ml of ammonia solution 2mol/L (3.4% Solution)Silver Nitrate Solution, Hydrochloric Acid and Sodium Hydroxide can all be obtained through POW! Science!: http://www.powsciencetoys.com/Chem_C3000_Supplemental_Chemicals_p/c3ks.htm70% Ethyl Alcohol ( A form of Denatured Alcohol), and Hydrogen Peroxide are also required for certain experiments but cannot be included in the kit due to certain restrictions. You should be able to find these two items in the first aid aisle of most pharmacies. Ammonia should be obtainable from most supermarkets in the cleaning aisle. Generally speaking, household cleaning ammonia will typically range in concentration from 5% to 10%. The product labeling should indicate the concentration.The proper dilution of ammonia solution is approximately 3.4%, and this can be attained by adding common household ammonia to the appropriate amount of water (**see below). The amount of water which you will need depends of the volume required for a given experiment and the percentage of the solution you are starting with. **Important! When diluting chemicals, always add the chemical to the water, not the other way around. In general, if you pour water on top of certain chemicals, a reaction can occur quickly causing the solution to splash back up at you. However, if you carefully add the chemical to the water, you can avoid this.You may find it easier to create a larger volume of properly diluted solution and store it for use as needed.As an example, let's assume that you are starting with a household ammonia which is at an 8% solution. If you wanted to make a 4% solution from that, you would combine equal parts water and ammonia. By adding 25ml of ammonia (@ 8% by volume) to 25ml of water you would thus create a 4% solution. Therefore, to reach a 3.4% solution, you would need to dilute the ammonia by a little more than half.Once again, let's assume that you are starting with an 8% ammonia solution. If 50 ml of ammonia solution is required, you would need to add 21ml of ammonia to 28ml of water. (3.4%/8% = .425 -> .425 x 50ml = 21.25ml, or approx. 21ml)."

Where can I find the list of chemicals, etc included in each CHEm set?

Listed as included in the manual: magnesium strip, sodium bisulfate, calcium hydroxide, potassium hexacyanoferrate II, sodium carbonate, potassium permanganate, sulfur, copper(II) sulfate, ammonium iron sulfate, potassium iodide, potassium bromide, sodium thiosulfate. A few common items are not listed. But, the manual also lists things you need to get elsewhere:Silver nitrate 1% 10ml, sodium hydroxide 4% 100ml, HCl 7% 100 ml, hydrogen peroxide 3% 100 ml, ammonia soln 3.4% 50 ml,along with some other common household items, the hardest to obtain perhaps being ammonium carbonate "baking ammonia" or Salt of Hartshorn or Hirschhornsalz. Good luck. I got the kit as an eventual gift, so I have not opened or used it. Various common household containers and bottles are also recommended. It is too big to deliver to an Amazon locker.

what are the best expirement and what chemicals do they need?

The best and most exciting experiments are different for each person. You will find very interesting and rewarding experiments for everyone.

Are the test tubes, beakers, funnel, etc. made of glass or plastic?

test tubes and beakers are made of glass and funnel is plastic
