chemicals commonly available list by chemical Man

 

Many chemicals are commonly available in pure form. Others are available as reagents - inexpensive, convenient sources of chemicals with a bit of processing. This is convenient for both amateur and professional chemistry work. Common reagents include:

    Metal oxides and carbonates (widely used in pottery)
    Organic acids (used for home brewing)
    Solvents and acids (used in cleaning materials and other hardware applications)
    Photographic chemicals, such as silver nitrate
    Single-chemical fertilizers, such as potassium nitrate (used in agricultural supply)
    Chlorinating agents, such as calcium hypochlorite (used in swimming pool and water purification)
    Mordants, such as potassium dichromate (used in arts and crafts)

Details on the constituent chemicals of various household products can be found on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Household Products Index.
