Just a little update on things I'm working on. This isn't a tutorial video at all, but I plan on doing one specifically on this project, as it is cheap and there are a lot of side reactions you can perform with the waste byproducts. This video is just more to prove I am still alive and to once again promise making better quality videos in the future. 2/9/2018 Update: The substance I thought to contain phosphates in Pepto Bismol are just part of the chemical component of the dyes Red 22 and Red 28. D&C RED 22 (EOSINE Y.S., PURIFIED) Chemical Name: Disodium salt of 2,4,5,7-tetrabromo fluorescein Chemical Formula: C20H6O5Na2Br4 D&C RED 28 (PHLOXINE B, PURIFIED) Chemical Name: Disodium salt of 2,4,5,7-tetrabromo 4,5,6,7 tetrachloro fluorescein Chemical Formula: C20H2O5Cl4Br4
