Never seen DNP do this

[trismegistus]

So I ordered raws from a source on here and they arrived today. First thing I do is always put some on foil and put a lighter to it. I've seen it immediately ignite which is a good sign. I've seen it melt and then ignite because it was wet a lot.

This dnp is in shards so I assume it is dnp crystal, no experience with it. I put a lighter to it and it melts into a large amount of liquid, and then ignites very briefly and goes put, but then it "cracks back" and rapidly recrystallizes like methamphetamine would.

I tried to upload the video but it's not allowing me to.

Also the raws were only 38 grams and not 40 lol. Anyone have experience with this? The last stuff I had that melted I just threw it in the oven and evaporated moisture off of it and it lit right up afterwords, guess I'll try that but it recrystallizing like meth would is a bit concerning lol. Guess that's another great fat burner lmao

It does stain my skin yellow handling it and feels rather moist. I'll throw a bit in the oven to evaporate some moisture and report back. The recrystallization looks cool as fuck happening but getting the vibe I got as much water as I did dnp if it's just wet

Why?
And why react with an acid?
Nitro compound doesn’t form a salt. You can neutralise remaining naoh with acetic acid. No need for harsh acids.

DNP is soluble in alkaline solution, so to isolate it as a solid, you need to acidify to precipitate the phenol. With a weak acid like acetic acid, you’ll get incomplete precipitation

would recommend to use hcl instead of sulfuric acid and you probably dont have to reflux if you keep it below 100 degrees, around 80-90

I think that HCL is good for laboratories since it makes very strong and toxic fumes, compared to sulfuric acid. Otherwise, I think that both are working as good, I'm unsure.

Lol sulphuric acid is way more stronger than hcl in concentrated form. Hcl can not eat through organic tissue. Drop some conc sulphuric acid on paper and watch turn dark fast.

No. It is soluble in alkaline solution because it gets deprotanted by an strong base like naoh. Bring ph down below its pka and it will be in it’s protonated form so you can separate it. You will just need more weak acid. For some one with no experience hcl is very dangerous as it fumes strongly at high concentrations

That's why advising HCL against sulfuric acid wasn't your best move here haha. Sulfuric acid isn't sold over 10-15% concentration anyway
