In this video I turn lemons into chloroform and acetone while making some of the worst mistakes in my chemistry career.

Some corrections over the video noticed by my viewers: To make the 20% sodium hydroxide solution I would need less of the hydroxide, so the concentration is incorrect. The reaction of sulfuric acid with potassium permanganate can produce manganese heptoxide which is very dangerous, and instead of sulfuric acid other acids should be used.

Also, excuse me for my poor speaking, English is not my native language so I have some trouble with pronunciation, in case you don't understand something there are always subtitles made by me.
