In this video I show you how to synthesize laxatives using common household chemicals. You will need 1/2 of a cup of Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4), 1/8 of a cup of Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), You will also need 1 and a 1/2 of a cup of distilled water (dH2O). Three clean jars, coffee filters, tape and a measuring cup (1/4 of a cup). The precise reaction is scaled up from what I have shown in the video. Here is the information. The reaction calls for 1 mole of MgSO4 (120.3676 grams) and 1 mole of NaOH (40 grams) to create 1 mole of NaSO4 and 1 mole of MgOH. Basically 3 units of MgSO4 to 1 unit of NaOH. In this video, I've scaled up the MgSO4 to ensure no NaOH would be left in the reaction for your safety. If you were to weigh out 1 gram of Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4) and 1 gram of Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), there would be just over three times the amount of molecules in the Sodium Hydroxide than the Magnesium Sulfate. This is because each element has it's own mass. When combined with other elements to form a molecule, the mass of that molecule is different than any other except those with the exact same number and types of atoms. So chemists, physicists and pharmacologists use the mole as a unit of measure to understand how many molecules are in a mass of a pure substance. So basically a mole is 6.022 x 10^23 atoms, molecules, or other collections of particles. The mass of one mole of a material is the gram formula mass of that substance.
