- @X08In general@X05, @X08it is possible to make many chemicals from just a few basic
- ones@X05. @X08 A list of useful chemical reactions is presented@X05. @X08It assumes knowledge
- of general chemistry@X05;@X08 any individual who does not understand the following
- reactions would merely have to read the first five chapters of a high school
- chemistry book@X05.

- The Al will be a very fine silvery powder at the bottom of the container
- which must be filtered and dried@X05. @X08 This same method works with nitric and
- sulfuric acids@X05,@X08 but these acids are too valuable in the production of high
- explosives to use for such a purpose, unless they are available in great excess@X05.@X08
