Mixing Chemicals, and You

So, you think you're really ready to mix chemicals, and not cause a medbay wide fire? Lets get started with the basics then.

Chemicals
Nearly everything on the station has some sort of chemical. Some are able to be extracted, and others, not so much. You can create a variety of things with the chemicals located in the Chem Dispenser located in your Chem Lab in the Medbay. These could range from anything helpful, such as Tricordrazine, or something entirely deadly, like Polytrinic Acid. The Chemicals readily available to you in the Chem Dispenser are as follows :

Water
! scope="row"|
 * A ubiquitous chemical substance that is composed of hydrogen and oxygen.
 * Also known as Dihydrogen Monoxide. Put out toxin fires with this. Do not use on grease fires.

Oxygen
! scope="row"|
 * A colorless, odorless gas.
 * Not having this, in gas form, will result in suffocation, and eventually organ failure.

Hydrogen
! scope="row"|
 * A colorless, odorless, nonmetallic, tasteless, highly combustible diatomic gas.

Potassium
! scope="row"|
 * A soft, low-melting solid that can easily be cut with a knife. Reacts violently with water.
 * Mixing this with water will most undoubtedly cause your workplace to explode.

Mercury
! scope="row"|
 * A highly toxic liquid metal often used in the production of thermometers.
 * Again, HIGHLY TOXIC. Does not produce a "Fun Time" upon injection, but instead, Death.

Carbon
! scope="row"|
 * A highly stable element found in organics, one of the essential building blocks for life.

Chlorine
! scope="row"|
 * A noxious gas used in the sterilization of a variety of things.
 * Inhaling it is a bad idea.

Fluorine
! scope="row"|
 * A highly reactive chemical element.
 * Also the most electronegative element.

Phosphorus
! scope="row"|
 * A highly reactive element, glows on contact with oxygen.
 * Used in the production of flares, and other thermal things.

Lithium
! scope="row"|
 * A soft, silver metallic element.
 * Lithium is used to treat mania in bipolar disorder.

Sulphur
! scope="row"|
 * A non-metallic crystalline element.
 * Smells REALLY horrible.

Sulphuric Acid
! scope="row"|
 * A strong mineral acid with the molecular formula H2SO4.
 * Avoid contact on skin. Avoid ingestion. Avoid using it as a lubricant for any reason. It will melt everything you love.

Radium
! scope="row"|
 * Radium is an alkaline earth metal. It is extremely radioactive.
 * Will issue radiation damage to the person it is splashed on, and raise their radiation level. Used as a low level mutagenic.

Iron
! scope="row"|
 * A metallic element, reacts with oxygen.
 * Cures certain diseases, and a pill bottle full of Iron tablets may be a good idea if you notice everything floating towards you. It is also used in the creation of a few tasty alcoholic beverages.

Aluminum
! scope="row"|
 * A silvery white and ductile member of the boron group of chemical elements.

Silicon
! scope="row"|
 * A tetravalent metalloid, silicon is less reactive than its chemical analog carbon.
 * Used in the construction of most of those walking tin cans aboard the station, but not actually incorporated in the game for that use. Very useful for making Protection Spray.

Plasma
! scope="row"|
 * Liquified Plasma.
 * Ungodly dangerous to inject, and only can be obtained from Mining. Ask Science for some if you run out.

Sugar
! scope="row"|
 * The organic compound commonly known as table sugar and sometimes called saccharose. This white, odorless, crystalline powder has a pleasing, sweet taste.
 * Found, and used in a variety of sweets, drinks, and medicines.

Ethanol
! scope="row"|
 * A well-known alcohol with a variety of applications.
 * Drinking this will cause you to slur more than a Klu Klux Klan member.

Uranium
! scope="row"|
 * A black, incredibly dense, slightly radioactive, actinide. Often used in its depleted state in military ballistics and heavy armor.
 * Only available from the Mining Asteroid. It is radioactive, and should not be handled without protection gear. Used in the development of EMPs.

Nitrogen
! scope="row"|
 * A colorless, odorless, tasteless gas.

Gold
! scope="row"|
 * A dark yellow, dense, valuable conductive metal. Often used in electronics.
 * Ask science for it if you truly need it. Only available from the Mining Asteroid. Not that science would spare it for a plebian chemist.

Silver
! scope="row"|
 * A white, valuable conductive metal. Often used in harmonic wiring.
 * Ask science for it if you truly need it. Only available from the Mining Asteroid. Not that science would spare it for a plebian chemist.

Phazon

 * A blue sentient ore that is extremely radioactive, and spreads if not properly contained.
 * Used in a variety of fields, ranging from Genetics [As a mutagen], to Security [As a durable material for armor]. Ask science for it if you truly need it. Only available from the Mining Asteroid. Not that science would spare it for a plebian chemist.

Recipes
These are the various compounds you can create to w̶r̶e̶a̶k̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶o̶c̶ fill requests, and/or study thoroughly.

Medicines
The vast majority of chemicals you will be called on to make. Typically, a small amount of each should be kept on hand. Assuming the medical team is not incompetent, they should be able to keep everyone alive and quite healthy with your assistance.

'''Helpful medicines are usually identified by their light pink color. '''

The medicines are as follows :

Non-Medicinal Formulas
These are either pure reactions that typically leave nothing remaining or other chemicals that have non-medicinal uses. Many of these are useful in the manufacture of grenades, but many can be quite dangerous.

Non-medicinal compounds are a variety of colors, ranging all the way from blue, to green, to even orange.

Non-Medicinal Compounds are as follows :
 * Ammonia
 * Chloral Hydrate
 * Cryptobiolin
 * Diethylamine
 * Diluted Milk
 * Explosion
 * Flash Powder
 * Foaming Agent
 * Foam Surfactant
 * Glycerol
 * Impedrezene
 * Lexorin
 * Lipozine
 * Metal Foam
 * Napalm
 * Nitroglycerin
 * Plant-B-Gone
 * Polytrinic Acid
 * Smoke
 * Sodium Chloride
 * Soporofic (Sleep Toxin)
 * Space Cleaner
 * Space Drugs
 * Space Lube
 * Synthmeat
 * Thermite
 * Unstable Mutagen
 * Zombie Powder

Beyond Your Workplace
There are a plentiful amount of other sorts of reagents outside of the ones available to you. So experiment with a variety of things!
