Home chemistry laboratories have existed since the origins of chemistry as a scientific discipline. For example, while working on his principal work on gravitation and laws of motion, Sir Isac Newton also explored alchemy.

Procedures developed with this thesis in mind to produce Copper(II)Sulfate from products readily available either at a local pharmacy or through products available online.
