What are the Chemical Names of Common Substances?

COMMON NAME...............CHEMICAL NAME

acetone...............................dimethyl ketone ; 2-propanone

acid potassium sulfate....... potassium bisulfate

acid of sugar ....................oxalic acid

ackey ..............................nitric acid

alcali volatil ......................ammonium hydroxide

alcohol, grain.................... ethyl alcohol

alcohol sulfuris ................carbon disulfide

alcohol, wood .................methyl alcohol

alum ..............................aluminum potassium sulfate

alumina .........................aluminum oxide

antichlor .........................sodium thiosulfate

antifreeze........................ ethylene glycol

antimony black................ antimony trisulfide

antimony bloom ..............antimony trioxide

antimony glance .............antimony trisulfide

antimony red (vermillion)... antimony oxysulfide

aqua ammonia ...............aqueous solution of ammonium hydroxide

aqua fortis .....................nitric acid

aqua regia .....................nitrohydrochloric acid

aromatic spirit of ammonia........ ammonia in alcohol

arsenic glass ..................arsenic trioxide

azurite ............................mineral form of basic copper carbonate

acid of sugar = oxalic acid

alum = hydrated aluminium potassium sulfate

alumina = aluminium(lll)oxide

antichlor = sodium bisulfite

antimony black = antimony sulfide

antimony bloom = antimony trioxide

aqua fortis = nitric acid solution

aqua regia = nitro-hydrochloric acid

Aqua regia ("royal water") is a mixture of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid (HCl and HNO3).

Grain alcohol is ethanol, C2H5OH. Made by fermenting grain.

Wood alcohol is methanol, CH3OH. Made by fermenting wood chips.

Alumina is the ore you get aluminium from: aluminium oxide, Al2O3.

Antifreeze can be several things, but is often ethylene glycol, aka 1,2 ethane diol. (OH)(CH2)(CH2)(OH).

Aqua ammonia I'm not positive about, but I bet it's an aqueous solution of ammonia, NH3.

For the rest, I recommend you look them up at Wikipedia.org. Cheers.
