More effects for basic chems

[Tewf]

I would avoid any new reactions between chems, could really mess up a lot of recipes. However having basic tier chems do more then be inert or precursors does sound like a good idea. The things you listed all sound like a good start. To add on. Maybe water could have a very small effect on temperature. Sodium could make you "salty" and temporarily give a tourettes mutation. Barium is supposed to have a very very minimal amount of radiation behind it, so maybe some of that could give you a few seconds of low grade radiation poisoning.
