So a question that popped up: So seaborgium alone is not stable. Suppose we would make a lot of seaborgium and clump it together. Is there a possibility that it will become stable if we simply make a 'mountain of seaborgium' or will it be just as unstable as a single element. (H20 alone behaves completely different than a 'mount of H2O' aka water).
A single element is as unstable in this case as a lot of the substance. So 1 atom of seaborgium behaves the same way(or is as unstable) as 20 million atoms of Seaborgium. What do you mean exactly when you say H2O behaves differently in 1 molecule then when you have a ton of it? Bare in mind that we are talking about Seaborgium the element and H2O the molecule.
That could be a thing, the problem is the higher percentage of alcohol the lower the freezing point of the mixture… and I do not have a freezer that freezes to -59 degrees Celsius or -75 degrees Fahrenheit… ;)
Hey friend! Great video I know fuck all, but maybe it'll help your channel gain more traction: I think the thumbnail could use some refinement. There's a lot of improvement, but the subject is too "small". For instance, I think you could benefit from having the image to the left be the main focus and have some supporting aspects around it. The stylized blue border you used makes it hard to quickly visually grasp, which is important for.grabbing a viewers attention and... Clicking! Anyways, I like what your building here. Take that with a pinch of salt. And good luck with your channel man!
Thanks for the feedback, I will definitely keep this in mind. So basically what you mean is instead of separating the the images like I do now. I should take 1 picture and move from there to grab the focus? I will experiment with that in future video's! Feedback is always welcome since it will make the channel better :).
Eventualy the sand would have been hot enough but we were in a hurry so this turned out to be much faster. By then the sand was already quite hot and we then had to let it cool down before we could remove some of it.
So from what I understand the reaction between H2 + O2 is one of the most violent reactions. The reason is that it result in like a branching chain-reacting that keeps repeating itself.
"I think easily accessible cinnamon who does not dissolve in water resembles spice pretty good, so let me demonstrate with sugar instead" ;-) Even with little water, they could use some kind of reflux if the spice is water soluble.
I thought about doing a similar experiment with cinnamon but very unfortunately very quickly found out that it would then be a very different experiment.
Hot water would provide a better if not near 100% yield. Water heating solar panels would cheaply provide the heat. The water shouldn't be too much of a problem since it could be easily condensed and recovered for reuse, and the cost of spice is more expensive. The heat from the sun to recrystallize would be cheap as well. Of course this all depends on the solubility of the spice (after looking online, it looks like water is hard to separate from spice). Different solvents could be cheaper/better.
Neat! Haven’t seen dune 2 yet, but being that water is so rare on Arakkis that spitting on someone is a gesture of politeness for giving them your moisture, I don’t think separating with water would be a good way would it? My first thought is to use spinning chambers of various hole sizes to filter out the very fine dust spice from the heavy grains of sand. From there you can sift in a vibrating bed to separate light particles from heavy particles. There’s steps from there for further refinement but truthfully it doesn’t seem that finer refinement from that is necessary for how they use it
i think the real beauty of thorium if we design a reactor around its breeding and burning the resultant u233, is that its on the moon, in asteroids, on mars , and probably everywhere in the universe! thorium will take us to the stars and there will be fuel when we get there as well as along the way!
Awesome perspective I did not even think about it but the modular way in which they are currently thinking would be very suitable to indeed send in space!!
I know that you can't buy tennessine, and if I recall, it has a half life of a few tens of milliseconds anyway, so do they just send you a radioactive warning sign in acrylic if you order it?
Exactly. I know slightly disappointing but yes. I knew this before I got the subscription though and I am ok with it. There are about 20 elements that will show up with just the warning sign in my mailbox because of that reason. But for my purpose I am ok with that, I will discuss them in video's.
am I being nitpicky or stupid or was there a mistake in explaining what half life is? because as I understand it, in 14 billion years, HALF of that thorium will be gone, not all of it. am I living a lie here?
Sharp and no that is not being nitpicky that is correctly correcting mistakes. Yes you are absolutely right. Thanks for pointing this out. Halftime is of course the time it takes for Half of the element to decay. SO to correct my mistake in 14.5 billion years about half of the Thorium in the cube will be left. Thanks for pointing this out!!
The short answer is a marble. But this is a short taken from my longer video in which I indeed also tell the answer. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rJm6oDWX8EI.html
Yes it was mined before. So in this case it was not literally that an Thorium was discovered what was discovered was that it was an element that we did not know the properties off. To be precise Berzelius received a mineral from Morton Esmark who went to his father and he could not identify what his son had found. He send Morton to Berzelius who then found out that that this was a material that was not recorded till this point.
No most of them have unstable forms but not of them have stable forms. In fact after the element of Lead in the periodic table(Element 82) all elements are unstable and will decay over a period of time. That period can sometimes be billions of years but that does not change the fact that the elements are unstable.
So when a battery is empty slowly a gas will pile up inside of the battery. This Hydrogen gas cannot go anywhere and could explode if it will remain. For this reason battery manufactures created a system that when the battery is empty and the gas will pile up the safety barrier will break. The chemicals will come out in the air and due to a reaction with the air(corrosion) crystals will form and this is the oxide we removed.
Nickel and Iron are among the most common metals in the universe. When solo systems such as ours are created that tends to be very violent. In these processes Nickel and Iron are being created. This probably raises the question why we don't see a lot of Nickel and Iron at the surface of the earth? The reason for that is that erosion on our planet made the Nickel and Iron disappear in layers under the ground. For meteorites this is not the case and this is why when they crash onto the earth they are made mostly out of Iron and Nickel.
This seems to be because of the origin of the elements. Elements decay into other elements. What this decay means i will tell in followup video's but for now you could state that whenever an element decay's into another element in this case Carbon it likely had another element as origin.
