Various experiments done in my home laboratory, which is a fun and fulfilling hobby for me. I try to come up with interesting experiments that will help raise interest in science, since schools these days aren't allowed to show the more exciting reactions in classrooms. I also try to show the full process of chemistry, not just the reaction. That way I hope to give viewers a sense of what chemistry is really like, and deal with important topics like proper disposal.
How dangerous is it handle the rocks? It seems like mining them could be scary, since they are out in the rough with many opportunities for dust formation.
Well done capturing this first experiment on video and achieving some melt. I love how every back yard melter invents a slightly different setup based on what's lying around😁. I've been using an air mattress inflater with limited success, I need a hair dryer!
Where’d you go D: I ran across this channel about a year 1/2 ago..as someone else said, I’ve come back many times to re-watch certain things. Hope you’re doing well, you’re easily one of the best on YT in regards to breaking things down into laymans terms, which for those of us with only a minor background in chemistry, makes a world of difference and helps one understand things we probably wouldn’t have caught onto otherwise. Hope you’re doing well, come back!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the comment and compliments. I've had a rough couple years, and haven't had the time or energy to keep up the channel. Things are much better now, thankfully, and it would be fun to get back into it. Your support really means a lot. Thank you.
It might be able to get up to copper temperature as-is. It could really use some improvement to hold heat in, though. Maybe wrap it with rigidized kaowool or surround it with fire bricks. Also you'd need a better crucible - mine failed after a couple melts.
I get people not wanting to hear others harp about safety but from experience, when you least expect it some accident can happen an it Will melt your flesh of your foot all the way to the bone. Better safe then sorry.
@@mrhomescientist thanks , not doubting your response but every sterilite i have got and every one on their website has tapered sides . Maybe yours does too but the camera makes it looks straight sided ? Not that i really care , i was just curious . In the process of building an h14 flow hood , so my glove box days are over . thanks for the response just the same .
From 2024. Remember: chlorine gas reacts with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide and the first products are sodium hypochlorite and sodium chloride, while temperature raises. So heating a solution of sodium hypochlorite allows the inverse reaction: NaCl + NaClO -> NaOH + Cl2 (1). Even if you have a pure NaClO solution the following equilibrium exists: NaClO + H2O <-> NaOH + HClO (2) and very unstable acid 2HClO <-> 2HCl + O2 (3) and HCl + NaOH <-> NaCl + H2O (4). So every conditions for (1) are present. Perhaps it's more effective dropping a concentrated sodium hydroxide solution.
Please help me 🙏 I'm confused in the distillation method, Exactly when taking pure substances I deliberately used a sample of medicine that had 5 ingredients in it, after I finished extracting it, then I filtered it and got the residue & filtrate. But I'm confused about how to separate the purity of these substances using the Distillation method, even though I have recorded the boiling points of the 5 substances, here are the boiling points: Substance A > Boiling point: 400 °C Substance B > Boiling point: 260°C Substance C > Boiling Point: 379 °C Substance D > Boiling point: 520 °C Substance E > Boiling point: 232 °C For example, if I want to get the purity of substance B, how do I do it ?? 🤔🤔🤔 Who knows, someone might be able to tell, 🙏
It is not the best to use ammonium nitrate because there is a bit of ammonia in the end product. I was using ammonium nitrate and after a day or two there would be a white substance at the bottom and I am assuming this to be ammonium nitrate I think. I switched to potassium nitrate because of this.
perhaps you can use swimming pool chlorinator, it comes as a powder. Not sure if it’s pure NaClO3. Also bleach comes with a small amount of sodium hydroxide, presumably to offset the chlorine in the water turning into hydrochloric acid. Probably irrelevant with all that sodium chloride present.
Melting aluminum bare feet. This guy has no idea what he is doing. I worked in a bladesmith workshop, and as far as I now, one can never be too cautious around high temperature metals.
If the lithium caught fire in your glove box you could say goodbye to your glovebox. The temperature of a burning lithium battery is said to be at 500 degrees Celsius. It burns intensely and very quickly, and will have no trouble burning through the plastic box. With little experience, I opened up a lithium battery in open air. That was my first mistake. I knew nothing about what might happen if the battery was shorted, but that's what set the battery on fire while I held it in my bare hands. In the split second it took for me to react and drop it onto my workbench, it burned the part of my thumb that was in contact with the coated film. The iron disulfide electrolyte coating can spark when in contact with metal and it will catch fire. I was not using tools, so I imagine the spark was set off when the electrolyte came into contact with the metal (copper or aluminum?) foil inside the battery. Chalk this up to experience. I now know how dangerous these batteries can be if improperly handled. My thumb was fine and the incident left no visible damage by the following day, though it hurt like hell for the first few hours after it happened. What surprised me was the speed at which this happened! So, be safe. Be very careful when working with these types of batteries. This is not to say, I wouldn't do it again, but I will take better precautions the next time 'round.
Lain x kalo ada waktu, buat anda para ilmuan yg memahami rumus kristalisasi dan pernah membuat sabu sabu. Silahkan ciptakan sabu cair dengan bahan campuran seluruh jenis parasetamol trus dibekukan dan diproduksi kan. Apa yg akan terjadi siapa tahu produk tersebut jauh lebih berkualitas dosis nya ketimbang produk yg beredar saat ini. Dalam tanda ( mungkin saja satu asap dosis nya bisa loncat2 melebihi dosis ekstasi alias eforia.) Atau jangan2 langsung mati.😁🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😇👍
