Going to do this for my element collection. Also subbed. Edit: For the boiling chips, you can use small chips of a clay pot. They work very well, but, they can contaminate you solution, but nitrogen is a gas, so it isn't a problem.
Good point. I meant there is no carbon in either of the reactants. Nothing here is strong enough to oxidize the boiling chips, so they aren't going anywhere.
I wonder how you're going to do your fluorine video (once you get past oxygen) since making elemental fluorine is extremely difficult and extremely dangerous! If anyone has heard of the "fluorine martyrs" you'd know why elemental fluorine gas is some pretty nasty stuff!
You could react away all the oxygen and show that the remaining volume is about 78% of what you started with. That's a somewhat common demo in schools - they take a known volume of air and pass it over heated copper to capture all the oxygen. That experiment is also the basis for my procedure in my video on helium, the second in this series.
@@mrhomescientist could you possibly link a video of the process please. I've not been able to prove the air we breath is made of 78%nitrogen 21%oxygen 1%other. Simular problems with water being made of two gasses.
@@bloodsthicker5651 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--28uuBcBK_E.html is the video I modeled mine after. Or you can look up my helium video on my channel.
@@bloodsthicker5651 As for your question on water, that's an even easier experiment: just pass a voltage through water with a dash of salt added. A 9V battery should work. Bubbles come off each wire, and if you collect those gases you can easily test them and find that one is H2 and the other is O2.
