Usually, it is shown how hydrogen ignites in air on Pd or PT on carbon. I never thought about the logical consequence that activated carbon is able to absorb the hydrogen and then keeping it until and oxidant is added. Nice video! :)
This catalyst has always fascinated me, mostly because the geometry of the reaction surfaces is what makes it so effective as opposed necessarily to it's composition
@@SodiumInteresting I'm trying to think of something that would be legal at home, most of my experience with it involves pharmaceutical opioids. There's got to be something benign you can hydrogenate.
@@chemistryofquestionablequa6252 hmm, I'd still be interested to read about those but yeah prob not necessarily a good idea to do or make video on them
As a fellow chemist I love your videos! You always do reactions I'm interested in but too afraid to try haha. Could you show how hydrogen-saturated Pd/C easily lights organic solvents on fire? I think that would be neat. Thanks!
Can you make a video about metal-organic compounds , for example CH3Li? Or about powerful oxidizers like Mn2O7, melted KClO3, >35% H2O2; Apart from that, can you make a video with reactions between sodium, potassium etc with alcohols, reaction of Br2 and H2, ammonia solution of CuCl( it probably absorbs CO), Aqua Regia, OsO4, Cd compounds? By the way, congratulations ! I hope you will be one of the most famous chemists on YT! YOU ARE DOING VERY GREAT WORK! KEEP IT UP! ( sorry for my English)
I got something for ya. Best to do this on the mg scale in an open reactor, it is highly energetic. a 50/50 mixture of palladium acetate and palladium nitrate heated until reaction (very low temp) I used to supply guys that needed palladium catalysts the world over. Its like a nanoporous cheetoh. Its relatively structurally sound, as much as you can hope for. Used to sell it for 100$/gram.
Great! Learned alot from your videos. But I would give you an idea: what about making a video about hydrogen storage alloys? I always heard about this alloys that they can absorb a lot of hydrogen in normal temperature .LaNi5, TiFe, Mg2Ni are the most common ones. But I never seen a video about absorbing hydrogen and these alloys. now I'm doubting these alloys are fake. Hope you can see this comment. Keep up the nice work!
Nice memories of throwing some Pd/C & nitro compound in a flask under an H2 balloon, sodding off to have a cup of tea (or several), then coming back with the good ol' amine awaiting me.
@Jm Cresencio you can divide the anode and cathode so that both gases are separated, on the cathode hydrogen bubbles are produced, and on the anode oxygen is produced
Another idea for a video would be Raney nickel. The preparation of the NiAl alloy, of the catalyst, its pyrophoric nature etc. I've read that the catalyst even can be prepared through a thermite reaction?
If there was a more progressive reduction rate I think that might be necessary, approximately a minute and 20 seconds. I think people usually don't see that take place. It's usually one hour,
realy your chanel is the best on the net i am very intrested by chimistrie so i tryed to make carbone auto oxidoréduction to prepare carbohydrate from c and WATER WOULD YOU SHOW ME A CARBONE SOLVANT (NOT cobate ,nikel,iron paladum,titane or platine ) I need organic solvant , YOUR BROTHER FROM ALGERIA
Yes. This is used in lead-acid batteries to recombine water lost to electrolysis during the charging of the cells. There is a small Pt loaded catalyst in the top of the vent that does this.
loved the video !! i always wanted to work with liquid chlorine but you cant buy liquid nitrogen where i live.... and buying solid CO2 is expensive... ps i would love to see a chlorination maybe of a aromatic alcohol mfg hazelChem
Convenience of a professional lab. Also NaH could be used, forming NaOH and this can be safely neutralized to salt - which is non-toxic compared to lithium or aluminium.
