It looks like snow

Is Walter White making youtube videos in the afterlife :)

I am 13 of course

Check out argentium silver

Salt end vinegar, not water. Got it

Super.

Distill the tolulene and then distill the sulfuric acid first. Then you get very nice clean acid.❤

Nurdrage ❤

0:17 BRO REALLY SAID NI-

How in holy science do you "safely" dispose of this afterwards???

NSA I’m bored

Thank you for this video! It's very helpful!

It really feels like a U-tube density meter should be relatively easy to cobble together for just tens of dollars. I think a tube with a magnet glued to it and a coil with some even breadboard level electronics would be sufficient. It would probably take longer to calibrate than actually build. I don't see why it couldn't or shouldn't be made of borosilicate instead of some kind of metal either. I think it should also work for gasses.

hi Could you do kclo4 someday?

Make a video of electrolysis of Na2CO3 or Na2HCO3.

Forbidden shaved ice

Anton Paar has been selling cheap u-tube hydrometers since at least 2014. That's when i got one for battery acid testing.

does anyone know if NPK fertilizers that have ammounium phosphate and potash work for the second method? thats the only nitrate source available in the eu

Obvius , him can not to say ice , methanfetamine , crack , but says product..

Damn aliens

13:00 - "We need the ice to squeeze out the yield as we can't boil down since Calcium Chloride would start crystalizing out" 12:12 - The displacement reaction - heated and stirred, then filtered to remove any insoluble contaminants. I'm wondering why Calcium Chloride crystalizing out and then filtering it would be a problem - just as with the previous procedure. Isn't it Potassium Nitrate this procedure is aiming for - and is crystalizing out when placed on ice, then being filtered removing the Calcium Chloride solution. Sorry about the basic quest

Sir i have problem in extraction of copper metal from my waste nitrate solution, When i add iron plate to my nitrate solution iron hydroxide is precipitated instead of copper metal, why this happened and how to avoid it?

Omg.. this has been what's happening to mine . I'm also trying to make manganese electrodes... Did you have any luck with the plating?

Nurd Rage keep up these videos, one of the most credible sources of chemical techniques on KZbin and an added bonus you are a fellow Canadian!

that's interesting! may i know the reference for the procedure? the journals maybe?

Something like this at this size and cost would have been pure science fiction less than one human lifetime ago.

Did it burn you like LA beast and if not, what the hell did he do wrong when making the hot ice

"The goldsmith was pleased with no longer needing haircuts for the rest of his life." 😂

I remember getting a 40-0-0 Potassium Nitrate 20kg bag for ice melt back in like 2010 from a local farm shop, and I think I got it for like $25 instead of $70 due to mislabelling 😂

That ball of sodium formed is so damn neat! Holy moly

I keep it simple and carry bottles of dinitrogen tetroxide and hydrazine to squirt together.

I'm not a chemist, and I often get lazy/suck at calculating everything, but you've given me several ideas for how to finally determine the purity of my homemade KCl fertilizer. In short, I used temperature solubility distillation to purify low sodium table salt (30% NaCl to 70% KCl) that I got for almost free, and while I assume I got it to around 90% pure, I don't actually have any data to back that up. All I did was dissolve as much salt as possible in boiling water (so around 97c where I live) and then cooled that solution down to as close to freezing as possible (around -20c). In theory, most of what precipitated out should have been KCl, but I've had no way of actually determining that analytically and didn't really care enough to figure it out on my own. Now that your video's gone through all the details of how to accurately determine the density of a salt (both as a solution and powder, though I assume powder would be easier in my case?), I should have everything I'd need to figure out how pure my sample is just by throwing the observed density into this simple formula densityOfNaCl*(1-concentration) + densityOfKCl*(concentration) = observedDensity with concentration being what I'm after.

Years ago I used some commercial thermite products used for insitu welding of earthing grid cable and stakes, these used a small aluminium disc for the delay to drop the molten metal, if I had to guess I’d say it was maybe 1.2 or 1.5mm aluminium

@NurdRage I am wanting to purify some zinc for our periodic table. My source material is some rather nasty corroded zinc from dead zinc-chloride batteries. I have saved the manganese dioxide / electrolyte paste and carbon electrodes.i am just wondering if a lye in water solution will dissolve the zinc and zinc oxides, maybe chlorides or other corrosion products? Would the electrolysis process then leave contaminates in solution and maybe also form an anode sludge of less soluble material? I am not a chemist, just trying to work things out to keep my two son's interested in doing these experiments.

This is super useful even for the amateur. Sure you can make something, but how do you know exactly what youve made? These techniques exist because without reliable information youre flying blind. I also love the amateur oriented creativity of grinding the pycnometer joint. Sure maybe most amateur scales are less accurate anyway, but thats no reason to add error if it can be easily avoided. Besides, this way if you upgrade to a really nice scale you wont have to buy new glassware.

1:14 you got me good with that one. Congrats !

I also used to get irritated when employers would ask me to evaluate tedious things. Once I was asked to evaluate several thermal interface materials for their performance, and vocally griped about it to my boss. I later realized how utterly fascinating all of this was. It's just how it goes in science sometimes. Thanks for the great content!

Awesome work. I have two questions if you have time. 1. Could heating the 5(Ca(NO3)2)*NH4NO3*10H20 at ~150C prior to adding the NaHSO4 drive off the water, leading to a higher % HNO3? 2. The pool pH lowering chems I find locally are labeled as 93% NaHSO4. Do you have any idea what the inerts are, and if they would interfere with the reaction?

AHHAAHAH, non-physical things being dense!!!

EDTA is also a very common anticoagulant used in laboratory analysis of blood!

What a legend

Hey there! Would you teach us how to make a metal-organic gas sieve/separator catalysis?

Damn really needed that process

i need to stop watching news from UA... i was reading "Pycnometer" as "Rusnometer" 🤣

I wondered how to improve the seal on some antique storage jars and never thought to use valve grinding compound. Thanks for the tip. Beats trying to find cerium oxide lens grinding compound.

"And they are also so expensive as to be completely inaccessible to the amateur." Bro's showing a setup running the device off a Raspberry Pi. HAH!

An entire series on metrology in chemistry would be nice. Especially the "this is good enough for home amateurs" observations. I personally tend to stress WAAAY too much over precision in calculations, despite not having the means to measure at the numbers of digits I'm fussing over.

When you were talking about the cap wobbling in the bottle I was thinking, hey you could lap the cap and bottle with valve lapping compound. And then you did exactly that!
