Acid Vs Gold | FlinnScientific

[@alexanderliang2437]

90% joke 10% gold dissolving...

[@andreasnulein782]

90% bad joke.

[@Wolfboy183]

90% talking head disappointment, 10% actual content

[@Beeontree]

Yeah I’m all for jokes but I actually came to learn about the acid...

[@Rescel1]

Too much bad jokes for today :)

[@abocrafter643]

I can't like your comment because it has 69 likes already :(

[@hartsockthomson3334]

You disolved too much buzzfeed in your video...

[@mistertheguy3073]

Stop makin cringy references please

[@Masquerola]

When the chem company is making bad jokes just like my chem teacher

[@_raj.m7934]

😂👍👍👍

[@25411959]

Tip: don`t overdo the humor. It just comes off as obnoxious.

[@Rascal77s]

Please, less crap comedy, more science.

[@fishhead1227]

Must not be a dad than, jokes were nerdy and funny.

[@cre9406]

the timezones where he actual dissolves gold 4:35 1:52 2:18 3:29

[@ArkZzZ]

Thank you my homie.

[@admiralpercy]

I kinda like your presentation, but do you assume that most of your viewers aren't watching other science channels, and therfore don't know what aqua regia?

[@admiralpercy]

is

[@targyo]

i dont

[@kaischrank]

Yep

[@shawnie2027]

I think your humor is refreshing !!! Keep it up oh and I learn some stuff too 🤣thx! Wow just looked over your comment here and WHOA 😳 there sure are a lot of people with nothing better to do then rip on people that are actually doing something interesting with their lives huh! Oh well you just keep doing what your doing! Hater’s gotta hate right?!💩😂🤣

[@Fishpig79]

You talk too much!

[@goosemack3587]

"How little you know" great start to a video!!!

[@summerstorm8530]

Acid common science just don't acid mine

[@daveedwards3212]

Wow! this feels like 3 hours worth of non-funnyness

[@ThePeterDislikeShow]

When you get to know chemistry, gold isn't all that stable anymore. Try iridium instead :)

[@jonnyjackson6050]

Could you dumb it down a shade more? The "comedy" isn't quite excruciating and patronizing enough.

[@AussieChemist]

First of all using a gold ring is a bad idea to set an example, no gold ring is made of pure gold( it is too soft on its own and needed to be made into alloys in order to make jewellery) chloroauric acid solution should be yellow and not black

[@D0BR0VECE]

True. But you typically dissolve alloy metals first, then use AR on filtered residue, which is mostly gold.

[@borneodayakheadhunterstria1658]

I love science.. Please teach me how to dissolve gold from other metals for easy steps

[@1hardman161]

I smelt with lead, then remove the lead by cupel. Left with a mixed metal button. End result need the gold. I need to remove other metals first, then AR for the gold.Any idea's on how? Thank's

[@D0BR0VECE]

HCL Sorry for the long wait.

[@gregorycornett1693]

Now can you extract the gold back out of it i need to do some more learning and research but you got my mind thinking

[@eunicechannel837]

You cant fool me! That ring is iron plated with gold.

[@9707tim]

I came for science and I stayed for the jokes 😂😂

[@ristube3319]

Escape plan was much better than most action movies. It’s surprising to hear that people think it’s awful, I could think of many blockbuster type films that were terrible, “Suicide squad” namely

[@bluetorch13]

when Jimmy Fallon and Bradley Cooper fuse with acid.

[@D0BR0VECE]

Fricking Fallon. I knew there was a reason why this guy annoys me.

[@nabinbhattarai4070]

can we extract that dissolve gold from the acid?

[@D0BR0VECE]

Yes

[@jlaurson]

I didn't really learn anything -- other than that those two acids, together, dissolve gold... mostly but not entirely? A greater focus on how they do it... as well as: Can the dissolved gold be regained from the remaining acid? Is the acid ever 'saturated' after doing such heavy lifting? Could the ring's rest have been dissolved? (What was that, anyway? Impurities in the ring (i.e. not 24k) that those acid-buddies couldn't tackle? So many questions.

[@Jorgen223]

do i understand this corectly, nitric acid can dissolve gold but the oxide is preventing from dissolving the rest?

[@brianmajor8954]

As a metallurgist and bladesmith, I love the chemistry dipicted here. You're also rather cute.

Aqua Regia was actually found by alchemist Ebu Musa Câbir bin Hayyan.

[@mashughulikaguo3535]

Can anyone help methods used to recover expired chemical for reuse

[@Ra1276]

How many ors can you use in a paragraph?

[@musiclifenatureandtravelsb9178]

Go straight to the point!

[@enidoku213]

so HNO3 + HCl -> H2O2 + ? , ???

[@NUSORCA]

Mix HNO3 with HCl in the ratio of 1:3 and they have to be concentrated!

[@DowntownLAKid]

I've heard some of these sounds before... Bill Nye the Science guy sound effects. I know it

[@jessepinkmansciencebitch224]

Great video!! But next time, can you see if organic matter will melt with this acid? Asking for a friend.... XD

[@jessepinkmansciencebitch224]

Also, will it melt through plastic containers?

[@PuddingXXL]

Organic matter is based on carbon. These multiple molecules that form our body for example or plants are pretty soluble. The acid is basically ionised so it desperatly wants to fill up its electrons again. (Ionised means its charrge is negativ or positiv). Batteries work on the same principal. You've got an acid that is reacting with certain elements. The acid will react with the element and will rrelease electrons, which travel through a certain cap, lithium for example. The acid will be saturated eventually which is displayed by the fact that the battery is empty. That is because it used up all the elemental material it was given to or because it was no longer ionised which means it was no longer acidic. So yeah, if you have a high concentration and the appropiate amount you could very easily "melt" organic material. This depends on the material, the concentration of the acid, the influences and catalysts that support or hinder the reaction and many other factors, keep that in mind. Hope that answers the question for you.

[@PuddingXXL]

Oh and that depends on the plastic in use.

[@bradmckay7750]

Pudding woooosh! Look at his username, he's making a Breaking Bad joke

[@iuliast08]

i really liked it

[@anonymouscoward9643]

if you were any good, you'd recover the gold out of the solution and cast it back into a ring...

[@areafifty]

It's not that difficult

[@shawnie2027]

This comment tells just WHY your the “anonymous” cow😏🤷‍♀️just sayin

[@jubalpradhan8759]

Bro you got a doppelganger! Jimmy Fallon !!!!!!!!!!!

[@somosUS]

Haters gonna hate. Your jokes are great.

[@winwin0808]

How about messy is good?

[@BestBFam]

This video is awesome!

[@jayd2279]

Amiearly? Also Do acid vs diamond This will not get liked

[@AussieChemist]

Diamond does react with certain acid at room temperature according to my latest discovery

[@kitten_anakin]

i want see gold vs sbf5+hf.

[@moisesmattout]

I, for some wierd reason, felt curious about really strong acids. And this is the best video ever. As a cinephile, this was beautiful, and as a fricking weirdo this was informative

[@XenoTronusWeePoo850]

Gold. A good weapon to use against the Xenomorphs.

[@christianamato5192]

i love this video

[@obiorahrussell1735]

How did diplo get so smart XD

[@zekerios19688]

Does heavy metal melt your brain? ...

[@MathewCR]

I feel like I saw less than a minuto of what I really what to see

[@geekybeans]

GildedGuy vs Bog

[@MilanKarakas]

HCl can dissolve gold with help of H2O2.

[@karimmohamed8001]

Best video ever!!!❤️✨

[@FranklinDelanoBluth999]

Millennial science is a strange science indeed

[@FraktalPriest]

You forget about the power of editing already? Dissolve the ring! Bah! 😋

[@davidsmith1647]

You didn't even do a close up of the ring at the end

[@Shanbo26]

Seems to me there's a much easier and safer way to dissolve gold. Just drop it into a bucket of mercury. Although it's not nearly as spectacular. And it's still poisonous.

[@ScienceWithJames]

Shanbo26 The biggest danger isn't toxicity, its corrosive-ness.

[@ilFarhanAhmed]

Jabir ibn Hayyan - the guy who created the solution to dissolve Gold en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jabir_ibn_Hayyan

[@insertmemehere511]

Im here ,cuz of Gildedguy Vs Bog

[@gigglechan15]

So while I understood all the jokes I think the next video needs more Middle Earth jokes

[@bighit20100]

Awesomesauce!

[@barcibus]

Subscribed

[@cukik6325]

someone take his movie privileges away so he can stop trying to make references to movies

[@winwin0808]

Gold is dissolved; diamond is burned... So sad. Cruel fact... TT

[@openyoureyesandseethefutur4889]

cool video

[@anton41]

The jokes are fine. Haters will always complain. You'll sharpen your channel over time.

[@Bbknuckles]

Your references were hilarious and perfect.. but I’m also 31 and I’m sure a lot of the 15yr olds on here have no idea what you were talking about lol.

[@anton41]

Broccoli Rob . I'm with you buddy

[@NUSORCA]

I am 15 and I know balancing a chemistry formula is backbreaking!

[@texasthib2029]

Broccoli Rob 28 here, they’re garbage

[@winwin0808]

Religious: This world is so messy.

[@haliax8149]

The humor is just poking at the fact that most of you have 5 second attention spans anyways.

[@KurtRichterCISSP]

Half Windsor? Such a knot does not befit a video and presenter of this quality...

[@nerijusurbelis2099]

can acid freeze

[@ScienceWithJames]

Nerijus Urbelis of course it can

[@blueflwer8001]

Gildedguy vs bog Season 2

[@jerrygu5316]

welcome to the best part of this video: the comment section.

[@sunnypostt4986]

You talk to much i didnt find out what happened

[@gracemercy5825]

Is he Jimmy Fallon in character

[@DoodieYT]

So cringy, lmao.

[@shacksmedia3197]

You never dissolved a teddy bear😢

[@skyney17]

what happens if u put diamond in it :D

[@davidliu6182]

nicholas flamel YAH subbbbbed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@P3DR0877]

It should have been titled can acid melt the gold off the ring. Honestly lame I thought you were going to melt a small gold nugget

[@modernmodern7070]

Please keep it to the point 1 minute would have gotten you at least 2 million watchers!

[@InsanePorcupine]

Are you the expoert on the algorithm or something? I enjoyed his video and wouldn't have clicked on a 1 minute vid.

[@redgringrumble7617]

WUBBA LUBBA DUB DUUUUUUUBBBB

[@KurtRichterCISSP]

Redgrin Grumble I'm sorry to hear that, buddy. Let us know if we can help.

[@jayd2279]

Do you know how to cure "great pain"?

[@redgringrumble7617]

I've got a new catch phrase, kids: "I looooooove Flinn Science videos"! BURGER TIME!

[@jayd2279]

Redgrin Grumble Burger time!?

[@randompersonontheinternet5770]

Filip Doba burger time! :)

[@anutoshchowdhury]

[@camendiv]

I can’t. It’s too hipster.

[@specjade8613]

such a bad "reaction" in the comments section

[@FAW9001]

What the hell are you talking about. Put the ring in the aqua regia and stop trying to be John Green.

[@alansimpson2315]

Who new acid could be this annoying. ?

[@daniel5610]

Stop this comedy i came here for gold

[@justwatching1289]

Youre all talk. I just want to see the reaction. Wth

[@dynamogaming8628]

Balablalalalalla

[@meganpmyrick]

Would love more science and less attempts at humor:)

[@winwin0808]

Love is religious and abstract and nothing and does not make any sense.

[@jamesmorgan403]

All that talk and you didn't even do the experiment.... ffs

[@jackfee3629]

Why would you want to take something educational and turned it into something so stupid is beyond me take this kind of crap off

[@ruanfernando]

omgggg so many jokes so little science. keep the jokes to the first and last 10% please

[@alexia3552]

The jokes lmao

[@goldacidanimations5247]

Geeee....

[@TheGodzuky]

TOO MANY MOVIE REFERENCES

[@matthewshoebrooksshoebrook5509]

He talks to much

[@leebowles3579]

This is a waste of time. He is more interested in being a clown.
