Lab Notes - Making Potassium Chlorate

[@sommon.]

Great vedio BTW how much time did you electrolysis it?

[@nunyabisnass1141]

I don't have a vacuum filter set up so separating the graphite is a little difficult in my case. I'm open to suggestions.

[@ftbtd]

Use other electrodes.

Use potassium Chloride instead of sodium, you can wash the dirty chlorate with either icewater or sth Like thanol,. The crystals are large enough to stay in your beaker, so you can Just discord the liquid. Recrystalize 2x and you have crytal clear White chlorate

@@sheesh7872 I'll try that, was afraid of losing some product but i guess it's so insoluable in cold water that it would be negligible. Thanks.

​@@sheesh7872 In the case of sodium chlorate, can the same be done?
