Most table salts also contain anti-caking agents such as sodium alluminosilicate, sodium ferrocyanide, potassium ferrocyanide, calcium carbonate or magnesium carbonate to prevent clumping and to make packaging and transport easier. Salts may also have iodine as an additive to prevent iodine deficiency. Iodized salt is typically advertised/labeled as such and you can read the ingredients on the package of your table salt to see what anti-caking agents are added, if any.

If you smell a little ammonia, that was some of the nitrogen reacting with the Na, but there won't be much.

Hey NileRed, I know this is an old video but I have a request, could you possibly revisit the molten sodium on chlorine gas reaction in the flask, or the 'lantern reaction' as you put it but this time in an oxygen free environment? Perhaps just by placing the string holding the Na on a stopper that is then placed over the flask to keep some of the atmosphere out? The reason I ask is because there is an old alchemy tale about a thing called a 'Hermetic Light', which is essentially a light-bulb created by using what I've translated to be sodium metal and an unknown gas in a sealed airtight container which was said to glow indefinitely(or a very long time) first explored by the legendary alchemist Hermes, when I saw that reaction I could think of nothing else and I would love to see just how long this reaction could be sustained in a hermetically sealed container or if it would work at all. I know, I know, it's wishy-washy alchemy bs... but still. I'd be cool to see what actually happens. Just because these people didn't have the benefit of the scientific method doesn't necessarily mean they where wasting their time 100% of the time.

So how large was the reaction and when did it occur that created all the salt in our world today so that the oceans are substantially salty, as well as all the various salt mines littered around the globe? That much chlorine and sodium existed at some point? When? How?!

can you make sodium metal from salt
@SlmKBatero698 жыл бұрын
You have to electrolyse the molten salt. Google "electrolysis of molten sodium chloride" if you're interested.

Yeah totally, heating to about 600 degrees and then electrolysing is super easy

The way most people do it is to mix carbon black with sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), then heating it to 1100 degrees C. Everything but the sodium escapes as carbon monoxide.

Make sure you pressurise and heat that chlorine as well, as things seem to doze off at low temperatures

Sodium ionizing is such a pretty color. Probably got alot to do with mans fascination with fire. With my high voltage, high current experiments (6-700w @ 30-40 kV, which is in the mA range, but thats heaps enough for solid plasma), a large NaCl crystal was one of the coolest things to zap. Once it got hot enough, crazy bright. Being electricity, it always found some odd shaped 'shortest' paths, but a furious glow. Good call to bottle that magic n call it technology. Cool vid dude, as always, many thanks.

It surprises me more and more just how similar Destiny's and my child lives were, I remember to this day just how annoying it was having to get both my parents and teacher to sign my assignment book each day; i also knew that feeling of wanting to cry cause homework felt was like too much even though i knew it wasn't. Be that as it may, we had very different outcomes later in life and i was only ever a gold lvl sc2 player and he was a pro so jelly :c.
