At least Nile is prepared to deal with the consequences.

In industry hex-chrome waste will typically be treated with sodium bisulfite or magnesium bisulfite at a low pH. Once the Cr is reduced you'd increase the pH to around 9 to the metal oxide.

I think I'd cry if I had to clean that up. That's alot of hard work

[@cypher6083]

I'm still really curious about the final steps of this cleanup. What steps were taken to finally dispose of the remaining solids in the bags? If the end of your work was to just put it in a drawer and keep it forever you didn't really finish the cleanup.

Great to see how you take getting rid of your waste in a responsible way. Even though the video might not show it, your comments show that you know what you're doing. I'm sure there are also idiots out there that do the same experiments as you but just throw the waste down the drain and make it someone elses problem.

Nile adding more solid hydroxide to near boiling water: "there is a point where we needed to stop and we have clearly passed it, but let's keep going and see what happens"

[@simonfalkner1682]

I also added solid NaOH zu concentrated sulfuric acid once. Even though you know not to overdo things like that, I got some excitement out of freaking out my co-students in the lab because of the extensive fizzing. Nothing happened though 😇 On another occasion though I've seen a similar attempt to neutralize sulfuric acid end in a really dirty fumehood

[@harima997]

Wow I am way to dumb for this channel

[@mihir2607]

is it the case of curiosity caused the cat to boil the solution that it had to clean up afterwards ?

[@simonfalkner1682]

@@mihir2607 Well, two of my fellow students had the glorious idea of neutralizing about 500 ml of conc. H2SO4 less than 30 min before they had to leave the lab for the day. So they Put the acid in an erlenmeyer flask and started adding solid NaOH to it. At some Point it got to Boiling and startet foaming over. Then the lab assistans got a big bowl of cold water to place the Flask in upright, so that the overflow would flow into the Water. But then the Flask fell over and the whole Thing just bubbled over the big bowl aswell and into the fumehood xD They spent another 30 min after the lab closed to clean the mess up. And they had to bring a cake for compensation for the whole lab (though mainly for the assistants ^^)
