@@JoeSkylynx You just had to go and mention using nitric acid for use in explosives, didn't you? :( Ever wonder why we amateur chemists even have to go through all these steps to make our own nitric acid instead of just buying it from the hardware store like in the good old days? Or why honest KZbin chemists keep getting channel strikes for purely wholesome and educational content (whilst objectively offensive and hateful content is allowed to remain on KZbin?) It's because of people like you whose first thought is to use any chemical for producing explosive substances. This is why we can't have nice things. When _I_ hear about nitric acid, my first thought is to use it for refining precious metals or as an oxidizer for liquid-fuel rockets. *Don't* try to make your own smokeless powder at home unless you relish the possibility of turning your barrel into a metal flower and place relatively little value on your hands and fingers. Considering how easy it is to blow up your firearm with an improper charge of _factory produced propellants_ or even to get other terrifying/undesirable results just by using the _wrong sort_ of powder (e.g. reloading rifle cartridges with pistol powder or mixing rifle and pistol powders), making your own smokeless powder to deal with high ammo prices is extremely foolish. To be fair, it wouldn't be hard to make rudimentary propellants like cordite, but good luck finding reliable data for reloading modern cartridges like .223 with cordite, given that that propellant has been obsolete since the sun finally set on the British Empire. And even once you have your cordite, you'd have a long and tortuous battery of trial-and-error experiments awaiting you: good luck figuring out the correct grain size, shape, and burn rate to achieve decent, consistent performance somewhere between squib loads and kabooms. And this is all while avoiding frightening accidents in the production stage such as runaway nitration and accidental ignition of reagents/products that have plagued even industrial ammo manufacturers over the years. If you somehow have the setup to produce high-quality, reliable, and consistent smokeless powder at home with a healthy margin of safety, then you probably have the means to either hire private security or to buy out every box of ammo in your preferred calibers within the tri-state area.

Another way to remove the NO2 and create perfectly clear nitric acid is to use an aquarium air pump or something similar. Just let it blow air into the flask for an hour and the acid is clear. If you have a multi-neck flask you can even do this during the distillation. If you really care about the purity you can first clean the air flow with some NaOH (to remove CO2, etc..) and dry it with CaCl2.

I know this video is 4 years old or so but hopefully you’ll still be around to answer my question. I need to make 10-20 liters of nitric acid, 70% is sufficient. Would you recommend the dry 2 method for this? I saw the yield was about 28 ml of 95% nitric. If so, will this scale up nicely if I were to 5-10x the batch size? And if you wouldn’t recommend this method, which would you recommend? Using sulfuric + nitrate salt? Just trying to make nitric cheaper than I can buy but components also cost money, including the electricity to keep the hot plate that hot so I’m trying to strike a balance between speed, efficiency and overall cost.

Yes, but also ammonia. NH3 will not only destroy some of your HNO3, but it's also a waste of nitrogenous product -- better to use hydrogen peroxide which will actually create more nitric acid. The amount is small, but if you do this repeatedly and are very careful to keep the h2o2 scrubbing solution cold and in an amber (or opaque or foil-wrapped) bottle/flask, you can accumulate a decent amount of "extra" nitric acid over time. You'll probably have to reuse the scrubbing solution relatively quickly, though, as h2o2 is quite unstable (hence the cold-and- dark clause above) and I don't know how long it'll last once you start bubbling NOx through it. I'd imagine a few weeks at least, based on research I just made up in my head :)

Is the demand for sodium nitrite that high? and what do amateurs use it for?
@Andrew-my1cp4 жыл бұрын
@@NurdRage Well, the demand is semi high. As you probably know it's used for diazotizations. Just like nitric acid it has a couple uses in energetic chemistry. It's used to make azides and turn sodium picramide to diazodinitrophenol. Outside of energetic chemistry it can be used to diazotize lots of things. Alcohols, amine groups, etc. One interesting synthesis of an azo dye uses a diazotization reaction of 4-aminophenol to form a compound that will react with naphthalen-2 ol to form the azo dye. Sodium nitrite can also be used for an amateur to produce copious amounts of nitrogen dioxide gas when mixed with a mineral acid, commonly HCl. When you mix a mineral acid with the sodium nitrite in cold solution, the nitrous acid that's formed is a bit more stable and doesn't immediately decompose. It has a really nice blue color to it. This is the acid that will attack the amine groups or alcohols. It is commonly bought online but many people do not have access to it at all due to regulations. I think it'd make a really great video. Also if you need to make ultra pure sodium you can use the sodium nitrite to make sodium azide. Once you purify the azide you can make ultra pure sodium metal by decomposing it. This works since azides turn into the respective metal and nitrogen gas. Also just a question I have: Do you plan on any multi step organic synthesis in the future? I love those types of series but I also personally know they can be a lot of work. Love your work by the way!

@@NurdRage I would like to personally thank you for all you have done. Because of your great work among this world you have inspired me to study chemistry. Your knowledge passionately pushing me to remain curious, to question the world around me, to avidly want to experiment, create. I could go on and on, but I know your time is valuable. Thank you, truly, thank you.

I have the opposite problem. I have access to large quantities of 98% Sulphuric Acid but very low access to any nitrated salt.

Nitrogen dioxide is one of the components of smog. Short-term exposure to concentrations above 100 mg / m3 causes pulmonary edema and death, and if the patient survives the acute phase, he develops fibrinous-thrombotic bronchiolitis and pneumonia. One of my favorite toxins. Good video, but are all gloves suitable for nitric acid? from what I remember nitrile and latex burn when in contact with this acid (at least at high concentrations).

Most organic compounds react with such powerful oxidizers as HNO₃, but then again that includes your hands, so it's not a bad idea to have some sacrificial protection in the way. There are chemical resistance charts out there that tell you how long it takes for different concentrations to eat through various glove materials, so pick whatever fits your application and sacrifices an acceptable level of mobility.
