Could u use calcium hypochlorite from say pool shock and potassium chloride in a cell like this ?

hi Could you make potassium perchlorate?

This little video of predictive programming brought to you by The World Economici Forum, Pfizer, and the ADL.

A wayward thought... aerosolized hydrogen peroxide is suspected to cause SO3 formation in the environment. I'm not sure what method would be best for aerosolizing H2O2, but there are peroxide fogging machines for sale (not sure how they're different from water foggers); I wonder whether one of those cheap atomization discs might work. Also, the logistics of combining gases might be an issue. In my experience, the vapor from those atomizers tend to be cold and fall, so perhaps just introducing concentrated peroxide vapor from somewhere above the distilling flask would help, especially at the later stage, when more water begins to form in the distilling flask, anyway.

No! Not getting a job!! 😂😂😂

If they could get 1 amp, from each battery at 4 volts this type of cell could be combined to make a 48v battery with 12 cells pushing out 12 amps x this by 100 and you have a very impresive power source. More than enough to charge a larger battery for however long each cell lasts, put everything in a clear packaging allowing it to absorb natural light and you have a solar panel that generates power all night and more during the day. It is just getting it up to 1 amp which means experimenting with solar panel used and size.

My favorite part of the video was the sneaky diss on Nigel at the end. 😂

Yo!!

What about using a top-loading kiln with boiling chips? Instead of closing the lid of the kiln, buy some rockwool or ceramic-fiber insulation so you can have the glass sticking out of the top. If stirring is a must, then try wrapping the reaction flask and the top edge of the hot plate in ceramic wool. If that doesn't work, I'd try building a box out of hardware cloth and coating it in refractory cement. If you make it so it can drop down over the flask's neck and support it on some plain old bricks or those screw lifts, you could even add some supplemental heat from a butane torch firing up from underneath.

always love your work!

Wait. You exist?!

keep talking nerdy to us

So glad youre back! 🤩

Oleum? Darn near killed um!

Could this method be adapted to obtain metallic potassium? thanks 🥰

I initially misread the title and thought the video was about the zero-calorie fat substitute, turns out that's Olestra Definitely don't confuse the two

А нельзя ли приблизительно рассчитать теоретически, в каком интервале будет происходить реакция с образованием SO3, а в каком другая реакция? Через энергию Гиббса, например

Awesome

I didn’t realize you were back making videos. I missed a bunch I’ll have to go back over. You made the best early CZcams science content

can you use an open flame for heating? reason: cheaper and more common & the solution doesn't require stirring. problem: temperature control.

Could roughing up the glass at the end of the condenser provide nucleation sites for the crystals to form again after melting?

which scintillators have best value?

Thanks for this...I loved Chemistry at school, especially the lab work and watching demonstrations. It's like being back there, accompanied by the same sense of wonder

i was going to suggest Nichrome wire raped on the spigot but google says it may corrode in the presence of air or if heated this is a contaminated idea for the algorithm...

I've been following for many years and do my best to like every video I see. I'm sadly too poor to be able to give to a Patreon,

I would like to see you work on your hot plate. That kind of thing is interesting to me.

awesome vid

it may be viable to use a cooking hot plate as they get red hot on full power, theyre dime a dozen and precision is not necessary here so a simple thermocouple under the flask should be sufficient for control, good research as always

This reminds me of the making sodium video. Using oleum to pre dry the sulfuric acid seems like a logical step. I also think that a larger ratio of bisulfate should be used since the catalyst has a maximum water capacity.

It looks like you're losing some sulfur trioxide out of the vacuum adapter. Have you consider passing this through water to capture it as sulfuric acid or is not worth it?

hey youtube: he exists

Is there a non reactive crystal that you could "glue" to the end of the exit nozzle that would help create a seed site for the polymerization to occur? Or does it have to occur naturally?

You exist. Congratulations!

I always fancied a stainless steel apparatus fed with sulphur powder and air and producing SO3 over a V2O5 catalyst fused onto a mesh. Dissolving the product SO3 in strong sulphuric acid would have made a stronger acid then an oleum/acid mix. Realistically my need for oleum didn't justify the cost :(

Don't worry, you exist!!!

... throw the solid SO3 into some paper please o.o

What about a carbothermal reduction of the gallium oxide?

How about separating lead and antimony from ammunition to get pure lead?

Wicked looking waxy solid.

Yeaaaah now we we can make sulfuric acid

Great improvements! I think some way of infrared heating may work directly through glass and heat up crystallized oleum directly. Would be faster than heating the flask.

Three comments: 1) Have you tried improving yield by adding aluminium (Al3+) ions to the reaction? Heating potassium-aluminum-sulfate used to be the alchemists' way of making sulfuric acid. I don't know, if the products sold as aluminum sulfate Al2(SO4)3 are indeed anhydrous, but they should give up their water readily at boiling sulfuric acid temperature. Anyway, I think Al3+ ions might also act catalytical and a small percentage of added aluminium sulfate might lower the melting point of your sodium bisulfate (and having a small amount of potassium bisulfate in the mix might lower the melting point even more). 2) With a substances as hygroscopic as oleum/sulfur trioxide I'd probably prefer to exclude moisture from the distillation apparatus using a moisture trap - but I can understand if for concerns of pressure build up you do without a trap. 3) Heating device: Here really a metal bath made out of a low melting alloy might make sense. You could use a normal electric hotplate as heat source. Heat transfer will be much better if you can (partially) immerse the reation flask into the bath rather than having it stand on top of a plate.

I wonder if a stamped metal (or other material) shape might help to collect the crystals? something that folded and gripped the pipette feeding the collection vessel, that served as either a heat sink (via convection, may cool the solution that drips off) or a collection point itself.

Dear NSA, I’m not a terrorist, just a aspiring chemist

If I'm understanding this reaction correctly, initial chemicals could be dissolved in separate containers and stored for later use so long as the sugar/dextrose is not added to the mixture until it's time to do the final mirroring reaction? And the silver nitrate solution should be maintained in dark glass. And potassium hydroxide should be a suitable substitute in the event sodium hydroxide is not available?

Similar to the sodium vids, would an oleum starter work for better yield? IE get as close to 100% H2SO4 (and a bit over) to ensure there is no water to ruin yield? You could then keep recycling that for your pyrolysis?
