I’m sorry but the line “50% of it is water , that’s about half the container” reminds me of “every 60 seconds in Africa is a minute “
Thinking about it, solid crystals will take up more space than a liquid simply because of the air gaps between crystals. So 'about' half the container would be accurate.
.
53% of it is water. Half the container it is not. It was properly worded.
Ah yes the floor here is made of floor
Given a) 53% Of the CRYTALINE STRUCTURE is water & b) Airgaps Between crystals(thus inefficiency)
Thus, that 3% is going to 'go up in smoke'
Aergo "More than half of this is water" isn't a good presumption unless this was 1 solid crystal block. - it'd only be accurate to say "Approximately half the container is water; as The crystaline-compound compound is techincally 53% water"
And then just drop the 53% instead of saying "more than half of this is water"
For someone who clings to that 3% so much, he certainly didn't make any effort to actually like, MEASURE whaat he put into the beaker, by weight and then compare the evaporated->Condensated water.
1kg would be plenty to show the proof.

What you made is sort of like how lime is made in a lime kiln. They cook sea shells and chalk (CaCO3) until it becomes CaO. Similarly, it reacts readily with water, creates tones of heat, and forms a hard brick when the reaction is done. It's also highly caustic.
Apparently, this is partly how ancient self-repairing concrete was made. 👍🏻

I have dyshidrotic eczema, it's basically a rare form of eczema that causes small blisters on you hands and feet. I often get infections from it, given my line of work. This type of eczema can last months at a time. It's actually a big part of my VA disability, since I started to get it when I was active duty. Anyways, back on topic. When I have break outs, I take epsom salt baths to help with infections and to sooth my skin. Since epsom salt is also an astringent, it helps cure the infections, and it helps with my very irritated skin.
I love epsom salt. Now it's nice to know that in a pinch I can just heat some up and stay hydrated, lol, you know in the event there is an apocalypse.
Nile made himself what we prospectors call a Dolly Pot. We use them to crush potential ores to release gold and other precious minerals. It works better if you use a pipe with a diameter about twice the diameter of your striker though. To tight and the little stuff interferes and slows you down.

A common trick when welding and brazing cast iron is to cover the piece with fire resistant blankets to make it cool down at a slower rate to avoid cracking, and I'm thinking that it might work for the glassware in the heating mantle as well. Of course it wouldn't work here because of the huge rock you made, but maybe it's worth trying in another experiment. You should be able to find the blankets relatively cheap just as a fire blanket that you can have at home to put out fires and 350C shouldn't be any trouble at all for a blanket like that.

I believe the contamination when the water became murky and you began to experience the sulfur smell came from the pipe you used to crush the chunk in.

Especially with podcasts I'm pretty sure there have been a few that I listened to with audible for at least 6 months if not longer than a year consistently as main sponsor.

Very well played.
You could probably measure the degree of hydration of the first batch of extracted salt by comparing the weight of the salt before and after?
Additionally, my experience with using blenders to break down solid chunks/objects is that the object needs to be subjected to some kind of stress (or not be held together particularly strongly) first. Sometimes using a little water (though it would be counter productive in this case) can help, other times you need to whack at it a little to break up the hard, outer covering (particularly if the outer covering is smooth or has some kind of binder holding it together) or introduce microstresses into the object.

I'm literally in constant fear that he's gonna reveal that everything went wrong.
Same
Its the way he talks
Just waiting for the "but" xD
I've always appreciated that he's not afraid to show his mistakes.
Lol same. He always says stuff like "I thought this would work" or "This seemed like it was going okay" or "I tried to do this". The way he talks just makes me so anxious😂
It's very interesting because it keeps you watching and interested.
This is easily one of my favourite videos
here in [wherever i live, dont worry about it] we use ice melt winter road salts in baths. burns so good, clears the sinuses too, inflames the membranes cuz thats good too.

New version: “Nile Red salt water”
chem boy salt water
I was looking for this comment
the mad lad DRANK BATH '(salt) WATER
Let try trow sodium in it
Honestly, "Nile Red Salt Water" Sounds like some kind of exotic, alternative medicine ingredient.
Hydrates are nature’s equivalent of filling the chip bag with air.
Genius 😂👌
The dumb consumers still buy it
Blue Sap
Yeah, pringles are smarter... but it’s not potato chips... potato chips are sold with too much air... but they are potato chips
Just look at the *weight* instead of the size of the bag when shopping for chips
It's actually Nitrogen in chip bags to keep it fresher for longer.
I can't help but notice how often he says 'though'. Irrelevant thought aside, I'm always amazed by the experiments and the thought process for them!
Glauber salt Na2SO4.10H2O. So 10 bound waters to epsom salts 7. It undergoes a phase change at 35C, ie solid to liquid with a substantial heat of fusion. It has been used/proposed as a heat storage media
Chalk: Crumbles in your hand
Magnesium Sulfate: Too tough to break with a hammer
Nigel: Seems similar to me.
not so. look in up in engineering specs.

speak for yourself buddy~!
Ok female
Let vape it!

Nah actually it's just money. That's what men want, money and power.
1:05 its also called water of crystalline as it is attached to a crystallized structure
That was pretty cool to see boiling salt into water.
Like when it became into cement it felt like litteral rock.
That's why it's called Epsom salt and not Ep-all salt.

Jeffrey Epsom did nothing wrong
"A thirsty chemist made water out of bath salts. This is what happened to his kidneys."
"Scientists hate him, find out how to get rid of that gross gunk from in your body in one single step."
Presenting ☝️ to the emergency room
Emia meaning present in blood.
Nice to see ChubbyEmu memes here.
Conclusion: it gave him a tummy ache
Drywall (sheetrock) often has chemically bound water in the dry chalky center portion. Especially certain fire rated types of drywall.
When it is heated the water is chemically released, creating steam. The drywall will not get hot enough to allow the flame to spread to the other side of the wall until the water has boiled away.
Can we have some qualitative and quantitative analysis in the future? I kinda miss that from my technical high school years, back in the 90's.
I can see the chubbyemu video now:
"A CZcamsr drank water distilled from bath-salts. This is what happened to his kidneys."
Penitent Hollow NR is a 29-year-old presenting to the emergency room with headaches and internal bleeding. On examination, (where we are now) there seems to be nothing wrong with him, but several clues point to bathsaltwateremia, bathsaltwater meaning water distilled from bath salts, and emia meaning presence in blood.
-emia means present in blood
lmao
(but it's just like bad tasting water, and he drank a very small amount)

Someone tag him 😭
"I tried jamming it in, and it didn't work at all, and for a second, I was worried that I had messed up."

"...and I spent the next 5 hours smashing two pipes together."
All for just a cup of water.
Oh god
@@andyking894 we've all been there right? ...Right guys?
Is it just me or that sounds like something else
You also have to think about the volume of the container. More water will fit in liquid form than salt granules as a solid
epsom salts solution can also be drunk as a laxative , although has side effects
love how the same guy who made a semiconductor for fun tried to put a solid rock in a food processor because somebody said it worked for chalk
superconductor*
Semiconductors are very different.
@@General12th Yea, semiconductors are those folks who stand out on highways with orange batons tellin the semis which way to go
I think he got an electric mandoline slicer instead of a food processor.
@@pdsnipe I'd let Nigel process my food any day if you know what I'm saying. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

8:45 Nile without context:
"Over the next few hours, I was able to squeeze out another 100ml but it was insanely slow. It was also getting really late and I was now stuck with a problem. I could leave it overnight and let it finish, but I was worried about leaving something that hot completely unattended" omfg
