      Then what's Galnakinstan, a merger between two countries?
      If the demonym for someone from Afghanistan is Afghan, and Pakistan is Pakistani, what's the demonym for Galinstan and Galnakinstan? Galinstani and Galnakinstani?
      If we alloyed together iron, cobalt, and nickel and called it Feconi, do we call those people Feconians?
      Are we gonna have a Galnakinstan-Feconian war?

      Would be an interesting alloy. Nd2Fe14B is a strong magnet as is SmCo. Neodymium and Samarium are both rare earth metals (lanthanides) just like Dysprosium and Lanthanum, so they have similar magnetic properties.

    Edit: thanks for breaking the stereotype about most Americans wearing shoes indoors, it was interesting. Also, thanks to Cody for answering my question.
    Let me break a stereotype as well: Russia is no longer Soviet, the USSR fell apart in 1991, and not many people are communist here. Some people enjoy the way their life was in USSR, some don't. But well, if you already know that, then no offence taken on the jokes :)
    Edit 2: I am saying that 11-12°C is cold when inside, if outside - it's fine. Right now (March 17th) it's -9°C in Moscow and it feels hot due to windiness. I personally can be okay up to -20 degrees, if colder - well, more clothes to put on. But as for any indoor place (especially at home) - this is what I write about below.
    _______________
    As a Russian I find it absurd how your room temperature is just 11-12 °C. It's too cold for normal room temperature. In fact, the least room temperature that is considered normal here is 18°C and the most is, I think, 25°C (which is already a bit too warm for me when I need to move around the room a lot). I remember freezing at 14°C at school during winter, but since we were mostly sitting down in class it was explicable, plus, negative 25° didn't really help us keep warm during the trip to school :D
    I wonder if this is why many Americans leave their shoes on at home - because it keeps them warm...

    This video is 100% a science video, but somehow like 78% ASMR… Glass clinking, metal alloys burning and crackling, the sound of brushing, bubbling, stirring, tapping and so on. This is oddly satisfying to listen to.

    Of course you get liquid Metal after mixing two solid... This is why I don't understand chemistry. Is there a way to calculate this reaction before testing?

      Yes. Probably a bit beyond first-year chem though.

      Yeah, you can look at the phase diagram. I think the stuff he was saying about entropy can be used to qualitatively get the new melting point at any composition, but I'm not sure.

    Indeed, this is a disruption of a higher entropy mixture or maybe better to say bringing more order to a mixture. Quite unique video, well done.
    You can check the remnant alloy for any sodium or potassium by swirling it in water with few drops of ethanolic solution of phenolftalein. Even tiny amounts will increase pH considerably and turn it magenta.

    I wonder if Cody would be tempted to see if gallium can sustain a liquid state at body temperature and if so, drink it considering its non-toxic (correct me if im wrong)
    Edit: Just watched the video on the second channel and its non-toxic...DO IT

    Could you use Gallium instead of Oil when Cooking Meat?
    Its not Toxic and has high boiling point...so,why not?

    Cool timing with this video. I was watching another video on the Periodic Table of Videos channel about Nak. After learning about it on that video, I was going to come ask you about it if you have ever played around with it and bam, you make a video about it. The fact is was used as a coolant in nuclear reactors kinda blew my mind. Keep up good work and content!

    That is really cool. I did some similar work with sodium aluminum and mercury. The sodium amalgam was on my glove and reacted with aluminum flashlight, causing the Al to oxidize and grow giant white snakes of the oxide that just will not quit.

    You might be interested to know that galinstan can be used as an alternative to NaK for solvent stills. Organometallic and inorganic chemistry labs typically require extremely dry solvents, which is why they usually have a bunch of solvent stills boiling away with alkali metals in them: Sodium for toluene or xylene, potassium for hexane or THF, and NaK for pentane or ether. Even in academic labs, some people frown on using NaK because it is so dangerous, so galinstan can be a useful alternative there.
    But how so, since galinstan itself doesn't react with water? Well, it can if you dissolve aluminium in it, which is easy enough to do: Just drop some aluminium granules into a beaker of galinstan, stir it around and it dissolves quite nicely, just like making sodium amalgam by dropping lumps of sodium into mercury. Don't use aluminium foil though - the high surface area means it tends to ignite when galinstan comes into contact with it and dissolves the oxide coating off.
    The galinstan-aluminium alloy is still liquid, and having the aluminium in liquid state makes it almost as reactive towards water as NaK, so is effective for drying solvents. Magnesium also dissolves in galinstan, so that is a slightly more aggressive alternative to aluminium. The only problem with using galinstan is that it sticks to glass, forming a mirror surface on any glass it touches. The only way to prevent this is to coat the surface of the glass with gallium oxide, which is possible but expensive. This is done for the glass capillaries used in some modern thermometers, where galinstan is used as a mercury substitute.

    Galinstan is the main thing in liquid metal thermal compound. It also has one of the largest differences between melting and boiling points of anything that's liquid at room temperature. That's mostly due to the gallium which by itslef has a range of over 2000 degrees between melting and boiling.
