3:00 AM - Reaction of Potassium and Water
😂😂😂…..underrated
Hey that's me right now
Same here...
😂😂lol
Atleast u learned something last night at 3am I saw a Hippo Farting video :(
Me eating banana and drinking water: "Guess I'll die"
kaboom
Literally lmfao 🤣

The human stomach knows no bounds
Lmao underrated comment
“Potassium is extremely soft, we can easily flatten the potassium metal”
*Knife Bends*
cheap knife probably.lol.
😂💀
@@justincooper5189 nah he using plattinum knife
That's because of the plate underneath, not the potassium, probably.
It’s because of tempering. Knifes of that nature are supposed to bend
"We can easily flatten out the potassium metal."
*frustratingly bends knife*
Hahaha it was frustrating!!
Just watching him bend that knife that much was pure cringe
@@terrorrbabbletwo I don't think cringe is the right word or maybe you're for real
plot twist: the knife is made of potassium too, that's why it bent
That's what happens when you use cheap knives 🤦♂️
“Consistency of Creme Cheese” “You can simply flatten it”
*knife starts bending*
Not sure where he gets his cream cheese.
My particular favourite is when people compare sizes... e.g. "It was the size of a small walnut!" I mean, how small? The size of a hazelnut? A pea? If it's not the size of a standard walnut, don't compare it to one!
spreading cold cream cheese is tough
@@thornerg2: This video was produced in the US where almost everything is normally measured in “football fields”, a considerably more standardized and reliable system of measurement. But there are always radical minds out there, especially in the scientific world, who are never happy and who seek constant change. Today it’s walnuts...what’s next? The metric system?
The knife was very thin as u can see
@@rayray8687 a football field the size of a large walnut.
Water: "Hey Potassium, did you know my chemistry name is H2O?"
Potassium: "K."
Niiice
HAAAAAAAAAHHHAAAA 😂
Sodium : Naaaa
damn all the good jokes Argon

There will never be a better way to give lessons of chemistry than seeing it with your own eyes.
@@timothy6129 So long as it involves a visual sense of things vs just being told about it through mere words then consider me a believer.
@@timothy6129 and what way is it? consuming it?
@Abdulaziz Mohammed I can definitely agree about the practical part, which I will without a doubt take over any kind of schooling any day.
@@timothy6129 ever heard of public school?
I love the video, but I rather watch it in a lab.
Anyone else's anxiety start peaking when the knife started bending because they thought the blade was gonna snap, fly up and bust my man's eye out? Or was it just me?
😐
I honestly thought the same man
He is probably wearing safety goggles.
U too huh?
just you mom.
Now this is how chemistry is supposed to be taught.
Exactly 😊

The reaction is highly exothermic. This is why the evolved Hydrogen immediately caught fire
Thank you for that info I had my questions but u gave my answer

There is exposed potassium like in the video and we eat a potassium that is being controlled by outside elements
•Floats on the surface
•Moves around the surface
•Burns with a lilac flame
•Fizzes giving off a gas
•Heat is released
•Small explosion
•Eventually disappears
•Forms a colourless solution

that heat is hygrogen gas btw
Omg you are a lengend thx so much!!!
You just saved me an hour of my homework, thanks so much 😅💖
you’re amazing, tysm!! :)
Our achievement in chemistry :-
We as a class destroyed 54 test tubes in a single year.
My chemistry teacher is so strict about everything. But watching this helps me out a bit. She actually tells all of us that it's ok to ask doubts but when we ask she gets pissed and tells us
"what were you doing when I was teaching you" She's the kind of teacher that watches you go through absolute hell because of her while smiling
I came to highschool loving chemistry and now chemistry is the subject that I hate the most.
It's really hard for me to understand but I actually appreciate you filming all of this and explaining stuff.
Thank you so much.

We can easily flat out potassium.
Also him: about to break a steel knife.
You just saw potassium is easily cut, and your joke is centered around him exaggerating how easy it is to smash yet steel bent. Steel is metal. It happens.
It's metal that is soft like cheese.
Such irony.

A very fine dish, best savored rather than loading up on a lot of it. Once you get over the slight metallic taste, it is bound to become one of your favorite dishes.
"Mom, I know what the potassium looks like!"
"Oh yeah? Did you open a banana today in the lab?"
Had a chemistry professor in college who loved demonstrating chemical reactions. One end to a semester he let students come to his house to celebrate. They had a little too much to drink, and is I recall he told us, students took a 1kg brick of his potassium in a boat on the lake he lived next to. They threw it overboard and had a giant explosion. They all came away unscathed, but I guess that explosion was heard for miles. He was a great teacher, everyone was enthusiastic about learning in his class.
I would like to see it too XD
World needs more teachers like him then.
He's in deep love with chemistry
Rip local wildlife lol
The chemistry teacher we all deserved but never got.
We did this at school, exactly the same. Nowadays everyone is safety averse and one loses the fun of science.
Really? My previous chem teacher did this with us earlier in the year. He said its easier to remember and understand when you've done it yourself so he tries to gives as many practicals as we can.
true that
maybe you weren't the student that chem teacher wanted D:
I remember my teacher letting us cut a piece of sodium or potassium and letting us put it in a bucket of water. It was awesome.
Your teacher is amazing, my teacher let us imagine cutting them

easy is relative. it was very easily compared to something like a rock
Having these kinds of experiments during a chemistry class would be 100 times better than to have the teacher talk about it and write equations down. ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ
While in high school, my biology teacher told us a story about a student stealing a large chunk of potassium from the lab by putting it in his pocket. This student had gym the following period and started to sweat. This then led to a loud "POP!"
Now the student can no longer have kids...
Damn thats *nuts*
“Persperate?!”

Awesome I wish my chemistry teacher would have taught us like this.
So in short, potassium's reaction was "K"
Fun Fact: In all arrangements of periodic table half of it can be eaten.
The question is if we put it in our mouth, doesnt it burn and pop?
Most (obviously not every) of the elements in periodic table are anyways found in the food we eat be it non-veg or veg.
Last night I ate uranium, it made my stomach heavy.
You can actually eat every element. It's just that you'll die...

The instruction videos on youtube - those which are not political in any way - are phenomenal. People are tired of the feminist/communist influence on todays learning and in science in general.
Yes
@@muslimsrememberapostacyday556 dont you hate it when they get feminism in your lernin? Anways shut up
homeschooling is BEST schooling.
This is not a new concept
I had this in my lessons and obviously we want to do experiments but as it is dangerous and obviously unavailability of metals makes us unable to do. But we wanted to see how it happens and this video is so helpful for those situations
This is a good reaction video, better than any CZcamsr does
why is this suddenly on everyone's recommended 9 years later lmao

Idk why but the moment I heard "Ionisation energy", my heart started beating faster and it felt like I had a super important test tomorrow morning...
It's like one of those times when you're just chilling and then out of nowhere you get really nervous that you're forgetting something but you don't know what.
No, no you have a point. It's like a word you only care to learn for a test
Maybe you have potassium deficiency

Such a very informative and helpful post 👍
Is anyone else in agreement that when cutting, the metal appears low key delicious...

Just like the gentleman said above it is not appealing because of the colour.

Used to read the word potassium a thousand times a day in school imagining how it looks like🤔😐.But seeing this now is a great relief to my brain and soul.🙄

So true
Very nice and useful video. Thanks for uploading such a video.
I worked for Osram Sylvania light bulb company back in the 90's. I worked the damage area. I would make a good box of light bulbs from boxes with broken bulbs. We had these certain bulbs with potassium in them. I needed to break them in a 50 gallon trash barrel filled with water. I had so much fun showing all the new guys the fire in water those bulbs would make.
Those K your girlfriend keeps on sending you when she's mad basically stands for potassium. Such a reactive reaction.
Its reaction with water explains why potassium is vital to the heart function. Great video

@@michaelqiu9722 nerd alert
@@BlueBlaze99 Actually I was wrong. Potassium metal is made by reducing potassium in KCl with sodium metal, which you would think isn't possible, but actually can be done by removing potassium away from the system as it easily evaporates. The electrolysis method isn't viable because potassium metal is soluble in KCl.
