Remember when Nile Red broke all his glassware because it wasn't quite as inert as it needed to be? :D
LOL I definitely recall. PLASMA
I discovered Nile Red around the same time I discovered this channel. NightHawkInLight brought me here with the "making ruby" videos he did, and the ideas and techniques for which he credited to this channel.
Only his beakers, though, and it was because he had stressed some of them in the microwave
@@GRBtutorials I thought that was chemical-mechanical stress though, that he thought he'd leached some sodium and consequently induced some residual tensile stresses? Like the reverse of glass toughening where you swap some sodium for potassium and make compressive stresses at the surface.
Lol , hush , just watch . Lol
In the beaker, The Devil's Milkshake; in the baking dish, the Devil's Yogurt; fresh out of the oven, The Devil's Powdered Milk. Great content, as usual, man, keep it up and stay safe, bud!
Haha I love it
Could we get a tutorial video on how to turn the hands and eyes of our enemies into soap? Asking for some friends
@Adequate Bros. No crucification, just soap.
LOL!
@Adequate Bros. Soap...and .other things
@Adequate Bros. I wonder if people would ever become Christians if Jesus was turned to soap instead of crucifixion. Puntius Pilate could wash his hands thoroughly after that.
Get eyes of enemies, add strong base ... saponification. Although I'm not sure how much fat there actually is in an eyeball
Very much for showing us your process and I love the fact that you left the errors in it so we can all learn.most people always assume that experiments go perfect every time and they absolutely do not. Thanks for the reality check.
*Uh, yeah. Dude. Those are not "Common Items", unless you just so happen to be a mad scientist.*
*Loved the video. Thanks!*
You need to invest in a vacuum filtration set up
Ive actually got two awesome vacuum filtration setups and several vacuum pumps, just didn't want to etch my good stuff with hydroxide.
That is a bit of the problem of course
@@ElementalMaker: I don't really think the relatively short contact time when doing a vacuum filtration would do much damage. I never would have bothered to try gravity filtration with that slurry, but then again, my university pays for the glassware I use, so it wouldn't cost me anything. Cool video, though!
Remind me never to eat or drink at your house.
Your voice and humor remind me of a guy on knife making show. Seemed like a good guy. Won the show as i recall and went on to another show to make sure the sharp stuff was safe~ish.
(Said in Comic Book Guy's voice)
Good sir, your milkshake, respectively, does not bring the profuse allotment of the boys to "the yard".
I enjoy the informal chat and chemistry format of this channel, unlike those fancy channels that do things in a fancy fashion and edit out their mistakes.
Now we need the vid on the reaction with the aluminum
When I seen the aluminum, I instantly thought, “woah, this isn’t going to end well.
Hahaha yep I've used sodium hydroxide & aluminum lots of times to make LOTS of hydrogen
if you put your coffee filter into a wire mesh collander or strainer and then in the funnel it will drain A lot faster. when you use just a funnel you reduce the filtration to just the little spot at the bottom of the paper over the hole in the funnel.
Great video and Oh yeah, "Hello Little Friend!" Lol!
Take care, be safe, sane, and healthy!
Good to know you are atill making videos for our enjoyment. As we need to do something to watch during the lockdown. Cheers.
Just a friendly reminder that wood ash has calcium in it (the white ashes leftover after all the carbon gets burnt away). I'm not saying that in your situation it would've been easier to burn down wood for several hours then wash the potassium off of it, just a friendly reminder since it's easy to forget and a lot of people don't realize.
Actually one can manufacture sodium hydroxide by soaking water through wood Ash. Most of the white stuff is actually sodium. There is calcium there too but it's hard to access because of the co2 in the air reacting with it makes calcium carbonate.
@@Unmannedair I know with seaweed and other salt-water plants the sodium content is higher than the potassium content. Traditionally though, tree wood contains more potassium than sodium. That's why it's called potash and seaweed ash is called soda ash. Historically, for making hard soaps, people would add normal salt to potash in water to replace the sodium with potassium (to make sodium lye for soaps, since potassium lye makes softer soaps).
the calcium can be *specifically* reacted with air to make insoluble calcium carbonate, then washing the potassium / sodium / salts off of it, then re-fired in a crucible to make lime / ca(oh)2 again. If you want it pure.
I don't want to sound like a dick, or put you on the spot, I just came here to say that most people only see the potassium in wood ash / potash, and dump out the calcium waste. In fact a book I'm reading about "rebuilding society after an apocalypse" (or whatever pretentious bullshit) by Lewis Dartnell specifically talks about getting lime from seashells or limestone, then the next section is about burning wood for potassium, then he discusses using slaked lime to turn the potassium carbonates into hydroxides, and references the limestone / seashells again, despite the obvious available calcium from the ash of the wood and roasting the seashells / limestone (he implies using wood and charcoal for burning things instead of scavenged oil or gasoline).
but, yeah, different trees vary by composition and the internet isnt exactly credible, but www.google.com/search?q=wod+ash+composition+chemical&rlz=1C1GGRV_enUS799US799&oq=wod+ash+composition+chemical&aqs=chrome..69i57j33.5102j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
build yourself a nice little centrifuge
would be an awesome quarantine project
That's an upcoming project for my 3D printer 👍
Say, maybe you can make a video on turning a metal halide or mercury vapor light bulb into a UV-C disinfecting light that can kill all virus and bacteria in a room's surfaces in 5 minutes.
Love watching the crash out its always a good time
Thanks bud. I appreciate *ALL* of yer videos. ;-) ;-) Keep havin' fun and postin' cool stuff!
I used to make it at school during chemistry lessons as follows: Heat strongly pieces of white marble for about 5 minutes. When it cracks and give white light you stop.Now you have calcium oxide. CaCO3+heat=CaO + CO2. Then you add water. CaO +H2O= Ca(OH)2 +heat
5:48 Before I watch any further I just want to say I know the rest of the video is going to be about how gravity filtration did not work LOL. That shit is like trying to filter Clay
Thanks for including the brain fart in the edit. I think many of us have had similar incidents. At least that one was relatively minor, and nothing exploded.
As always cool stuff 👍
BUT I WANTED TO HEAR THE FIREWORKS RAMBLE. Podcast where you just ramble about science and chemistry, explaining how something we take for granted works (like colored fireworks, chemical purification of god-knows-what, etc)?
7:45 famous last words man. 😁
Good catch
Great video!
YOU NEED A BUCHNER FUNNEL to vacuum separate the CaOH and salt water.
The Büchner funnel will separate 95% of the salt water from the CaOH. Then you could wash the CaOH2 with boiling water to get the sodium out. You will loose some to the dissolving in the hot water but if the Büchner Funnel suction is strong it might be acceptable for purity. If not skip the wash.
LOL yeah I was going to say that aluminum foil might be an issue, cool video👍
You sound a lot like Kronk from The Emperors New Groove and i'm thoroughly enjoying it while learning more about chemistry
Aren't you leaving a lot of salt in your CaOH by cooking it vs vacuum filtration plus lots of washing?
I did several washings with DI water that I didn't bother showing on the video
Damn, that gordon ramsay impression was gold haha
What did the aluminum look like bu the time you had pulled the glass dish out of the oven.
Tooddaaaayyyyy...that's mean alot of information will come out..
impressive.. how you do it and explain it.
Cocain gives you laser focus! Lol thanks for the video sir. You’re a natural. Great personality and good information.
LMAO!!!!! Your videos crack me up. Keep up the good work!!!
New to channel thought I would step back to the beginning and do a little catch up and noticed that your first video was Making Calcium Hydroxide 6 years ago. Funny how we come full circle sometimes. Both good videos!
Yessir! That is a throwback!
I love your professional glass stir rod.
Is that wood glass?
Oh yes the highest grade of wood glass. Quite a rare commodity. The sad part is I have some huge borosilicate glass rods, and always forget I have them.
Mrs Wages pickling lime is in every Walmart I’ve been to. I use it as a calcium supplement in my reef tank, much cheaper than ‘kalkwasser’ at the aquarium supply.
Whoa! That's great to know! I will definitely be picking some up next time I'm in wally world. Thanks for the heads up.
You can get Kalkwasser, witch is high purity calcium hydroxide powder from Bulk Reef Supply pretty cheap. They are still shipping last i heard.
As soon as I heard you say aluminum and flash that text on the screen, I remembered my chemistry class when my science book warned me not to put HCl or lye on aluminum because it would eat the aluminum and make hydrogen gas.
If you have a furness thats not strongly reducing its pretty easy to make Ca(OH)2 from CaCO3 by decomposing the latter into CaO and CO2, and adding the remaining CaO to water. Its also more fun on that last step. :) You want to be careful if using glassware as the heat generated could cause it to crack. It's probably better to add CaO to excess water than the reverse, but one would still need to heed localized boiling / explosions.
That was a great video so damn funny at the end.
I suggest cold (like from the fridge) water for NaOH, especially in glass/boro containers. above a certain temp it starts dissolving the glass.
Ice works well.
Darn I was hoping to learn how to make it so I knew how to make calcium chloride in a pre industrial landscape.
Hey, at around 1:04 you said you were going to wash the Ca(OH)₂, did you cut that part out? Since the product itself is soluble in water, I was curious how you were going to wash it without impacting your yield too much. Did you use something other than water? Or just a small amount of ice cold water?
"MY GLASSWARE!!!"
Uh oh, someones's not getting any self-isolation sex for a while.
Just as a suggestion, how about using parchment paper in the bottom of the glass dish? I don't know anything about its reactivity, but parchment paper is often used in the oven at relatively high temperatures. This might save having to clean the glass dish? Just a thought. As usual, thanks for posting my friend! Love your videos!
aluminum foil in a container of drain cleaner is a fun combo try it sometime
Hey man, at least you caught it in time.
Is there a reason that you did not just bake chalk (CaCO3) to make CaO and then just add water to make CaOH?
Hmm...Hydrogen and high heat...I think that'd turn out just fine lol. Great video :)
Hi there I live in Australia and can’t get stump remover or potassium nitrate can you do a rocket engine similar to the sugar rockets that we can get the stuff for. Thanks
You said when mixing the individual components with water there would be heat generated but more so with the Sodium hydroxide. Instead of adding slowly, you mixed it all at once would it boil over or break the glass or what?
That unexpected reaction was pretty cool. Did you make katoite?
Can you post the pyrotechnics stuff you cut out?
Just so you know, Pyrex baking ware hasn't been borosilicate since some time in the '60s. If you look at the edge and see yellow it's borosilicate, if you see green or turquoise it's soda lime glass.
This is some ancient that I inherited when my grandparents passed. I'd think it's old enough to be the real deal
You can also tell by dropping it on the floor. Borosilicate breaks. The tempered glass they use nowadays explodes into 50 bazillion pieces.
Mexican grocery stores sell calcium hydroxide in the spice section.
The forbidden whipped cream
Does calcium hydroxide melt glass or sand like sodium hydroxide?
Oh my goodness, how that movie would have ended if he had done lines of this instead. "Say hello to my litt- AAAAAAHHHHHH! MY EYES ARE SOAP!!!!"
Yup huge messes are usually made. Worse ones can be avoided like you did by getting rid of the aluminum. Which would have been ironic had you not changed your mind because the foil was supposed to prevent a mess.
Love your videos. You somewhat remind me of Ave.
Could you grow borax crystals in a vacuum chamber and a pressure pot to see if they grow bigger crystals or smaller crystals.
Vaccuum filtration would work but I enjoy your demonstration bro
nice
Ahhh, I wanted to hear about the sodium contamination problem!
What happened to the pyrotechnics tangent?
I worked aerospace for many years yeah we used to chemically mill aluminum that stuffs going to react
Damn, that thumbnail made me thirsty for some milkshake
I wanted to hear more about sodium in pyrotechnics. Maybe a video idea
You crack me up.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solubility_table Calcium Hydroxide is only slightly soluble in water at 20C temperature (The solubility decreases with increasing temperature for Calcium Hydroxide), salt is really soluble in water. so as long as your water is really not 20C then you can dissolve the salt in lots of water while the Calcium Hydroxide remains solid so get a coffee filter like you did and keep pouring water over it making sure the water is not lower then 20C temperature at some point you should have completely pure Calcium Hydroxide that you can then dry. I would use 90C near boiling water. I would use a U shaped pipe with the desiccant poured in it that you can blow air threw it to dry it, put a nice filter over you that blow out end of your U Pipe so not to contaminate the Calcium Hydroxide with the desiccant, every one that's doing this has the desiccant damp rid and some might be underacted in it anyway, so I would use that one. I am not a chemist so, have not tried this, and do not accept any responsibility for your actions, that may or may not be based on a random internet comment you might have read.
ah, I see your starting to openly use my favorite type of comedy
Nice! I was just thinking about making this. Perfect timing. Thanks!
Bake lime stone cohort, just drop a little vinegar on rock formations made your home.
You need vacuum filtration for fine precipitates like this... Just set it on the vacuum and let it run for a while to dry everything out.
Great video only problem is you stir clockwise lol
you should make a centrifuge filter system
I have sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide...
Might be a dumb question; but can you make soap with calcium hydroxide?
Yes you can, and a lot of industrial soaps are made that way.
Very cool honestly I didn't know that they use Ca(OH)2 to make soap, only have every seen NaOH and KOH used.
Not a dumb question at all. Great question. Google brings up lots if you ask for "calcium soap".
Thanks for the responses you guys!!
Dude, dilute dilute dilute. Find a tall jar or 1L graduated cylinder or something. It isn't settling because it has settled lol. Since you haven't washed it, it's loaded with NaCl.
Obviously it dried in the oven with no issues, but I was wondering if a case could be made for using vacuum boiling in a pressure vessel to remove the water at a lower temp instead of standard boiling in the oven.
Vacuum dessication would certainly work as well 👍
Ayy guys. Where can i get calcium chloride ?
Nice tutorial! Some of my electroplating experiments produce a bit of chlorine gas. Would you do an article on gas scrubbing? (like maybe using sodium thiosulfate) Thanks,
You can scrub chlorine with a simple baking soda solution. Chlorine plus sodium bicarbonate makes sodium chloride and carbon dioxide. You'll also need water in that mix to provide the mediation hydrogen.
let me guess: chlorates or co2 scrubbers
Hmm, first time here, and I must say, interesting channel. We used to make calcium hydroxide when I was a kid by burning driveway limestone and then slaking it. I whitewashed many a shed with that stuff. Anyways, enjoyed the video.
Wait... Is that a genuine green healing mat on the top of your work surface?
7:17 looks like marengue :)
Why not use vacuum? I am thinking of the funnel apparatus that Nile Red is using all the time. I think the correct name is a Büchner funnel. That would get a lot of the water out.
Pyrex kitchenware hasn't been borosilicate for some time. It's now tempered glass. This is the subject of a lawsuit claiming false and misleading advertising and branding.
i liked the part about pyrotechnics :P
Force Dry, a Jedi chemist's greatest power.
Just enough beers!
How do you make the calcium chloride though? The dehumidifying things at the store are mixed with other stuff that makes it useless for drying wet solutions.
The 'damp rid' refill bag as I used in this video is pure CaCl2, nothing added. Great source for the stuff
This is the one I get. Unscented and no fillers amzn.to/39jAP3i
@@ElementalMaker Oh snap! The stuff at the store was mostly black crumbs. I'll have to look deeper online, as $22 for 42oz feels like an unwelcome sexual advance on my back pocket. Thanks for the tip!
@@buckstarchaser2376 I forget what it ran in Lowes for the bag, but I do think the price was better! That's what to look for though. I even use a few grams of it in my homebrew beer to add a little calcium, since I use RO water
@@ElementalMaker Cool. Thanks for the tips. I'm looking forward to the video that shows something to do with the Ca hydroxide. If you want a good beer, the best one I ever made was 2 Mr Beer Aztec kits in a 3gallon carboy. Absolutely amazing summer beer, and since it isn't skunked, it demonstrates what Corona would taste like if it wasn't garbage. It finished fermenting fast and smelled like lemony gram-cracker crust. I need to make some more now. :P
Not into chemistry but didn't you mention rinsing it a couple of times?
Does it bring all the boys to the yard?
I can buy a 50 LB. bag of Cal Hydroxide at the feed store as "TYPE H LIME" for $12.00 which is pure CAOH
A vacuum filtration system seems to be needed here
Unfortunately I tried in the past, and it just clogged my buchner funnel
I have the code working and the scale ran, but the e-match relay made problems and fried my last Arduino board and probably the scale IC. I want to do a complete test run and video of it first... to prove I am not some spam ;)
Could you have used parchment paper? Love learning new cool things from you.
That probably would have been a solid idea to use 👍
@@ElementalMaker well glad to help and your wife may appreciate it.
What about just roasting oyster shell? Wouldnt that be much easier? Or you could just use the arc welder / carbon rod to make calcium carbide, then add water to make calcium hydroxide.
Those are definitely other viable options 👍
ElementalMaker i will pay you on patreon or whatever if you test my idea of "from the land" sulfuric acid. I dont really have a place to try it.
My idea is to put coarse steel powder in a container of decomposing plant or animal matter , the steel will soon get a black coating of iron sulfide. ......
