Hobby Chemistry - Synthesis of Sodium Nitrate and Silver Chloride

[Hawkmson]

Interesting. Love the narration.

Ohhh, thank you so much!!! This is exactly what I was looking for!!!! Thank you a million (:

I make it with HNO3 and NaOH

[scienceman64]

If you have access to silver nitrate, why would you need to make sodium nitrate? And silver nitrate isn't exactly dirt cheap.

i was so surprised to hear the intro!

[spotlightman1234]

cool you get 2 useful chemicals in one experiment :3

Can i make a sodium nitrate with HNO3 and NaCl

NaCl + HNO3 ---> NaNO3 + HCL

[spotlightman1234]

@EasyChemistry nope. Actually HCl and NaNO3 react to form nitric acid and sodium chloride.

The silver chloride should be a truly white precipitate. Yours is yellow. The table salt contains some potassium iodide which, when mixing with the AgNO3 formed silver iodide, a yellow precipitate. You shouldn't use table salt for this experiment.

And, another thing, when you want to extract both the precipitate and the substance that is dissolved above it in a synthesis, you must be really careful about what quantities you add. You must also calculate this very carefully.

[YdeckW]

Seeing as you used NaCl with impurities and you didn't tell us the quality of your AgNO3, this is achieved really difficultly. This would mean that you can have either some AgNO3 left in solution or some NaCl in excess in the solution. I would rather recommend just to stick with the precipitate synthesis, because under your possibilities, you cannot do a good synthesis of NaNO3.

buckethead i think this one is called jordan ( my name XD)

[JordansBeans]

@SwirlyNut me too!

Sorry if you already answered this, i was only half paying attention. Is there an easy way for me to get ahold of Silver Nitrate? I'd rather not order it off the internet partly because i'm impatient and partly because i'd have to get a parent to do it for me.

Little bit expensive, isn't it? :-)

nice vid to!

[HobbyChemistry]

Thanks!

Buckethead!!!

Hehe, :P
