IT'S REACTING WITH THE AIR!!!

[KewneRain]

One thing I tend to notice, aside from the the obvious reactions, is the optical qualities of liquids. Things made from metals dissolved by nitric acid seem to have a reflective quality to them when they're in glass containers. Is there any special reason for this?

[killbilly701]

im gonna use this stuff to put in my hampesters feed so i can make my hampster take shits the sise of a dumpster on my grandmas ass drip of sweat cock

[shawnio]

you should start these videos "hello fellow terrorists" cuz you know thats exactly whos watching your videos

[guhanable]

@shawnio LOL! hez the leader!

[k0namiman]

@shawnio Yes, science and chemistry is NOT the purview of good, ignorant 'murricans, sicence and chemistry is for TERRORISTS. The only use the average non-military, non 1% man on the street would have for expanding their horizons is TERRORISM.

Now, don't wet your bed too fast... But they are teaching things like this IN OUR SCHOOLS!

TERRORISM!

[DactaDork]

Could we use this same process for the rest. Of the rare earths?

[NitroEthanol]

wait a sec , do Dy and nitric acid produce laughing gas?

[wouter1988]

@NitroEthanol: Hint: laughing gas is not red in color...

[prankmakers95]

can some one tell me what 10mL conc. (15.6M) nitric acid: means?

[wouter1988]

@prankmakers95: that's 10 milliliters of 15.6 molar (mol/liter) nitric acid.

[prankmakers95]

@wouter1988 so molar means lite molar = liter?

[purplemutantas]

@prankmakers95 Mole is a unit of mass. Do a youtube search for 'mole'. That should explain things. If I am not mistaken, 15.6 molar nitric acid has a mass of 15.6 moles per liter of liquid. I just started learning about moles today, so someone please correct me if I am wrong.

[prankmakers95]

@wouter1988 so molar means liter molar = liter?

[chemicalwarfare224]

im guessing the $1000 chemical was a platinum based chemical

[Almontmarine]

how much does the 2.5g europium cost?

[coolliger]

Can anything else be used to wash off the mineral oil?

[ecj314]

@NurdRage How much europium nitrate were you able to obtain from your 2.5g sample of metal?

[starseed1337]

if you dont know , you shouldn't be attempting thiis , its a chemist measurement unit.

[TheChemkid]

what does 15.6M mean

[thewiseowl]

@TheChemkid 15.6moldm^-3

Or the maximum conc. of nitric acid that can be obtained by distillation before it forms an azeotrope with water.

[japanesepoptart]

M stands for molar or the molarity of a solution. it's how chemists measure concentration. For instance, a 1 molar solution has 1 mole of dissolved material for every 1000 mililiters of water. so, 15.6 molar nitric acid has 15.6 moles of nitrogen dioxide for every liter of water.

[xXschoschiXx]

@japanesepoptart 15.6 moles of nitric acid it's HNO3 not NO2

also you calculate with 1000ml of fluid/acid not water

[japanesepoptart]

@xXschoschiXx

1.f you dissolve NO2, you get nitric acid.

2. no, you don't. if you have 1 mol of NaOH, and dissolve it in 1000ml of water, you get a 1 molar NaOH solution.

it's no different for acids, except that it's usually a gas that's being dissolved.

[xXschoschiXx]

@japanesepoptart

the anhydrous form of nitric acid is N2O5. N2O5 + H2O -> 2 HNO3.

BUT you will also get nitric acid if you dissolve NO2 in the presence of oxygen in water. 4 NO2 +O2 + 2 H2O --> 4HNO3.

If you were right how can you make 18.6 molar sulfuric acid (~100%)?

by mixing 18.6 Mol of H2S04 with 1000ml of water ...

[wouter1988]

@xXschoschiXx

NO2 + H2O = HNO3. However, when nitric acid is reduced, it releases NO gas. This is readily oxidized by atmospheric oxygen. Dissolving NO gas in water theoretically would yield nitrous acid. Adding oxygen consequently oxidizes the nitrous acid to nitric acid.

[vmelkon]

@TheChemkid It means the number of moles in 1 L of water. That tells you how many HNO3 molecules you have per 1 L. Of course, the HNO3 is completely dissociated into H+ and NO3-.

[tommy200401]

The main point is how to find and buy Eu and Dy...(and their corresponding price...)

[chemistryplan]

What happend because you said that you learned it the hard way of putting labels on the vials?

[toix48]

when you said to lable the products carfully you alos said i had to learn it the hard way what was the hard way

[NurdRage]

I mislabeled a $1000 chemical and it got tossed out with the trash.

[napolitanka12]

@NurdRage wht chemical? and with wht did u mislabeled it?

[1999AudiAvant]

I'm curious what chemical? Great videos by the way :-)

[freakin1random]

@NurdRage i made thermite once, copper thermite, looked like graphite, so i threw it in our fire out of its bottle. lol. THAT was suprising. And yes, im okay, it was very little.

[KnexGod03]

@NurdRage What was that chemical?

[HowToHacks90]

@NurdRage Sucks.

[MartinsMsaxe]

@NurdRage

What chemical was it?

[TheTecGuy25]

@NurdRage dang what chemical can cost $1,000 cd. what it platnium oxide or gold chloride silver nitrate

[91770158]

@NurdRage what is the '$1000' chemical?

[dmn513c]

@NurdRage i figured you almost blew your self up.. lol

[Blinkwing]

@NurdRage which chemical was it?

[GTHaroFITBMX]

@NurdRage o dang!

[oDANGANYTHANGELSEo]

Are you a teacher at a school that likes to have awesome experiments, or someone that has experience and does this as a hobby?

[Brandeena233]

"The hard way" "Oh no! You've been exposed to radiation, and a mutated hand has grown out of your stomach! What's the best course of treatment?" Fallout 3 reference. Great video as usual.

[kwibjo123456789]

@Brandeena233

I chose a bullet to the head :P

[Brandeena233]

@kwibjo123456789 Looks like the vault is getting a new fry-cook lol

[pwn0grapher]

Hey Nurd Rage your videos are awesome but can you tell me how to purify the nitric acid to exactly 15.6 moles? You said in the other video that you can't predict the exact molarity, so are there certain procedures I can follow to ensure the required molarity? Thanks.

[NurdRage]

15.6 molar is the concentration of the nitric acid and water azeotropic you obtain from fractional distillation.

so if you purify your acid by fractional distillation then it will automatically be 15.6 molar.

[kno3rocks]

whats a mor

[LinkyZ]

Hello Nurdrage,

My disprosium and europium nitrate are drying in the famous dessicater bag.

I'm really impatient to see your next experiments.

Thanks alot for your nice work and all the time you spend trying to release the knowledge for chemistry nerds.

[mrmeowmix2300]

Now Im curious about how you learned your lesson the hard way!

[kyknab]

@ Nurd Rage

are dysprosium nitrate and europium nitrate

dangerous

[TripleX2go]

kewl video.

[LegallyMoi]

Are you from Canda?

[LegallyMoi]

Could you do a video of your own favorite explosive elements that aren't pottasium or sodium? By the way your videos are awsome.

[LegallyMoi]

Could you do a video telling us why pottasium and sodium explode in water?

[NurdRage]

@legallymoi

also already lots of video that.

[AlphaMaleRyan]

@LegallyMoi they explode because the electrons are rapidly stripped of the atom

[vmelkon]

@AlphaMaleRyan sodium and potassium explode probably because they get hot enough that they melt and disperse in the water causing a very rapid reaction that boils the water and perhaps detonates the hydrogen.

[japanesepoptart]

@LegallyMoi

They explode in water because they want to loose the electron on their outer shell really really badly. the atoms also puurposly hold the electron far away from the nucleus, so it can easily be nicked off. when the electron is nicked off, the atoms become ionized and combine with hydroxide ions to form their respective hydroxides. what's left is hydrogen, and a whole butt load of energy; usually enough to ignite the hydrogen, setting off a whole new reaction.

[AZMALING]

@LegallyMoi Potassium and Sodium are Alkali metals. They have 1 electron, and they would do anything to give away that electron, thus, their high reactivity, thus when the are added in water, they explode.

[LegallyMoi]

Can you send me the links to the videos?

[NurdRage]

@legallymoi

Just type "sodium in water" and "potassium" in water in youtube search, Lots and LOTS of videos.

[LegallyMoi]

You should so a video on the effects of pure sodium and pottasium in water and the power of it. Isn't it true that if you remove the pottasium from a bannana and make it solid that you would have enough to blow up a brick wall.

[NurdRage]

@legallymoi

already lots of video on that reaction. I don't think i can do a better job.

[FAZER00432]

Yet another Awesome Video, I love these videos, so informative, great for chemists, i mainly use my knowledge of chemistry for pyrotechnics.

Mainly 2 and 3 burst "flower" shells.

[Kryptic8900]

Do these compounds crystallize out as hydrates?

[Kryptic8900]

oops, just read the description...

[scprior88]

What was the "hard way"?

[NurdRage]

@scprior88

I didn't properly label a $1000 chemical that then got tossed out with the trash.

[xxMadBomberxx]

NURD!!!! RAGE!!!!

[David697]

You said you learned to label your chemicals the hard way. Is there an interesting story behind that you'd care you to share?

[xGhettoTeamx]

Um why do you use that voice?????

is that your real voice if so sorry but if its not why do you use it?????????

[LegallyMoi]

@xGhettoTeamx Because some things he does are dangerous to irresponsible people and he doesn't want people to trace him and also some chemistry things can be secret sometim,es and he doesn't want people to know it's actually him.

[japanesepoptart]

@LegallyMoi

another point is that people tend to overreact when they discover you have these chemicals. (especially in america) for instance, hardware stores used to sell a 10% solution of nitric acid for treating wood. now they don't, because they think you're going to make explosives. (even though you'd be hard pressed to go through the work of making the nitrate, you end up with an "explosive" that probably isn't even that powerful.)

[miesrah12]

isn't eruopium radioactive? you should have added that you are using radioactive metals in the warning

[NurdRage]

@miesrah12

no

[miesrah12]

@Nurd rage

oops, i gess i got mixed up on another element

byt where did you get your chemistry lessons

[PEA1222]

Europium is a lantanide and the only radioactive lanthanide is Promthium.

[gtvenom11420]

omfg I love your voice

[atomicnerd7334]

what can you do with cerium nitrate, dyprosium nitrate and samarium nitrate?

atomicnerd7334

[NurdRage]

@atomicnerd7334

hmmm... i give up. What can you do? :)

[atomicnerd7334]

:( oh but is samarium nitrate hygroscopic?

[TzerMaan]

I have a question, Is nitrogen dioxide poisonous ? Can it be used? or it is merely a waste?

[SatansMullet]

the HARD WAY? jesus do i even want to know what the hard way was? it sounds painful for some odd reason lol

[SatansMullet]

nevermind, i read all the comments lol. i seen what happened.. it still sounds very painful tho so i was right (just wallet/bank account painful not burning or something) lol sorry about that!

[tashi37]

cool stuff

[KougsMotors454]

very interesting!, 5/5 stars,

im going to guess that the Eu and Dy nitrates are going to be used to make some sort of fluorescent or phosphorescent mixture in the next vid, cant wait to see it , ive heard that fluorescent lamps use phosphors that contain Eu, Tb, and other rare earths

[mts0628]

What about using a side arm flask with a funnel, rubber stopper and filter paper, and all hooked up as vacuum filtration? Would this be as effective as a desiccator bag?

[danagol1985]

I dont think so, I believe these substances absorb moisture from the air. I think it actually needs to be exposed to dry air for a long period of time.

Watch the dessicator bag video - It explains this well.

[mts0628]

I watched the video but in my undergraduate classes to earn my BA in Chemistry and my BS in Biochemistry, we never used a desiccator bag. We did use vacuum filtration extensively in Physical and Inorganic Chemistry and I used it seemingly ad nauseum in my lab working for a Chemist. I was just wondering because Vacuum filtration would remove the water quickly and without contamination and the overall setup is country simple.

[Chemateur]

Vacuum filtration doesn't work with aqueous substances like the one in the video because the aqueous solution gets filtered through right along with the water. Filter funnels are used to remove water from precipitates, but these chemicals are too hygroscopic to precipitate on their own, thus a dessicator bag is needed.

[mts0628]

Ah ha! That was the kind of answer I was looking for. Thanks Chemateur.

[Chemateur]

You're welcome :)

[dudomaniac]

You are going to make europium doped strontium aluminate? I'll be watching anyway :-) .

[Guitar0wner]

GENIUS!!!

[riko68]

You rule guys!

[snedie69er]

I love watching your video, but I have to ask...What is with the voice masking?

[MrGhengar]

because they cant have people finding out who they are. especially if they work for a company due to there being rules. that or maybe they just dont want all of youtube knowing who they are.

[mikeporterinmd]

In this world full of liability, I can understand. The "chemistry" set that I got for my daughter was very lame compared to what I got when I was a kid. With hers, I do not think there is any possible way to get hurt, most likely including outright eating the chemicals. We tried to make it more fun by heating the mixtures for more punch, and finding stronger acids in the house. Hot orange worked well :-)

[snedie69er]

I fail to see how masking your voice hides your identity on the internet...

[Grundalizer]

yeah it's just annoying

[MrGhengar]

wow thats sad how you dont realize that

[snedie69er]

Please feel free to explain the methodology behind finding a persons identity from a low quality youtube video with no data for comparison?

[MrGhengar]

when he first started doing these videos he got asked that question all the time. hey why do you mask your voice and he said BECAUSE I DONT WANT PEOPLE TO FIND OUT WHO I AM. SO OBVIOUSLY HE MASKS HIS VOICE FOR A REASON BECAUSE IF HE DIDNT THEN HE PROBABLY WOULDNT BE ABLE TO MAKE SAID VIDEOS. Goddamn are people really as fucking clueless as you. nah dude he masks his voice cause it sounds cool.

[habbopassload]

Hey nurdrage,

The site there only sells 5Gram europium metal.

Should i scale the amount of chemical needed up?

[NurdRage]

@habbopassload

i cut my piece in half and saved the rest.

but if you want that much europium nitrate then go for it as you say by doubling the chemicals.

The upcoming experiments don't use very much europium nitrate so only make that much if you have other uses for it.

[Uliustulius]

Hello NurdRage, thanks for another cool video :)

I have few questions for You:

1.Where do you work (or where are you doing these experiments)

2.What do you work?

3.What is your qualification?

[AgentCROCODILE]

Is this going to be used in the "kryptonite" project?

[NurdRage]

This part of project kryptonite

[OrganicWebhead]

You labels are awesome, i wanna learn how to do them =)

[mikeporterinmd]

The "Brother" P-Touch series labels work pretty nice. I got one of their better units on sale, but they have less expensive ones. However, they are take the same TZ series tapes, so I assume they all print as nicely. Not as nice as the one in the video, though.

[10mintwo]

whoa! what's happening at 0:21???! thermoluminescence?

[sciencoking]

looks like some weird redox reaction...

we´ll see :-)

[bamboo4tameshigiri]

Are we ever going to see you make hydrazonium nitrate?

[silverblotter]

THANK YOU FOR THIS NEW VID MAN !!!

[arckon09]

what did you learn to learn teh hard way that labeling things is important? what happened?

[NurdRage]

@arckon09

I mislabelled a $1000 chemical and lost it.... XD

[madew92]

What was this 1000$ chemical? D:

A bit pricey for a chemical, no? haha

i know i wouldn't be happy if i misplaced a chemical at a price like that!

Nice tutorial. 5*

[arckon09]

no kidding, did it come out of your wallet?

[tinylittlesun]

make a video showing a reaction with francium hahahaha

[Frresh123]

Hey NurdRage,

Can u make a video about the reactivity of the rare earth metals with the reactions with water? this would be very cool

[warhawkpro]

I LOVE your vids man!!! keep em coming!!!

[milotickz]

So that was the "kryptonite" project you were talking about! Which nitrate turns green, may I ask? The dysprosium or europium?

[The0Burger0King]

awesome! cant wait for your next video!

[joouyang]

This is gonna be exciting!

[ENINNALP]

too expensive

[Hlaford347]

Welcome to Science.

[ENINNALP]

wasn't Talking to You, don't Reply to Me.

[EinYamakasi]

If you post in a public forum, expect to have the public respond to you.

[ENINNALP]

STFU and go away twat

[sciencoking]

he´s right.

[ENINNALP]

STOP, I can't fix it

[Hlaford347]

Can't fix what? Your anger? I was just making a comment on the fact that nearly everything in science is expensive if you want a decent result.

[ENINNALP]

my anger? that juice affect your ability to read gas head? I DO NOT want people reply to my comments. Why are you getting so anabolic? You know so much about science... but you can't even read. Is it cause of the roid rage barry bonds? whats that, a deck injection? too much muscle on your brain?

[AgentCROCODILE]

@ENINNALP: If you do not want people to reply to your comments do not post them in a public forum in the first place.

Grow up and learn to post your comments on Youtube with the expectation that somebody may possibly see it and reply.

[ENINNALP]

STOP replying to my messages this is not a forum and is against youtube rules. STOP

[AgentCROCODILE]

@ENINNALP: Stop acting like a twat and grow up. It is not against Youtube rules to reply to other peoples' comments. Otherwise that functionality wouldn't be there in the first place.

In any case I'll let someone else spoonfeed you since you are clearly a troll.

[ENINNALP]

STOP replying to my messages and stop sending me your nasty message. I've said this 8 times already. STOP harassing me!

STOP it already.

[NASTEfilms]

lol

[toastbrottoaster]

what happened when you had to learn this "the hard way" ?

[Iwantedtoknow16802]

well just a guess but I'd wager something bad lol.

[Valendros]

When it comes to Chemistry, it could have been very bad. I'm pretty curious too LOL

[dragonridley]

Billy was a chemist,

But billy is no more.

For what he though was H2O

Was H2SO4.

[mobius1ace5]

sulfuric acid FTW!!!!!

[Camdor5]

after not labeling something it could have produced a gas that He may have inhaled and gave him that kick ass deep voice, just a hypothesis but not entirely based in a falsity

[puppystomper324]

Wow u r really really dumb he dosent wanna use his voice thats y he dosent show his face u dont have to be a scientist to know that

[Camdor5]

Its a joke...don't people apreciate humor any more

[sciencoking]

well, i do... nice one ^^

[kwibjo123456789]

can you tell me when the new movies are coming out?

[renatadevin]

This seems FUN

toxic gases wooh

[jam342]

wooh

[Qtmas]

cool, but can you substitute something else for the toluene?
