Metals+Hydrochloric acid

[aidandavitt]

is hydrogen gas the technical word for bubbles?

[BuschTukkerMan]

You can also marinate a steak in it ahha:)

[bulletshotfromgun]

Sci-fi question so the Xenomorphs(or Alien from the movie Alien) this Acid is the same as their blood?

[mrgerminaro]

i been learnin about science and chemistry is what im thinkin of next even tho i already graduated that hydrocloric acid just tore threw that lithium lol

[Starcraft88888]

No hood and no gloves? I hereby revoke your license to do chemistry.

[Ecdub984]

if i used sodium with some HCl do u think i would be able to use the salt for like eating? i mean sodium chloride is normal salt, right?

[sciencoking]

@Ecdub984 Yes, and in fact I have even done that myself with concentrated hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide beads. i was even going to put it on youtube, but the footage was shit. It took me more than an hour to get the pH right. You have to be incredibly careful, but it works just fine.

[MrC10H15N]

where did you get Hydrochloric acid?

[RidzRSBuddy]

Why would you put your physics homework on the table when doing chemistry?

[sciencoking]

@RidzRSBuddy I don't know - I was too lazy to put it away, I guess.

[Chemkid77]

It's not suprising copper won't dissolve copper only dissolves in nitric acid.

[poofnsauce]

@Chemkid77 yep that's one of the reason it's used so much in electronics (even though silver, and other metals are more conductive) it's the hardest to tarnish for the price.

[GerryRich100]

Copper doesn't react because it's less reactive than hydrogen so it doesn't displace it.

[tifialf]

@GerryRich100 Copeprt can be definetrly more interesting. If you leave copper in HCl for one hour or more you would see that the solution turns pale yellow, as in the latter video before reacting with Lithium. The reaction of copper with HCl can be sped up saturating conc. HCl with sodium chloride. The yellow-green color is explained by complex ions as [CuCl4]2-. In the same way copper could react very slowly also in salt vinegar.

[tifialf]

@GerryRich100 You could add this coloured reaction in your video slowing down your filming rate. If you add your pale yellowish solution in water you get a green colour and then a blue color, depending on how many chloride ions have been substituted by water molecules in the complex. Adding ammonia to it, you'll get a turquoise precipitate and then, with an excess of ammonia, a beautiful deep blue solution.

[GerryRich100]

Imagine putting a piece of Caesium in that.

[utube8353]

How concentrated is the HCl?

[sciencoking]

@utube8353 11 moles/l or 34%

[utube8353]

@sciencoking Thank ye.

[khou034]

lol if it was pure hc acid it would burn through the glass

[Kage999]

@0:17 It is hydrochloricepitomicfrutopican­estheticmonthermalnucularsubat­omic beryllium 12

[olegario39]

why not splash that acid on Bieber's face?

[Justins1877]

Thank you for the very interesting video, Coking. When the gases are released, do they pose harm to you? If so what precautions do you take?

[sciencoking]

@Justins1877 The only gases released in significant amounts are hydrogen, steam and evaporating hydrogen chloride. The latter is in fact harmful to me (and anything with a metallic surface), but I get rid of it very quickly by just opening the window for a while.

[funkgerat]

Isn't sodium chloride illegal?

[sciencoking]

@appleperson101 Sure, but the amounts released are too low to pose a threat to me.

[crazy9516]

you seem to know your stuff but you need to work on your safety a girl i know is blind because she stuck her face over a beaker while working with acid... it splashed on her face blinding her and scarring her eyeball

[sciencoking]

@crazy9516 Oh god, I fell sorry for her.... I guess you're right, even if I know what I'm doing, it might give me a false feeling of safety. I almost killed myself about 5 times already, I have to be more careful. But you have to admit, I kept a distance from the beaker in this video (except for my hand, which is not all that sensitive towards hydrochloric acid and the bathroom is just 2 meters away)

[shetalkscrazytalk]

Since the poster didn't mention this, I will: DO NOT TRY AT HOME. HYDROCHLORIC ACID IS A DANGEROUS CHEMICAL, WHICH CAN CAUSE NOXIOUS GASES AND EXPLOSIONS.

[sciencoking]

@shetalkscrazytalk I expect the viewers of this video to be educated enough to know this. If they don't, it's their own fault and problem. But thank you for pointing it out anyway!

[Jack61697]

Better be careful, should have done this outside those gases are TOXIC

[ayenab7]

Is water produced when the acid reacts with oxyegen on aluminium?

[sciencoking]

@ayenab7 Yes, two H+ ions react with one oxide ion (O2-) forming a neutral water molecule.

[Roweanos212]

My chemistry teacher acciently got sulfuric acid spilled on him and melted his whole pantleg and made his socks look like swiss cheese

[AlCapwn0]

Glass is mostly silicon, I think, and silicon has 6 or 5 valence electrons( can't remember which) so it is not reactive much at all.

[christopher1998robin]

Very danger"rooooz", it melts my body, for them!!!

[TheTallMan35]

Hmm. so this stuff dissolves certain metals but does no damage to the glass beaker that it's contained in. Very interesting.

[sciencoking]

@BabiiuaGalaao582 wHaT tHe fUcK aM i sUpPoSeD tO dO aBoUt tHaT ?!

[labmaster49]

To dissolve copper you need to put a piece in nitric acid

[NungaNunga12]

Wait, since the zinc dissolves but the copper does not, can I make a hollow penny??

[electricmic]

I was hoping to hear the exciting explosive bang. The music soundtrack is not important. It detracts from your interesting content.

[Gta2CubanPete]

try the aluminium metal with HCl again, but add also before you do a little copper(II)sulfate in the HCl. i read it will give nice blue flames. :)

[bargindead]

umm those metals dont produce toxic fumes right . . .

[sciencoking]

@bargindead No, just hydrogen.

[flamingscale]

does zinc steam when put into the HCl?

[sciencoking]

@flamingscale The reaction heats the solution up so much that it starts to boil, that's why =)

[aangelo4]

can any body tell me what happens when calcium reacts with hydrochloric acid

[sciencoking]

@aangelo4 it fizzes and gets warm.

[cashdaddyg]

@aangelo4 well in plain water calcium floats on the waperised water (becorse of heat)

Sometimes calcium explode when I put it in water.

HCl should make the reation go faster...so more dangerous:)

[RSxxx1300]

how concentrated is that hydrochloric acid??

[ihateallschools]

song?

[gogo311]

You were holding Lithium with your bare hands!

[sciencoking]

@gogo311 That is correct.

[gogo311]

@sciencoking Yes, when you have dry fingers..

[TheMexOfAmerica]

@sciencoking what a badass O.O

[96515325]

WDF are you sure you are using concentrated HCL? cos it is kinda stupid to do that. Diluted HCL will be enough.

[sciencoking]

ofc, but not as reactive.

[2t22tornadosiren]

Are you a chemistry student or a nut? You could kill yourself or blow up the neighborhood doing this.

wtf do not mess with hydrochloric acid unless you want death

[Retard0800]

@2t22tornadosiren you are retarded.

[mcuznae]

hey ma ne frage . wie heisst das lied ???

[sciencoking]

Kraftwerk - Expo 2000 :-)

[mcuznae]

@sciencoking

danke und was für ein thema hatter ihr da  in physik ??

[sciencoking]

Entropie, so weit ich mich erinnere

[XSandCreeperX]

where did u get lithium?

[some5672]

why was the lithium moist? 

[soundspark]

@some5672 It was stored in oil so it wouldn't react with the oxygen or water in the air.

[beefptty]

that flame is sick

[Ivanlamperouge]

Hi, I'm making a project and I would like to know if iron react in HCL. Please answer, thank you

[sciencoking]

It does, it's a bit slow but eventually it will dissolve.

[techhax0rz]

dude throw something cool in there klike your finger!!!

[Rasverix82]

cool

[jucaba06]

Awesome way to show reactions with differents metals, please use proteccion to avoid breath toxics smell, we dont want our favourite scientis would suffer any damage.

[darksideofthebrick13]

cadmuim is carcinogenic be very careful and use gloves. also when reacting it, use a fumehood

[nicko2444]

not as kool as i thort it would be but still kool.

[omgiamdrunked1]

i see a lot of people in another videos are trying to react Copper with HCl also and of course nothing happens bec copper is below Hydrogen in the electro chemical series so it won't react under normal conditions but nice video by the way

[whatshisface620]

horrible music barney is better:(

[tonymengela]

the lithium most likely reacted the the water content of the hcl as lithium is highly reactive to water

[Lavabug]

If Lithium oxidized that quickly, imagine a chunk of Caesium in that HCl...

[sciencoking]

Yes, that would be nice =)

But the cesium reacts so quickly , even with water, that you won't notice anything but a *bang* and some cesium hyperoxide smoke...

[freakin1random]

@Lavabug lithium is actually more reactive than caesium, it's just not a violent reaction like the others.

[1961arnie]

ok i understand

[weaver2109]

Hmm, I wonder how sodium would react with HCl. It's in the same group as lithium.

[martinlarsen20]

ever drink muriatic acid for fun ?

[vmelkon]

@martinlarsen20 our stomach is full of it so it should be good for you.

[sciencoking]

...at an appropriate concentration, you're right! =)

[TheAGSproductions]

I would really hate to mistaken that stuff for water X_X

[esparcia7]

@TheAGSproductions You'd smell the difference I suppose :P

[XXCents]

Nice ! now do it again with more stuff and Fluoroantimonic Acid ! :D

[sciencoking]

x_x

like what? methane will make an actually impossible compound called methonium... the rest would probably just go BANG, including the glass :P

[milotickz]

Looks like lithium disappears right when it contacts the HCl.

[1961arnie]

i know hydrogen don't burn hot could a small amout of o2 be added with out and explosion

[1961arnie]

why can't they use this to make hydrogen gas.

[sciencoking]

Because this method would be far more expensive than electrolysis.

[kuro96inlaila]

I think hcl is'nt beautiful enough to attract attention from copper...... :)

[april76301]

lol one time i had some hydrochloric acid i got a cell phone i didnt use any more and i put it in a really big bottle at first the plastic melted while smoking then it ate through most after 15 minutes after i got it out i was wtf happened too you lol it was screwed up bad

[MrPowazza]

does anyone know what the particle diagram for HCI+magnesium is im rly stuk on ma science coursework...

[tjinga2u1]

i can see making a hydrochloric acid bomb. O.O thankx for the vid im going to take chemistry when i get to high school now =D

[TheSinglish]

@tjinga2u1 There is a simpler "diet coke and mentos" solution to that. There is also the dry ice bomb, which is a lot more dangerous. I suggest the diet coke bomb. Buy a bottle of the stuff, add mentos and quickly screw back. Remember to throw well.

[tmc200922]

isn't concentrated HCl around 37%? What's the molarity of it?

[sciencoking]

On the bottle it says 35%, but i think some of it escaped anyway, so i´d say 32% is more likely. concentrated is in fact 37% rather than 32, but for what I do it doesnt matter anyway ^_^

[corto267]

does the aluminium and zinc completely dissolve?

[sciencoking]

it takes a while for the oxide layers to dissolve completely, but yes, after like a minute, youre left with a completely clear solution (unless you have some heavy metal that makes colored salts, of course)

[fLowKnows]

Where did you get the HCl from?

[sciencoking]

hardware store.

some even sell it concentrated

[fLowKnows]

Thanks. What percentage HCl was your solution?

[sciencoking]

32% -> concentrated :D

[flipvideographer]

Dude, the one with aluminum is so freakin cool!!! it like dissolves as soon as u put it in there!!! makes me feel dangerous! ;)

[brajac100]

copper does react with HCL but very very very slowly the result is copper chloride wich is very toxic and thermal decomposetion results in a very bad smelling fumes

[chemistryplan]

Love the music really interesting 5 stars

[youngeagle14]

0:41, always be careful with acids. DUH!

[samharrison14]

did most of this at school and all i can say is dont get too much acid on your hands OW! tastes bad lol

[verastaki]

Thats cool man!

[flavocachata]

Loved the " :D "

[MafiaMan979]

The only acid that can dissolve copper is Nitric Acid.

[imaqtlolz]

duh

[MafiaMan979]

duh

[youngeagle14]

duh

[discaras]

@MafiaMan979 no sulfuric acid dissolves copper too...

[ultrachemist77]

awesome!!!5stars

[Knightphall]

Name of song, please? XD

[sciencoking]

KRAFTWERK - EXPO2000 :-)

[Knightphall]

Thanks!

[MrArguementative]

Dry ice, hot water , pop-top bottle, and lots and lots over running time

[vitorix24]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OL

POTASSIUM!

ah! you have only a bit of cadmium? i have 2 Kg +/- and its reacts with nitic acid and copper sulfate.. :D

[sciencoking]

where the fucking hell did you get 2 kilograms of that!? o.O

and what the fuck do you need that for?? >.>

[vitorix24]

LOL

my

[vitorix24]

my father and my grandfather are

Goldsmith

This metal used to harden the gold: D

Ah its very expensive

I've mercury :1L cust about 1230€ =D

[sciencoking]

wow o.O

mercury is cool stuff...

it´s a shame that most cool chemicals are poisonous as hell :(

[flarn2006]

That's the reason some chemicals are cool. ;-) lol

[vitorix24]

lol

[sciencoking]

hehe, yeah... it gets kinda boring if you know that nothing can happen to you....

no risk, no fun, right? ;D

[vitorix24]

yap

[woollster00]

Why am i watching this i ask myself

[Kullen64]

LOL ur vids remind me of my science teacher, Oh how much I loved her :)

[sciencoking]

thanks :-)

[Kullen64]

No problem.

[flashsn1pe]

hehe for school i get to do this

[sciencoking]

lol, well, actually i made this vid to repeat what we did in chemistry that day for my friends xD

[flashsn1pe]

cool

[flarn2006]

lol you spelled aluminum wrong

[sciencoking]

nope, i didn´t. It IS called aluminium

[ritzbitzfei]

LOL, it's actually "aluminum" that's wrong.

[icecremer]

both are right (in diferent languages though) and in english you can spell both

[ritzbitzfei]

Oh, 'kay. Forgive me my ignorance :D

[chao129]

the copper will react with the HCl if you add a nitrate salt. it actually works like nitric acid, giving off nitrogen dioxide, which you can bubble through water to make your own nitric acid. also, where did you get the vanadium?

[sciencoking]

yep, i tried that, it filled my room with NO2 o.O

i didn´t expect the reaction to last that long...

i then put the beaker outside, where it contaminated my neighbors xD

[cdl81596]

vanadium samples are pretty cheap on about 30 bucks or so for about 50 grams off of most chemical suppliers

[bionerd23]

das aaaarme schoeeene Li -_-

aber geiles video, besonders das mit dem anzuenden. ^_^

mach mal mit Salpeter- und Schwefelsaeure, damit ich weiss wie das ist. ^_^

[sciencoking]

DUUU wirst über mein nächstes video staunen! ich lade es heute noch hoch!

[obigc]

use Al powder next time ;-)

10g Al + 20 ml HCl

But be careful. the reaction is very hot and you should take a BIG test-tube ;-)

[sciencoking]

omg, aluminium powder!

hmmm maybe i should make a bomb out of this...

a bottle of HCl and a little glass ampule with Al in it...

throw it at a wall...

and if you´re a badass, glue a burning piece of paper or something to the bottle harhar brb lol

[Rabadapp]

Gut gemacht! Wo haste das Lithium her?!

[sciencoking]

war ein geschenk von meinem chemielehrer :D

(so wie etwa 15 von meinen elementen, darunter platin und antimon!)

[Rabadapp]

hmmmmm.... *wütendwerd* xD du glückspilz

[sciencoking]

Aus Lithiumbatterien lässt sich ne beachtliche Menge lithium rauskriegen.

Einfach aufschneiden und abrollen. Das lithium und die elektrolyte sind nicht explosiv, nur giftig :P

Video darüber folgt!

[Rabadapp]

alt3r ich weiss das des net explosiv is xD xD xD

[sciencoking]

ey.... schon mal nen überladenen LiPO akku gesehn? die sind richtig funny...

[antiswattt]

2:07 does zinc make hydrogen and oxygen, or does the hydrogen just mix with the air?

what about magnesium?

you can get lithium from energizer lithium batteries (; watch NurdRages video about it

[sciencoking]

Zn + 2 HCl -> ZnCl2 + H2

Magnesium is a good idea, i think i´ll make a second video about this anyway, then i´ll show magnesium.

[antiswattt]

so it doesnt produce hydrogen :( do you know how i can put hydrogen and oxygen into a balloon wihout making oxygen.. do you think it will work if i blew a bit in a balloon and then putted in on some hydrogen producing thing? (:

[sciencoking]

dude H2 is fucking hydrogen!

it doen´t produce oxygen if you mean that....

The very easiest way to put a perfect mixture of hydrogen and oxygen (BAAANG) is watching my new hydrigen videos in which i use SODIUM HYDROXIDE as the electrolyte.

A video of that stuff will surely follow in a few weeks.

[antiswattt]

i have a video myself where i make hydrogen bubbles with naOH/KOH lye and al foil (: pretty fun those bubbles
