Barium Nitrate (english version)

[cookiessssssss]

ok thank you very much, I already made several gram =) its going well

french

ok merci beaucoup, j'ai déjà fait plusieurs 100ene de gramme =) sa marche bien

[cookiessssssss]

Thank you for this video I add to my list of video also ^ ^.

But I have a small problem! I use the normal water tap cella problem or not.

And small question at 3:02 minute you said, filter the solution, therefore, must keep the liquid and threw the rest of barium? I am a beginner and not chemists of all, thank you for your future answer.

@cookiessssssss tap water will be fine if you do not need a highly pure final product.

[Adamjckay]

so the white stuff left in the glass jar is the barium nitrate?

[Deanzsyclone]

why would you even want to make BN?

[redwolf42]

@Deanzsyclone

Barium nitrate is controlled and only available to schools and businesses. when added to thermite (aluminum powder and iron oxide) it increases the incendiary affects of the thermite.

[antiswattt2]

if you cant get baco3 or hno3.... then you could extract it from sparklers (dissolve sparkler powder in water, filter, boil water away or crystallize it) a thing im thinking of ATM is addint a solution of KClO3 to a solution of Ba(NO3)2 (: BaClO3? :D

Where would H2S come in? There's no sulfur source.

[roguespear91]

Barium Carbonate comes from a source that contains Barium Sulfate in small amounts. It's very difficult to remove all of the sulfate.

[liquidgrain]

And thanks to the nearly undestructable sulfate ion you can have that delicious barium sulfate milkshake at the hospital for MRI's!!!

[roguespear91]

Milkshake, huh? It was my understanding that barium contrast was administered in a different... "route".

[adriiPortillo]

@roguespear91 hahahaha yep, colon enemas for contrasted colon rx. a father of a friend of mine haves colon cancer and periodically he haves this wonderfull milkshake the wrong route hahaha

[neddy17]

actually, the source is barium sulfIDE, not sulfate

[roguespear91]

It is produced from BaS, but mined with traces of BaSO4.

[tnzfki]

that was exactly my question i was going to ask now but i read its here already XD

[bla287]

@pyropakman

Technically BaCO3 is made by reducing BaSO4 (most abundant natural Ba source) with coal to BaS. Then the BaS is dissolved in water and percipitated with a carbonate (eg Na2CO3) as BaCO3. In this process, not all of the BaS is converted so you have some BaS left in technical grade BaCO3. That's why it'll evolve H2S upon contact with acids.

HORAY, too bad i have no idea where to get anything you used :)

[kronic4991]

would you be able to use barium carbonate and ammonium nitrate/potassium nitrate? also where do you get barium carbonate? or anything with barium in it...

[cyanide444]

Barium hydroxide would work too. It's bought from chemical stores.

[sciencoking]

Barium carbonate can be found as a mineral called witherite. look up on wikipedia :-)

dude ur crazy
