HOW TO MAKE IODINE(element)

[iorixs]

the greatest bactericidal agent

[cicero55555]

hey man this is to the creator of da video can u give me a klay out of how much to what u used plz and ty if thats not to much

[Adsmusicispower]

I dont have access to a fume hood,

As long as i did this experiement out side & with a P2 dust mask on, would this experiement be safe to do, with out any worry of putting myself in danger??

[kitty6837]

@AndrewM6429 Why. Going outside is another substitute. Many chemists do these sort of things outside.

[cashewedalmonds]

I love all these really unintelligent you tube chemists. Reminds me of smoking cause its cool. Still could kill you in the end:(

[spotlightman1234]

does this produce hydrogen sulfide or sulfur dioxide?

[scramnapy]

Both try it and smell the gas definetly HS and SO2. Hydrogen sulfide smells like SO2 but the diference is the concentration, HS in a high enough concentration will kill you.

[zmod101]

I have some sodium iodide laying around, would that work as a substitute for potassium iodide?

[kitty6837]

@zmod101 Yes.

[TheBombBros]

This is one of the steps in cooking methanphetamine correct? I see why only an experienced chemist should do this because if i am right, Red Phosphourus mixed with water amplified by heat creates Hydrogen Sulfide gas. and that is the same gas created when Meth is cooked improperly. this gas is extremely deadly. and one "whiff" of it you will only last a few seconds before choking to death. i have also heard it burns your skin just from the gas alone. this is an expirement i am going to avoid.

[Agentoxedo07]

@TheBombBros Holy-Terrorist:>*=* I dont know for making sulfur(S) with my stuff of burning hydrogen sulfide.

H2Sx2 + O2x3 = SO2x2 + H2Ox2

And the mix in hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide gas and liquid water vapor can make yellow sulfur!

Probably, water is a catalyzor, i haved this method in youtube video(/watch?v=ZCR1HAad4ww)!

SO2 + H2Sx2 + H2O = H2Ox3 + Sx3

[TheBombBros]

@Agentoxedo07 ???? I was just saying I dont want to try this I avoid anything too dangerous

[Spiritboymark]

It looks like coca-cola .. xD

[coolliger]

You know there are much safer ways of making iodine, with out producing HS?

[proskillz89]

if ur voice goes really deep when oing this, get out of the room ASAP

[Egwenna]

wow nice u got a litlle peacfull place there :)

[2s7a2m7]

Looks like Oreo Cookie.

[jstine1234]

can you say crank head

[spotlightman1234]

yum H2S gotta love hydrogen sulfide

[discaras]

have you ever heard of the ice bath?>

[quantumdude]

You are generating a shitload of fumes (and therefore your yield in I2 is decreasing). A much better way is to dissolve the KI in water then add an excess of hydrochloric acid. Add in small portion 6 % NaOCl (chlorox bleach) and youll get a smooth reaction with very minimal amount of Cl2 generated. You can add more water too

[FortNikitaBullion]

@quantumdude Actually you can use hydrogen peroxide in place of the bleach for this process, to eliminate the problem of generating chlorine.

[quantumdude]

@FortNikitaBullion You are indeed right though I always found the volume of H2O2 3% to be too large in comparaison to bleach. Though I am sure it can be tweaked after some experimentation.

[Mario7746]

wow

[DCdude619]

what can u use Iodine for?

[joeyfingers454]

a lot of work



[Robyytz]

So here are the reactions(correct me if i'm wrong):

2KI + H2SO4 -> K2SO4 + 2HI

if you add water it will be :

K2SO4 + 2HI + H2O -> 2KOH + H2SO4 + I2

but in air it reacts with CO2 and forms:

2KOH + 2CO2 -> 2KCO3 + H2O

[TheMaDMAli]

oxidation via the addition of hypochlorite and chloride ions to a solution with iodide complexes is much more efficient and safe....

[Unbeloved1]

Can this be used in the famous iodine trichloride (spelling?) paint experiment?

[xmenfan5]

What are the ratios?

[lulzwhot]

you wouldn't get the h2s if you used HCL

[mpotokar7]

where can i get pure sulfuric acid?

[FractAlkemist]

there's an easier way - use bleach instead of sulfuric acid. works just as well, less toxic and corrosive.

[Gmc42082]

yeah just dump the washings in your yard! lol

[aCagedApe]

@Gmc42082 it's better than down the drain...

[c0ldelement]

@Gmc42082 your yard already contains sulfides and iodine.. go look at your soil test kits.. it doesnt do any real harm

[RanDoMkId73]

Good method, but the reaction with Hydrochloric/Muriatic Acid and Hydrogen Peroxide, as aayla said, is much cleaner.

You can order Potassium Iodide online, for fairly cheap.

As iwasapenny said, you can still buy iodine in a drug store, as it is a good disinfectant, however you must sign a Federal Form and are placed on a DEA list.

Lesson: Just make it., which might look a little more like a meth cook, but what the heck lol :-)

[aayla1989]

nice but i prefer the cleaner and faster method using hydrochloric acid and hydrogen peroxide as oxidizer

[mclein1097]

I think the glass will break into pieces.

[vitorix24]

where i can get sodium iodine or potassium iodine»?

[Angelofmercy01]

where can you get potassium iodine? drug store?

[odie798]

not sure about a drug sore but ebay obviously has it

[Agentoxedo07]

Holy-Terrorist:>*=* You know, the potassium iodine haves it in 70% with salt table inn the Quebec, impressive ?

[lulzwhot]

@Agentoxedo07 lol @ "the quebec." on ne dis pas "le quelque chose" en anglais. cet just "in quebec"

[vmelkon]

@Agentoxedo07 What? Are you saying table salt has potassium iodide? It's been like that since a very long time and yes, I do live in Quebec. What's this about terrorism. They add it because our bodies need the iodide ion.

[BaNaNahOoYoO]

that end part really made me want to piss..

[Prospecting008]

Pouring on the grass makes it so green.....

[TheDrkKnght1988]

Pretty well-done method.

[FishscaleRaw]

I think the majority of the people who need high purity iodine and don't have a legit reason to buy it from a chemical supplier are involved in clandestine chemistry

does that sound right?

[PartVIII]

i wanna make some nitrogen iodide, not meth

[uchiacon]

There are a huge amount of chemists who don't engage in drug manufacture, but instead in slightly illegal explosives manufacture... and pyrotechnics. Of course, its purely for pleasure, you don't need a big lab to make a bomb. Just visit the hardware store...

It's a hobby, and they should be darn fucking lucky that we are sticking to it instead of meth making.

[imafirinmalaser]

@uchiacon Well said sir, very well said!

[iwasapenny]

No it most certainly does not sound right! Iodine is a necessary reagent to ANY chemist who wishes to do something besides the field of energetics, which as far as I know never use iodine in any practical explosive. The fact of the matter is, buying iodine will put you on a list, eventually it may get your door knocked down. Even if you are doing something as beneficial as making the cure for cancer, you WILL be arrested, your materials WILL be destroyed, and you forever be a bombmaker/methcook.

[nickrohn93]

something wrong with making explosives?

[Mypasswordiswateva]

Jesus Christ. Who cares? I'm using it to make a solar panel, not crystal meth. and if you're guna use it for crystal meth, then go ahead. Maybe you'll OD and die =D. Maybe you'll sell it to morons. Who. The. Fuck. Cares?

[InBloom10]

is there any danger of detonation with this, or are the toxic fumes the only hazard?

[Basco36]

just a fumes

[6cdawg0]

who can tell me how to make iodine crystals

[brendanpallett]

can you by iodine commecially. oh im on about in england by the way

[liquidgrain]

excuse me,but would it be possible to tell me how much KI was dissolved in that solution(KI is quite expensive and im running low)

[Basco36]

a good amount, dont remember how much

[liquidgrain]

can you give me the best estimate you can?

[siriusblack9999]

at least 40 grams(not counting the iodine that re-dissolved during rinsing)

[c0ldelement]

@liquidgrain all of it..

[lordieses]

hmmm

Do you serriusly only need KI and H2SO4?:P

I tough that you needed KMnO4,KI and H2SO4:P!

Or is that just another way to make it with more yield(more I in the result?)

?

[rainmacher]

And I f ai Do that with Tincture of iodine, what is the amount of tincture of iodine and sulfuric acid?

[Sebbass69]

18 M

[mmmetallica666]

I hope you use a fumehood. You do a lot of dangerous dangerous experiments.

[rainmacher]

Can I use the tincture of iodine instead of the potassium iodide?

[Percy203]

this is very helpful, thanks

[JunkMunchTazSquirm]

Won't the crystals dissolve if i rinse them? o_o

[Basco36]

no iodine wont dissolve in water

[derkozten]

Well, that is only partialy true: extremely pure iodine is poorly soluble in water, but if there is some iodide ions dissolved, they will coordinate with solid iodine and make far more soluble:

I(-) [aq] + I2 [s] ---> I3(-) [aq]

That is why the first rinses in Basco's video were pretty brown: he was dissolving the excess of H2SO4 but also the excess of potassium iodide, which reacted with some of the purple iodine solid.

[th1nker21]

but the iodine is very oxydizing ...right ?? like chlorine , bromine.....

[Basco36]

ya.

[zerosktr111]

y are you going to make some meth? lol.

[porkstorm]

iodine likes to exist as a diatomic molecule. it won't react with oxygen if it's just sitting in the air

[ParapaDrifter]

how would somebody make iodine from providone-iodine (PVP)? I want to react the crystals with KOH and make my own goddamned Potassium Iodide.

Fuckin DEA. they only enforce their shitty statutes because they want to restrict all healthy nutrients, all the while keep black market prices high for the Queen of England and her corrupt al-CiAda operatives...

Anyone who says this is a free country will get my fist across their jaw!

[mossydie]

Meh do you really want a freedom where people can buy all the chemicals they need to blow the hell out of each other?

[ParapaDrifter]

hell, if you have knowledge you can do many things. who needs to buy shit if you have knowhow? are you condoning preventing free speech?

Castor beans can be refined into one of the most toxic poisons, ricin

Botullism can be readilly cultivated from soil to produce an incurable toxin, botulin

Urine can be fermented and refined to produce poatssium nitrate, an effective explosive.

I'm not offering suggestions, I'm just illustrating that your fucking mentality resys on a slippery slope.

[mossydie]

Urine can be used to produce urea nitrate which is more powerful than KNO3 (which is legal to buy at least in the UK).

Bleach can be used to make pottasium chlorate, a filler in explosives in the World War eras.

Nicotine is a very powerful, very abundant poison.

[mossydie]

I said nothing about free speech. I said that you don't want people to be able to buy everything they need to make a bomb, hell they might as well just buy the finished product. The fact that such things have to me made using various reagents / processes normally lets law enforcement agencies realise what is going on and assess the risk.

Complete freedom is impossible - The Brothers Karamazov has a chapter on the subject, and the debate branches off all ways including into the birth of religion.

[ParapaDrifter]

well, what the whole kit-n-cabootle comes to mossy is that the nation will always be more moral than authorities, government or whoever claims to be the conscious of society.

And I'd rather have an armed population of people that the government fears, than a nation of domesticated humans. the nation will always be more morally sound than the government.

I also don't think that if explosives can be bought that people will kill one another, so pessimistic.

Hospitals kill more than guns

[mossydie]

The purpose of government / religion / etc is to lay out a moral code and then to enforce that code.

The question is whether human nature is strong enough to function without this code. Golding would argue not, as would religion and the vast majority of historical evidence. The very fact that there are not constant revolutions shows that on some level we do need such a system.

And there will always be people who want to do harm to others.

The difference between hospitals and guns is intention..

[ParapaDrifter]

"The difference between hospitals and guns is intention."

How convient.

Let the historical record show, that for the last century, most human suffering and death was caused by governments.

The problem with government enforcement of a moral code is the fact that it allows for amplification of this obvious flaw in human nature. A lesser role of government mitigate this flaw's effect.

how does that one truism go? " Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Save lives. Choose Liberty.

[ilikehaku1100]

The H is released when it reacts i think.

[lovebecomeshate]

wat do you even use that shit for

[Defective23]

if you mix it with conc ammonia you get

NI3 (nitrogen triiodide) look for some vids its pretty cool stuff.

[HunajaMelooni]

what is that iodine??

[Lokivoid]

now dump some chlorine into that bowl :P

[badmf13]

Why didn't you use HCl instead? You could avoid the H2S fumes.

[pyropakman]

HCl isn't a very good oxidant, which you need to convert the iodide in the potassium iodide to crystalline iodine.

[Monxer]

where do i get the sulfuric acid?

[chao129]

certain drain cleaners contain it, look for sulphuric acid on the label

[Monxer]

so if i need it for a experiment, it would be okay just to throw the drain cleaner in, or is their a way to filter it out?

[chao129]

well, usually h2so4 drain cleaner is around 95%, which is good enough for almost all uses, just be sure to check the concentration on the label.

[chao129]

also, beware that most drain cleaners, especially acid ones, can be very expensive.

[howe094]

how about 2KI+2HCL+H202-->I2+2KCL+2H20

no toxic fumes whatsoever are made

[j822bosh]

Well even better is I added battery electrolyte to strong alkali iodide and added 35%H2O2 until no more I2 precipitates. No fumes and no addition of water needed. Note that the sulfate ion and nitrate ion greatly reduces iodines water solubility. You see in the video that after the sulfuric acid was replaced by pure water, the solution immediately turned brown because the iodine was redissolving. I would rinse with a warm sodium sulfate solution, dry then sublime.

[j822bosh]

P.S. I meant auto battery electrolyte. The kind I buy is almost 40% sulfuric acid.

[pyropakman]

Hey bro, where'd you get the 35% H2O2?

The source of the KI would be nice too. Thanks.

[quantumdude]

8 KI + 9 H2SO4 --> 4I2 + H2S + 4 H2O + 8 KHSO4

[evsonjunior]

how do I do to concentrate the sulfuric acid?

because I have only the sulfuric acid at 30% concentration and I need the acid in concentrations of 98-99% to make some reactions like this. please reply. thanks

[qwiqui]

hey man! i really love chemistry. thanks for giving me a new idea. P.S. you can make hydrogen with solid zinc and hydrochloric acid

[johnsmith777710]

Just use aluminum and hydrochloric acid and theres your hydrogen

[benzcool000000]

what did you do about the hydrogen sulfide that was produced?

[Basco36]

I do this outside.

[Defective23]

how come the iodine dosent redissolve into solution? i thought iodine was soluble!

[xR0WDYx]

the real trick is to find out how to get solid iodine out of the iodine solution you buy at the pharmacy. I figured it out. Dont evaporate the alcohol out of the solution. Halogen displacement allows you to get iodine.

[guayolove]

Basic chemistry reactions????... for rookies or what

[Chaoschemiker]

So you'll have impurities like iodine chloride in your iodine.

Purificate it with destroing the rests of it by let it react with more potassium iodide. But its not very easy to separate from the iodine i guess. So better use for oxidation hydrogen peroxide (you know where it can be found i think) or Manganese(IV)oxide or, if you're too rich: potassium permanganate (also some other oxidizing agents).

So you also avoid hydrogen sulfide and the excess using of sulfuric acid.

[Basco36]

I do sodium iodide and chlorine to make my iodine. peroxide way dont work.

[Chaoschemiker]

It works.

[warprivate123]

where do you get potassium iodine

[XGsboty]

Those "iodine" tablets for nuclear accidents do contain it with binding agent. They are expensive, thru.

Btw, instead of sulphuric acid it is possible to use solution containing chlorine-ions Cl-.

Cl- + KI -> Cl- + K+ + I

Then you need to just filter iodine from solution, as Cl- keeps it from dissolving. Making solution containing Cl-: boil trichloroisosyanyric acid. It releases it's chlorine whitch some of gets dissolved in water. This is extremely dangerous and must be done OUTSIDE.

[qwiqui]

pharmacy

[NZVideoGuy]

My apologies. That rude comment was meant for this dipstick. xPdavisx

[NZVideoGuy]

You like little girls eh. Mentally deranged arsewipe.

[katums141]

chemistry used to make me want to kill myself... I liked the experiments but all of the theory was sooo irritating...

[adiosk8erxxx]

hey did u ever take it a step further and

and mixed it with AMMONIUM HYDROXIDE

to create NI3 crystals?

[AlchemistShaman]

There is also a way to make it using peroxide right?

[Basco36]

ya, but not very efficiant way.

[CptIncaino]

When your rinsing out all leftover sulfuric acid will you be washing out any iodine impurities? Is Iodine water soluble?

[Basco36]

There will still be impuries in the iodine even after you wash it, Iodine is very slightly soluble in water.

[spy96]

Probably Tzaar vodka is more dangerous. (Dissolves GOLD)

[AlchemistShaman]

What is Tzaar vodka?

[Basco36]

napalm, I would think.

[crazyboy0602]

interesting. i was under the impression hydrogen peroxide was needed in addition to sulfuric or hydrochloric acid.

[Basco36]

ah, the addition of h202 might help, but i never tried it.

[engpoh81]

Thanks anyway. I am also a chemistry PhD student. My research is on advanced material synthesis.

[engpoh81]

How you further purify it to make it food grade iodine?

[Basco36]

Im not sure, what do you mean food grade iodine?

[engpoh81]

I mean 99.9 percent pure Iodine. Anyway, this is a good demonstration to chemistry student. Are you college or university's lecturer?

[Basco36]

No I'm not lecturer, I'm student. If you want to see how to make pure iodine check out my video of PRECIPITATING IODINE.

[Randumshitstudios]

where do you get H2SO4 and Potassium Iodine

[ytmachx]

H2SO4 is easily obtained from battery acid,about35%. $20 for 5gal. First filter with wool,put in rb flask and distill out water.Watch temp.Boiling point will rise to 195C,then smoke. Acid will be visible coming over at entrance of condenser at 205C Check output of condenser with bakingsoda solution. Stop when it reacts. You should have about 90% Don't breath any vapors SO3 is deadly.

[bryanl1995]

to make sulphuric acid,

Making Sulphuric acid

Sulphuric acid is made in three steps.

Stage 1

Sulphur is heated until it melts. The liquid sulphur is burnt in air. It reacts with oxygen from the air to make sulphur dioxide gas. Stage 2 The sulphur dioxide gas is mixed with more air and heated with a catalyst. The sulphur dioxide reacts with oxygen to make sulphur trioxide. The catalyst speeds up this reaction. Sulphur trioxide gas dissolves in water to make sulphuric acid.

[derkozten]

This is actually the contact process, normally used in H2SO4 industry. The catalyst used is normaly vanadium pentoxide (V2O5), and flankly I don't think you can get V2O5 in stores...

Besides, direct SO3 solvation in water is extremely dangerous, being SO3 even more water-withdrawing than H2SO4 itself. It would be better to dissolve SO3 in H2SO4 and make oleum.

[mingmingnak]

bubbling chlorine through an iodine solution works quite well

[AMIT1477]

dude i didnt understand, after you insert the H2SO4 you get HI acid but how did you get I2 from HI?! i know that if you add NaClO sodium hypochlorit to the HI you can get I2 crystals

[derkozten]

A way to understand this is realizing that H2SO4 acts as an oxidizing agent, following this equation

8I(-) + SO4(2-) + 10H(+) --> 4I2 + H2S + 4H2O

So, if you want to make "clean" hydroiodic acid (HI) from an iodide salt, you need a non-oxidizing acid. Phosphoric acid is a good example (H3PO4).

H3PO4 + 3I(-) --> PO4(3-) + 3 HI

HI evolves as a gas.

[derkozten]

Nice experiment. Although nasty, this reaction is very demonstrative about redox chemistry.

For obtaining I2, there are "cleaner" procedures, like oxidizing iodide solutions with nitric acid, or with permanganate in acidic solution. It would also be plausible to bubble chlorine gas throug iodide solution.

[Basco36]

yeah, I really dont like this method, I've done the chlorine bubbled through iodide salt it produces more iodine.

[cyanide444]

How would you make sulfuric acid......

[Basco36]

Im not sure of the hole prodedure but you need sulfur to make it

[Basco36]

this is the worst way to make iodine by the way.

[Jantv06]

Nice video, but do you think that its lucrative ?

[Basco36]

not this method, but my other method is very noncostlty.

[Jantv06]

Whats your other method ?

[Basco36]

its my most recent uploaded video,check it out.

[LucyiX]

I need A video to show me how to make at home pure sodium metal from NaOH

[Basco36]

sorry to say,but it would be Virtually Impossible to make sodium in your home.

[Jantv06]

No, Its possible, I've done it on a chemistry competition, but it isn't lucrative.

For more informations write a message to me.

[jmmatos23]

so if i mix table Nacl and H2SO4 ill have chlorine?

[Basco36]

Thats a logical question, and the thought hadn't even crossed my mind wether it would. It seems like it should, but I doubt it. I will test it to be sure.

[jmmatos23]

I guess it will work. NaCl an KI are both halides of an alkali metal. It works too with potassium bromide, so why not whit salt? :)

[Basco36]

I just tested it, Sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid both react very well with NaCl but it does not produce any chlorine that I could smell.

[jmmatos23]

Oh thats weird. If you want chlorine, mix HCL and bleach. It will react very quickly producing a lot of chlorine gas, you should be careful. Film it and upload it to youtube if you can please =) thats how i get chlorine.

[JBird314]

No, it will give gaseous hydrogen chloride - colorless, fuming and corrosive gas with sharp smell (water solution is hydrochloric acid). Concentrated H2SO4 will not oxidize table salt into chlorine.

[jmmatos23]

No matter if you use native NaCl?

[uzzobb]

would be much useful if you mentioned what were those things you added to the solution.

All that was mentiones was sulphuric acid and Potassium iodide

[Basco36]

potassium iodide and sulfuric acid is all that is needed to do the reaction, the only other thing I added was water.

I would have edited the movie with captions and such but im not sure how.

[mabakken]

Very, very nice! You can purify it further, though, by dissolving it in trichloromethane and let the solvent evaporate =)

[Basco36]

cool, thanks for the tip.

[waynedavisband]

so what is that good for

[Basco36]

many things.

iodine is rather expensive.

[drkfire666]

It's used in water treatment and in treating hoof diseases in horses. It's also used in making ammonium triiodide contact explosive, always fun at parties. I hear it's also used in making methamphetamine, also fun at some parties if your into that kind of thing.

[dawgzilla1]

btw its actually called nitrogen triiodide (NI3) not ammonium triiodide

common mistake cuz u mix the iodine with NH3

and it is pretty fun as long as u can keep it in a stablER form nd u hav to b careful with it (duh)

[drkfire666]

Ah, yes. My mistake, but you can make ammonium triiodide with a concentration of ammonia. Also good for a joke.
