calcium is not relatively soft at all. I have a sample at home. Whereas you can cut sodium or potassium with a knife, calcium is barely dented when you apply pressure.
@adjuvants12780 chalk used on blackboards is actually gypsum which is calcium sulphate. its also used in plaster boards, also called gypsum boards. hope it helped.
Chemistry, I would argue is the most pure form of science. It truly is just experimentation, no ideologies, no biased thought, a truly ironically 'pure' science in my opinion, with physics falling shortly behind.
If only Biology could be under less straneous criticism under religious dogmas, we would all benefit.
Interesting video nonetheless, I'd appreciate more interesting videos such as the one you guys did on the "chemistry of tea" though. Great work.
i need help to find a way to test the pureness of gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O.)
my project is to take a old plasreboard and crush it then sort the paperfiber from the crust material i got a machine that can do that but i need to test how pure the gypsum power is hope somone can tell me how to test it or even better make a video that showe me how
oookkk I am so used to the US accent that for me their English accent is like a new language but those "lord of the rings" movies have helped me a lot. I am a Spanish native speaker so that is why. Australian and English accent kills me but with lord of the rings somehow i understand the English better now and then i saw Harry Potter and that improved my ability to understand English accent too....
Anyways....that professor look like a pedophile Einstein
All "chalk" used on blackboards is now actually gypsum (calcium sulphate). Real chalk (calcium carbonate) was replaced because the dust is fairly toxic. The two materials look almost identical.
Well surely if it gives of acetylene as a gas, that could surely be used in power stations a substitute for coal, it may stil be a hydrocarbon, but its has a lower burning temp then other hydro carbons, allowing for a quicker ignition of a furnace
Surely on a mass scale calcium Carbide could be used in power stations, after water has been exposed to it (like with the old bike lamps) it gives off the gas (I think is Acetylene) what can then be lit, thus boiling the water, what turns to steam and yahdy yahdy yar in the end giving us electricity, becuase of what i have understood it could be used as a counter part for coal power??
Indeed, acetylide and carbide are the same ion...but the gas mentioned here is called acetylene (C2H2). You can prepair it by adding water to a carbide, for example silvercarbide (also called silveracetylide)

were one of the only companies that sell natural multivitamins.
i recommend double x, but a simple multivitamin will do the job.
ive taken double x for months. now i tried opti men......and it sucks. gives me a headache. theres a big excess of some vitamins and its not natural.

I don't think it's "calcium carbide" what producces acetylene, it really is what I would call CALCIUM ACETYLIDE
0Sebek0 3 years ago
no, its calcium carbide, that is CaC2
CaC2 + 2H2O → C2H2 + Ca(OH)2
Calcium Acetylide would be CaCH2 but it doesn't exist anyways so that doesn't matter in the least
thelaughingjackle 3 years ago
are you sure? i thougt acetylide and carbide are the same ion...
sciencoking 2 years ago
Indeed, acetylide and carbide are the same ion...but the gas mentioned here is called acetylene (C2H2). You can prepair it by adding water to a carbide, for example silvercarbide (also called silveracetylide)
metalheadrowi 2 years ago
and that reacts with water like this:
AgC2 + 2H2O -> Ag(OH)2 + C2H2???
i didn´t know that silver hydroxide can be stable...

You're right! Sorry, my bad!
But it's Ag2C2. ;)
Silver acetylide solutes in water.

@sciencoking, Ag2+ ions are rare, Ag usually forms Ag+ ions
pHzerodotcom 2 years ago
yep, after some thinking i remembered that the copper group normally forms 1+ ions.
sciencoking 2 years ago
Copper forms 2+ ions most readily. The 1+ ions are not stable and tend to react to form copper metal and copper 2+ ions.

Chalk is probably calcium carbonate. Try to add some HCL and see if CO2 is given off.
