Reaction of Sodium & Chlorine (with subtitles)

[Rudibudi420]

What the heck that was awesome!

[plzuttaren]

THats how u make an instant bong :D

[IEatPi3141592653589]

There weren't subtitles!

[noahboa9258]

Delicious.

[Slow3urner]

@TomTech321 maybe you're the stupid one for not realizing they're joking? :P

[EpicBuLLeTzZ]

I made salt lbce

[TomTech321]

Some stupid ppl in the top comments here, so if sodium chloride is illegal then humans would not exist because everything in life depends on salt

[WingsCV]

@TomTech321 actually its the sodium thats important >> not sodium chloride altogether

[MegaAngel1210]

LIKE THIS

[sbsp83]

Sodium Chloride (NaCl) causes high blood pressure.

[GameTimeGO]

so where's the salt?

[MegaRachel1997]

sodium chloride? illegal? well then everybody in the entire U.S. is breaking the law because it's TABLE SALT!

[AugustinusSextus]

@MegaRachel1997 trolled

[Boredom2989]

@MegaRachel1997 he was joking. calm it.

[meerak360]

People stop the confusing of sodium chloride is illegal and all of tht useless talk

yes sodium chloride is salt , why? ok chlorine is a halogen and halogen's are know as salt formers they are the most reactive non-metals react with metals to form salts, and that table salt we eat is not as dangerous or vigorous as u see in this reaction ; because a product of a reactions is totally different from from its reactants in properties, colour, reactivity, shape and so on, i hope this makes it clear.

[promusicality]

Have you ever seen salt being made?

Not mined,

but made?

Have you ever seen

the birthing of a star?

[Maroshirby]

@chunkmanshaun If sodium chloride is illegal, you would probably have died because of hypotension. I assume that you don't even know what hypotension is. Dimwit :(

[Maroshirby]

@chunkmanshaun

[ComeForTech]

Gonna try this chemical reaction in school's science lab!! Thanks bro for the informative video!!

[TheAubreymaec]

my teacher said Na+Cl is equal to salt !

[rgd1414]

واااااو كمية الطااقه الناتجه هائله

[bearminator90]

Why the water ? For the heat produced?

[cbohar84]

@bearminator90 Because water reacts very violently with sodium metals

[Euroliite]

Wow, narrator sounds just like my old science teacher.

[edlrocks12591]

why do you need the water??

[XxTriniboy2332xX]

INSTA BONG XD

[12lkrae]

It's just Table Salt!

[marcusduck]

can i use that to season my steak?

[Schlongster69]

Sodium chloride is salt while sodium is a metal, which if you didn't notice it obviously starts on fire if you put water on it and it makes a chemical reaction changing the subtances.

[Thunderhead38]

...I've been told that sodium chloride is just salt... how can that be illegal?

...Or is it some toxic, unrefined salt?

[bleachiko3cat3]

wooohooo that was so cool

[kenrp94]

So did you make salt?

[ianflowforever]

I just get the weirdest, you know, feeling, when I see the flask opened, I mean, the thing they use to grab the sodium, it's also the stopper. I just feel that it's not a lot, but, just unsafe for that chlorine gas to escape. Then again, I'm not that experienced or knowledgeable with chemistry yet, I know some basics I believe, but since I know chlorine gas is highly poisonous, I just, I don't know, get chills. When I heard a drop of water, I thought "OH SHI oh, that isn't too bad."

[7onySpilotro]

So I guess the next question might be; If the Chlorine in the video is in a gas form as explained, and the reaction doesn't start until water is added, then what kind of yeild are we seeing in terms of gramage or micro-gramage? As I understand it, this is called an Ionic bond, in which the sodim lends itself to the chlorine because chlorine is more electromagnetic. they bond and create sodium chloride (table salt)

[Cleocleo8Cleocleo8]

There is no chlorine after the reaction. It mixed with the sodium and made a completely different chemical. It's that same reason that CO2 doesn't burn even though it's has oxygen in it and oxygen is very flammable.

[YEUHNBD]

so i know that chlorine is very toxic, but when you mix it with sodium and makes table salt, how is it not toxic anymore? someone plz explain it..i know it changes into ions but it still has chlorine so it doesnt make sense to me

[7onySpilotro]

@YEUHNBD What happens is the soduim and Chlorine bond to form a different compound all together... sodium is weakly electromagnetic, if you look at a periodic table it is on the far left, it has one in its outer shell whereas Chlorine is on the far right side meaning it is extremly electromagnetic, It is looking to attract an electron to complete its octet (an octet has 8 electrons) it only has seven, Na gives an electron to Cl leaving the Na. atom with a positive and the Cl with negativ charge

[YEUHNBD]

@7onySpilotro yeah i know about the bonding and stuff.. and how they bond together to form something different, i just still dont undertand why its not toxic from the chlorine lol just for some reason it doesnt make sense

[thezeved]

@YEUHNBD imagine the atoms as kids that want candy. chlorine WANTS a candy (electron) desperately to be happy and will rip through anything (allmost) to get it (thus it's reactivity and toxicity). once it gets the candy (chloride anion Cl-) he's happy and all

[thezeved]

@7onySpilotro i think you meant electroNEGATIVE

[chunkmanshaun]

isnt sodium chloride illegal?

[ee0542]

@chunkmanshaun If sodium chloride was illegal, you wouldn't be able to put salt on your food. Sodium Chloride, is basically, a scientific name for salt.

[YEUHNBD]

@chunkmanshaun LOLOLOLOL

[roseabigail62]

@chunkmanshaun NaCl is in your shampoo and soap so i don't think its illegal

[BooMHeadShoT4441]

@chunkmanshaun its salt dumbass

[mepicaelsobaco]

@BooMHeadShoT4441 its sarcasm dumbass

[Itachisan125]

@chunkmanshaun Your saying that salt is illegal?

[piplupsingularity]

@chunkmanshaun

Yes and so is Dihydrogen Monoxide.

[pointeprincess302]

@piplupsingularity technically it would be hydrogen monoxide, not dihydrogen monoxide

[crazylaceashira]

@pointeprincess302 Can you defend that assertion? If you want an IUPAC-compliant name, it should be Oxidane.

[pointeprincess302]

@crazylaceashira well, in my college chemistry class, we just went over how to name covalent compounds and thats how my professor explained it to us so...i guess thats my only defense. i dont even know what IUPAC-compliant is...im going for a basic name here, you're getting a little complicated lol

[crazylaceashira]

@pointeprincess302 I suppose my point is that both Hydrogen monoxide and Dihydrogen monoxide are equally valid names. The IUPAC is the organization that regulates chemical nomenclature, and the names that they assign are designed to be specific enough that one could determine the exact structure (except for bond angles) of any IUPAC-named chemical. With the chemical we've discussed up to this point all are equally specific, but only Oxidane follows IUPAC rules. Also the common name, sorta.

[PaladinswordSaurfang]

@piplupsingularity And so is meth.

[yumi327]

@piplupsingularity correct me if im wrong but isnt that NaCl or table salt?

[piplupsingularity]

@yumi327

Sodium chloride is table salt; dihydrogen monoxide is water. (what I previously typed was a joke)

[myoneandonlyc]

@piplupsingularity

lol

[GTHaroFITBMX]

@piplupsingularity hahaha! water.

[dhanveerss]

@chunkmanshaun sodium chloride is just salt, what you put on ya fish and chips :)

[legomaniac225]

@chunkmanshaun it's table salt

[ltschriscrucker]

@chunkmanshaun No it's just NaCl, regular salt!! Na+ and Cl- you know

[12lkrae]

@chunkmanshaun It's just regular old table salt!

[sodia1]

@chunkmanshaun dude sodium chloride is what you eat. its Salt in the food =_=

[andre20041997]

@chunkmanshaun good one

[gbobbyjones]

@chunkmanshaun hahaha please tell me your joking

[coolgirlzzzz1]

@chunkmanshaun and @piplupsingularity

they are scientists so they have to use it der

[TheScienceLife]

@chunkmanshaun it is table salt.

[chaos00113]

@TheScienceLife isnt that NaCl? im pretty sure it is.

[myoneandonlyc]

@chunkmanshaun

Ummmm no sodium chloride is table salt and last time I checked salt was still for sale.

[Alexander4never]

@chunkmanshaun Sodium Chloride = SALT :L

[42Gamerdude]

@chunkmanshaun Its salt dumbass.

[Tjcguy]

@42Gamerdude He was joking

[kakoula10]

wtf :O

[TheKawi125rider]

looks like a bong

[YEUHNBD]

@TheKawi125rider called a flask

[awsomehighvoltage]

our science teacher showed us this video.

[HendrixGirl4270]

lol i'd do this in the school lab but i don't want to break our flasks

[advisablyparentable]

@HendrixGirl4270 didn't you hear him. thats what the sand at the bottom is for.

[HendrixGirl4270]

@advisablyparentable | dude i'm not deaf. imagine that i know what i meant when i said that and you're not the only genius here. it's not necessary to ruin someone's day

[supertuxmusic]

Actually, a much more entertaining way would be to keep some 30% hydrogen peroxide in a bucket and add in some caesium.

[AkiraKeiKyo]

@supertuxmusic you forgot to add the part where you get a lawyer and leave a will lol



[1958boomergirl]

That would be one hell of a way to start a campfire.

[heartlessvietboy]

You guys get what I'm Talking about?

[Versudan]

This guy needs to have his accent changed... "WAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUR!­" How the fuck can anyone say 'water' like that?

[NopeJPeg]

@Versudan

At least it's much more intelligible than the Aussie equivalent "WODAH".

[Versudan]

@NopeJPeg I live in Australia and I've NEVER heard anyone ever say it like that. You must have met some genuine bogan trash, I'm sorry.

[MicroApp619]

Bong Anybody?

[YoAssIsKicked]

"Hey man clear that bong!" *5 seconds later we have a dead man*

[Pinkfan1414]

Woah.

[zommza]

I actually think that you get sodium from the decomposition of NaCl (salt)

Sodium is not naturally occuring as it is extremely reactive to just about everything because it wants to be like argon :P

[aurestest]

WTF would you say 'Yellow chlorine Gas'?????

[freshburritos]

lets all throw salt in our local swimming pool...(not really!)

[favelaninja]

@freshburritos theres not enough clorine in pool to get a reaction every one would just think someone shat out metal

[TheMarkNessMonster]

Actually, you don't really need the chlorine for that reaction, all the chlorine is doing is prolonging the burn(remember your fire triangle, kids)

[nollllllllen]

damn did all my salt do that before it was there

[jjunit207]

actually the exothermic reaction comes from the lattice energy, not from the transfer of electrons. if you calculate the energy from the transfer of the electrons you find that it actually absorbs energy. the lattice structure the two atoms form lowers their PE and gives off this energy in the form of heat, hence making it exothermic through its restructuring

[harpo103]

Does it taste salty?

[cheetawolf]

its people like you who let me see what mixing chemicals do, but without me blowing my face off. :P

[mlopinto2k1]

Probably wouldn't want to inhale that smoke.

[MinisterKGB]

I am honestly no expert in chemistry, but is chlorine flammable or is it the sodium and water that is making the fire?

[jaffey2006]

Na + Cl -> Na(+) + Cl(-)

Sodium is reduced and Chlorine is oxidized stabilizing their electron shells, hence the exothermic reaction.

[blaugrana]

@jaffey2006: How Na can be reduced if the product is Na+ ??? even the same for Cl....Cl is changed into Cl-...so it takes an electron, so it is reduced and not oxidized!!!

[jaffey2006]

@blaugrana

Woops yeah Na is oxidized and Chlorine is reduced, my bad.

[WhiteGangster69]

So that's what will happen if I put salt in water? JK

[77Sephiroth77]

Where are the subtitles? "0.0

[MrPIDAY1]

SALT!!!

[chimoy1]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah my eyes *_*

[CarlosGraOca]

Where's mah salt?!

[russianrocker1]

he sounds like my principal O_o

[joeypop1]

you aint seen my balls

[jellyjigglerfan123]

This is why I LOVE science and hate other subjects! If only math was this cool!

[ricardo16pr]

@jellyjigglerfan123 yo do know that science is mostly based on math, right?

[jellyjigglerfan123]

@ricardo16pr yes but science is still much better :)

[DiehardBarbecue1]

Who needs Thomas Edison??

[guywithminigun]

huzzah!

[Supdude147]

Good. Now put that on your salad.

[sciencefreak99]

i saw this movie in science class ^_^ education is key

[Second2Rush]

I'd Rathur use Powdered Beryilium Copper then Sodium it takes to long...

[hifatpeople]

@probano fine then... A sodium bullet (cigarette butts are hard enough to be deadly when fired with blanks... Mythbusters confirmed)

[krakelak]

I see no salt

[hifatpeople]

imagine getting stabbed by a knife with a blade made of sodium

[probano]

@hifatpeople i don't think it can kill anyone... sodium is a very soft metal....

[jworcester92]

@probano no, sodium is very poisonous, when it ingested, it form sodium hydroxide with the water in your body. sodium hydroxide is the strongest base, a complete opposite of an acid, but just as dangerous

[probano]

@jworcester92 i was replying to hifat... he said what if you were hit with a knife made of sodium... Get it? I know it's hazardous and all that stuff...

[jworcester92]

@probano my bad..i did not even notice that thread there...i just wish i had 5 lbs of it to through in a lake or something. :)

[probano]

@jworcester92 lol hahaha

[jamaicagurl4eva]

whooaaa ..

[nikossion]

where can i get sodium(i dont even know what it is)

[mikster2244]

That is so cold, itl like disappeared!

[heartlessvietboy]

Sodium is a salt that can be turned into a metal under extreme electrolysis conditions.

[hifatpeople]

@heartlessvietboy no, sodium chloride is a salt that can be split into chlorine gas and sulfer (metal, not salt) by melting it then peforming electrolysis.

[heartlessvietboy]

Splitting is balogny. It is evaporating salt and taking the steam from it and calling it a gas.

[AdamArchangel]

@heartlessvietboy Sodium is a metal, a highly reactive one. Sodium CHLORIDE is a common salt

[heartlessvietboy]

Please enlighten me on the subject matter of "Sodium" Na on the periodic table.

[HotVoodooWitch]

@heartlessvietboy It's an element, i.e., it contains a single type of atom. Just pick up a high school chemistry textbook.

[heartlessvietboy]

Metal with Chlorine becomes salt?

[HotVoodooWitch]

@heartlessvietboy Yes, that's the point.

[ryan2048]

Ty, helped me on my chem. homework =)

[Shimmerwave]

wait so. how do they make tonnes of salt if this process is soo dangerous?

[beybladera]

@Shimmerwave they let nature do most of the work. They basically just fill a large area with sea water and let it evaporate. When it is all evaporated they collect the salt that is left behind.

[Fentanyl3]

@beybladera in the case of sea salt,they evaporate seawater, most salt comes from salt mines just like coal comes from a coal mine

[beybladera]

@Fentanyl3 Thanks, I actually didn't know that. : )

[Fentanyl3]

@beybladera Back when I was a kid, my dad drove a truck, we once went to a salt mine that was underground. They actually had us drive the truck into the mine We drove a few miles into the mine to deliver some new equipment. Ranks on the top of my list for cool stuff I did when I was a kid.

[MPSecare]

god damn thats just like str8 up poison gas bomb

[heartlessvietboy]

Sodium is what we call SALT!!

[idricool]

@heartlessvietboy Sodium Chlorine is what's called table Salt.

[heartlessvietboy]

Sodium Chlorine is what we call CANCER!

[Mac4Out]

@idricool Chloride, Is the name for Table salt... Sodium Chloride Dont you watch Jimmy Neutron?

[callhelpwnage]

@heartlessvietboy Troll detected. Or a complete idiot.

[HotVoodooWitch]

@callhelpwnage Are they mutually exclusive?

[beybladera]

@heartlessvietboy sodium is a metal that is highly explosive when in contact with water. Chlorine is a gas that is extremely deadly when inhaled. Sodium Chloride (the combination of 1 sodium molecule and 1 chlorine molecule, which is showed in this video), is simple table salt.

So no, sodium itself is not salt, unless you want to try putting it on your food and watching your food explode, go right ahead.

[EleventyBillion861]

DAMN

[Bubblegum992007]

awesome..

[teo99101]

how about 1kg of Na and 1L of H2O ?

can you explain what happens???????

[penguinlogo]

yay they made salt i guess?

[lolinaki18]

Seriously that happens?

[BILMANDUDE]

sodium also reacts violently with water only so i dont really find anything special about this :P

the only difference is that with chlorine this has a much more violent reaction.

[HotVoodooWitch]

@BILMANDUDE What's "special" about it is that it's a demonstration of how NaCl--with which everyone is familiar and is in pretty much every kitchen cupboard--is formed; it's a lot more interesting than just reading theory. We watched the same reaction in chemistry class many moons ago. It's a Golden Oldie.

[161803]

Finally, I can make my own salt!

[98JMA]

@161803

Surely it's just safer, cheaper and easier to combine hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide in aqeous solution?

[161803]

@98JMA if i wanted safe salt id inquire with morton's what i want is salt with a STORY white chalk white chalk you are not the source of the sea and its mystery i live in the tides and cut channels in the sand

[lin2k4]

SCIENCE

[tasatful]

My Reaction: O.O

[ToxicMayo9]

@simpsonstewie but if you inhale the cl2 first............. hahahaha

[markedone34]

give me a formula

[EODsplosion]

yay, now the deadly gas that would melt my face off and the tiny peace metal that would blow me up, has turned into a deelishis condiment that I will now put on my eggs.

yumy

[xshoreLS1]

@EODsplosion lol funnily ironic isn't it. such is life i guess.

[NecronFire]

It should of said "Simple." at the end of the video, lawl.

[anuraganimax]

awesome

[musiclova37]

Chlorine is a green-yellow gas at room temperature..

[del885]

cool... now smoke it!

[Agentoxedo07]

Holy-Terrorist:>*=* wtf, is not chlorine, is a sulfur solid yellow, the chlorine gas is liquid green yellow !

[shakethatthangbitch]

haben wir uns heute im physik unterricht angesehen

[mycoid]

So this is cool because the chlorine gas supports the flame instead of oxygen?

[mvillasanac]

I don't get a thing: What's the function of the drop of water in the reaction between Na + Cl? i can't get the chemical equation:

Na + Cl + H2O -> NaCl + ???

[Selothi]

@mvillasanac Well, sodium metal is an alkali metal, so it reacts with water readily to give off hydrogen gas H2 and heat. I take it it's the ignition of the hydrogen gas by the heat that is necessary for this reaction to take place. That's my two cents anyway, I don't actually know the details of the sodium+chlorine reaction, so I can't say anything for sure.
