CUTTING SODIUM METAL

[Wiintendoh]

I want to eat it SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad :(

[JohnsCoolChannel]

mmm yummy porkroll!



[mccunecp]

is sodium conductive will it contuct electricity

[99Chemicals]

Why the hell does everyone react sodium with water in an aluminum pie dish well knowing that the hydoxide dissolves aluminum??

[DunkelStern]

The real title of this video is "How to burn down a forest"

[Wiintendoh]

i didn' know you could cut metal

[kjdkyle1]

Throw the brick in a swimming pool

[seiph80]

Damn that's a lot of sodium!

[loveveyesil]

best video on youtube

[Dornier335A]

What causes the explosion? Is it the molten sodium hydroxide that explodes in water or is it just the hydrogen?

[Bassai]

Just remember not to drink any water-based liquid after eating your sodium sandwich. You'll explode.

[mraiford]

@Bassai That would be one hell of a belch.

[TheAppleChannel1]

You drop that in water, you kil the world

[skynat247]

Where do you get solid sodium like that?

[b1912313]

3 POUNDS? WUT? GIVE ME THAT

[Ormaaj]

I've always wondered what it feels like to cut through. Is it like wax or soap only a bit stiffer?

Fancy looking knife.

[Hephistos]

ok seriously where in the world would you get a 3 pound chunk of NA? xD

i mean my chemistry teacher was proud we had a 100g cube left :D

[dlcoates1]

@Hephistos I just bought 1 oz on UnitedNuclear for $25 plus shipping and hazmat fee, not that expensive anymore.

[scientologyRfail]

imagine chucking that whole brick in water

[Dedrohauf]

I see a good prank...

[thawdani]

m8.. where did u get that much...

[jinkss111]

that's weird when it's cut it's like hard butter

[Bassai]

why does it look like clay on the outside?

[themacfan16]

@Bassai because it is so reative it oxidizes the outside layer when exposed to air

[Bassai]

@themacfan16 Quick tarnish. Thanks.

[PyroPortrayal]

Beautiful. It's nice to know hobbyists can still get that big of a rod of Na.

[maksphoto78]

From Wikipedia: "Sodium metal in reagent-grade sold for about $1.50/pound ($3.30/kg) in 2009 when purchased in tonne quantities. Lower purity metal sells for considerably less. Smaller quantities of sodium, such as a kilogram, cost far more, in the range of $165/kg."

[cityofbones0]

What was in the pan and cup?

[g3ov4n12]

@Basco36 How much did this 3 pounds costed? And where did you bought it??

[badmf13]

Did you really use a damascus blade to cut sodium?

[SatansBaby1]

@badmf13 Its not damascus! It just paint.

[MrChemLab]

Your videos are always really great! You go up and beyond with your experiments!

[honse246]

where in the world do you get a BRICK of Na

a BRICK

im guessing its the basic unit of measurement for sodium

i need like 5 bricks for Xmas presents

[Basco36]

why is everyone scared of Na, Its really not that dangerous as you think.

[derkozten]

@Basco36 Now repeat those exact words with your beloved 3 lbs in a rainy day.

Great video, and great bunch of Na

[jmmatos23]

@Basco36 Man, if I could get a piece of Na like this one I'd be really, really, really happy

[dukilaki]

@Basco36 can it catch in fire if its exposed to air or it just tanishes and is it easy to melt???

[Basco36]

@dukilaki if you leave it in air it just oxidizes into sodium hydroxide, yes its easy to melt

[dukilaki]

@Basco36 SO ITS SAFE FOR MELTING AND CORROSIVE BUT WHILE I MELT I CAN ADD BORAX TO STOP CORROSION

[Digadogup]

@Basco36 were all scared of the stuff because 3 OHS took it out of schools in australia , because we're a bunch of retards that put one foot in front of the other with out having someone to complain.

schools in australia are just aloud table salt

[mraiford]

@Digadogup WHAT?? I don't know how it is now in the U.S., but when I was in high school (early-mid 90's) one of my favorite demonstrations was our chem teacher chucking a few grams of Na into a water bucket. Heck, he gave some of us gloves after school and let us do the tossing.

[QuantumOverlord]

@Basco36 Sodium doesnt form sodium hydroxide in air, doesnt it just form Na2O. It forms NaOH in water.

[Basco36]

@QuantumOverlord there is water in the air that turn the sodium NaOH, If you burn the sodium would make

its oxide / peroxide

[QuantumOverlord]

@Basco36 thx

[hkparker]

3 POUNDS of sodium? I dont even wanna know haha

[flach99]

next time put it in some wet methanol

[gaurd5002]

I would shit my self it I had that much Na

[Phacias]

I love Your first reaction vessel :)

[eWaIcacer]

That's a shit load of Sodium. A small reaction would trigger a huge explosion.

[mewrox99]

I wouldn't be able to sleep if 3lb of Na was in my house

[mV33rs]

@mewrox99 me neither, i would be way too excited to mess with it hahahahaha

[zeldaLvr]

that's so cool, where on earth do you get

all these elements.. lol online? perhaps... >_>

[frizspin175]

i would be nervous handling that much sodium >.<

[Digadogup]

@frizspin175 thats what i thought
