Vanadium - Periodic Table of Videos

[liquid49286]

I got vanadium in my vitamins

[douro20]

There probably aren't very many people who have heard of a vanadium redox battery. It uses vanadium ions in two different oxidation states in a solution of sulfuric acid.

[BeefotronX]

Vanadium steel is some nice stuff. Knives made out of it take a razor sharp edge very easily.

[TheItalianPerson]

Vanadium Redox batteries!

[douro20]

Ammonium metavanadate, NH4VO3, is used to make Mandelin's reagent, which is used along with Marquis reagent in presumptive drug testing. It's also quite toxic and mutagenic in many species.

... and you can see that it's about 0.1 mm in diameter... a truely well-trained scientist. LoL

[xja85mac]

...not to mention the "chrom-vanadium" alloy used for screwdrivers and all sorts of metalware and tools.

[ChemCrazy81]

suggestion: maybe reduce an acidic solution of vanadium (V) with zinc amalgam? for a new video? yellow -> blue -> green -> lilac with varying amounts of shaking

[ARHBritain]

Very intresting.

[stuntpea]

Grade 5 Titanium uses 4% Vanadium. It's really tough. I've broken a lathe and loads of tools cutting grade 5 titanium.

[douro20]

@stuntpea

Yep; that's why it's called 6Al-4V. It is 6% aluminum and 4% vanadium.

[FamilyofSupernatural]

@douro20 I thought 4V meant 4-volt!

[jgdavila236]

omg i cant get this video in my powerpoint!! help?

[TeronGorefiendxxx]

it is called after vanadis (one name of the germanic god freyja).

[octaneblue6]

@TeronGorefiendxxx no one cares



[trespire]

Professional quality tools sometimes have a Crome Vanadium (CV) finnish. The finnish is very hard, wear resistant, protects from corrosion.

[jsullivan05]

@trespire I did not know what CV meant... thank you

[Theguitarguy97]

Does anybody know the cost of vanadium? If not a sight that says the cst? I am doing a school project and have everything except the cost...

[mynameisdarthtater]

Vanadium is also an extremely effective spermicide.

[jimday666]

lol, that was money well spent :)

[OyVeey]

I humbly suggest that you demonstrate the different colors of vanadium salts. If you plan to redo this video, you might want to demonstrate the colored substances formed when sodium vanadate is dissolved in acid and mixed with zinc amalgam.

[andrerds2]

will PENTOXIDO of vanadium and controlled?

[lbruceolson]

You can extract an appreciable amount of the metal from Spam luncheon meat.

[sciencefreeak]

can you take vanadium out of mushrooms

[KarbineKyle]

I like this guy, he's a genius! I love science! Too bad I didn't learn squat in grade school! Most of my teachers were idiots... I've learned more on my own then I EVER did at school! 5/5!

[AssemblerGuy]

I think that guy with the vanadium hexacarbonyl learned a lesson: There's a reason why the suppliers ship stuff in annoyingly-difficult-to-open containers...

[1701treckie]

BORING!!!!!

[EnragedSephiroth]

Poor guy, his money literally burst into flames and vanished before his eyes.

[EnragedSephiroth]

No lo leyi, pendejo.

[chris536343]

Could you please make a newer version of this video, perhaps showing the various oxidation states vanadium can exist it. I've learnt about them at A-Level, but I'm yet to see all of them!

[DarthZeww]

Science is awesome, I'm glad I paid attention in school :D

[vernerivv]

wow thats really neat. i hope to be a chemist someday!

[DaB0SS10]

WOW!! me too! i have dreams about being a chemist too. we should become friends and talk about our favorite elements later.

[Gibblatron]

LAWL

[LulJam]

pedophile?

[ElveeKaye]

It's a good thing the guy didn't pour the vanadium onto his hand!

[ThatGuyFromAustria]

They did not mention that Vanadium ist quite important to make very tough steel with, stell that is used for tools etc.

[cmcshane06]

Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) is also used as a catalyst in the contact process for making concentrated sulphuric acid.

[andrerds2]

Vanadium pentoxide is controlled? by the police? army?

[CarnalDiafragma]

@andrerds2

No why? I can buy vanadium pentoxide at my ceramics store without any problems.

[temporaldisplacement]

@andrerds2 The police, the navy and the millitary police most likley.

[windowlicker1]

that story at the end is hilarious

[vmelkon]

mushrooms eh?

[CharlieBBoy12345]

best shot of the hair yet.

[maekern]

Come for the education...stay for the hair.

[Ocre]

great series of videos!
