Making sodium chloride (NaCl = table salt) by neutralization

[armanii96ify]

@ ChemExperimentalist Hello Sir! Could be helpful enough to answer one question that I can't figure out. It's the following: A chemical company would like to increase its production of sodium chloride used for de-icing roads. And basically they want me to give suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

Great visual. Love the music and editing. Where did you get HCL from?

[ChemExperimentalist]

@themanskillet Thanks :) I bought mine from a hardware store, 33%. If you want to have some, look for "Muriatic acid", that´s HCl. Please subscribe for more great videos :)

[BunnyOmelette]

I was wondering about the results - apart from the balanced equation. Now I get to see it.

Thank you.

[DestructoMonkey]

How the hell do you get hydrogen gas... he did the (basic as you can get) stoichiometry and there is no H2 there.. just water..

Wat.

[ScienceTry]

Funny how you should be knowing as an amateur chemist that this doesn't make any hydrogen gas as a product.

[a1starrynite]

This is very cool... but I have a question; if you can't eat the resulting NaCL then what else can it be used for?

[thegodofchemistry]

@a1starrynite nothing you can just buy salt this is just for chemistry

[chocolatefreakbritt]

Like I saw 33% but like 3M or what?

[chocolatefreakbritt]

I need know asap what concetration the HCL you used was?? THANKS!

[1crsv1]

So... what were the gloves for exactly?!!....

[ChemExperimentalist]

@1crsv1 When handling with hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide, gloves must be present. These are very corrosive chemicals.

[1crsv1]

@ChemExperimentalist i was being sarcastic... you didn´t use the gloves at all...

[ChemExperimentalist]

@1crsv1 Well if i burn my hands, it´s my problem. I just dont want to make my viewers burn themselves, I care about my viewers. Just take it easy ;)

[SuperMadgamerz]

Im 13 and i understand this well and the water molecule does not go in that equation....it would work but the law of conservation of energy is in place so you would need 2 more hydrogen atoms on the right side of the equation (forgot its name at the moment) sorry i just dont like people giving out wrong information

[marcusduck]

Acid + Metal = Salt + Hydrogen gas?

[easm1991]

@marcusduck Acid+metal = oxidated metal + reduced acid.

This is called a "redox" reaction (reduction-oxidation). The metal gets oxidated by gaining the ion of the acid. The Hydrogen then releases in gas, meaning that the acid got "reduced".

example: Zn(s) + 2HCl(ac) ---> ZnCl2(s) + H2(g) . Notice that this doesn't always happen, it depends of the "activity series of metals". For example, gold won't get oxidated in this case. So yes: acid + metal = salt + hydrogen gas.

Sorry for my english.

[PaladinswordSaurfang]

What is the concentration of the hydrochloric acid?

[ChemExperimentalist]

@PaladinswordSaurfang 33% I think

[ViniciusFiocco]

the correct wasn't:

HCl + Na(OH) => NaCl + H2O

?

Anyway, I ever wanted to see these reactions that we study at school. It makes it more interesting...

[NeoChemist10]

i love your videos , but you are wrong. when you put HCl on the NaOH hydrogen gas is not produced. its steam , from water, cause this reaction is exotermic.

sorry to bother you.

[ChemExperimentalist]

@NeoChemist10 Hello, pleae read the @pogo108 ´s comment : Because the gas that is left off IS hydrogen but once it meets the O2 in the air, it becomes H2O just like shown in the equation... Get it?. Sometimes it´s better to look on comments before you ask. But thank you for your comment. :)

[MZKEYIA]

ouuuuu , can i use peroxide replace the hydrochloric acid ?? lol

[FrankJohnLi]

I'm in awe, thank you :)

[aimee7aimee]

I need to make 1.00g of NaCl,but i am confused on how much NaOH i need and HCI

[Gilley31]

Why is hydrogen gas let off?

[pogo108]

@Gilley31 Because the gas that is left off IS hydrogen but once it meets the O2 in the air, it becomes H2O just like shown in the equation... Get it?

[krazysmurf911]

That was the best reaction ever.. And I thought calcium and water was fun. Or was it calcium and HCL?

[0990099009900990]

wow thank you !!! Im gonna do that!!!

[dukilaki]

ugly reaction

[ChemExperimentalist]

@dukilaki Ugly for a laic, beautiful for a chemist.

[dukilaki]

@ChemExperimentalist im chemist but i hate fumes of acids

[Zircon1981]

Hi. I didn't understand why you write about "produces large quantity of hydrogen gas" - it's imposible, because the reaction is: NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O - Boiling occurs because substances are in the concentrated conditions and very active. Mix the diluted solutions of these substances - "gas" will not to be. "Gas" is an allocation of warmth, this is an exothermal reaction.

[MasterCritic7]

i was gunna be like YEAH a new effective way to get some salt for some soup and then you were like "do not eat" and i was like Darn.

[norisak]

WTF? No safety gloves when dealing with Hydrochloric acid?!?

[ChemExperimentalist]

@norisak I was extremly careful. I´m not telling you that you dont have to wear gloves... Safety !!!!

[starshock01]

what a waste of an acid and a base...

[colino9mam]

SAAAALT !

[Iloveshoooo90]

NaOH + HCl + H2O???

I think it's ' NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O ' .

you didn't even add a small amount of water.. if you add a small amount of water, the chem. action would be balanced too.. your chem. equation is balanced but it doesn't depend on your experiment. =) anyways, I like your video. =)

[ChemExperimentalist]

@Iloveshoooo90 you´re right :-) thanks :-)

[promugg]

@Iloveshoooo90 Sodium hydroxide is a Deliquescent material, this means it is Hygroscopic, and that means it absorbs water. If a Deliquescent material is exposed to the atmosphere it will suck water from it. this is where the water comes from.

[MrUkete]

Hehe i am 100% sure that you guys ask for that because you are going to make it to the final exsames.. I am also in the same situation, actually i am going tomorrow... *WISH ME LUCK*

[ChemExperimentalist]

@MrUkete Ok dude, i wish you luck, but seriously, what are you talking about ???

[sajdsdasio]

why cant you eat it if it's just table salt?

[Kukkaloota]

@sajdsdasio There can be some chem-leftovers from the reaction and I bet that your tummy doesn't like those.

I think that you want to filter those out and filter again and again etc and then dry it.

Or so I think.

[ChemExperimentalist]

@sajdsdasio Well, it´s not regular table salt. It´s made from reaction, you never know, if any chemical left in this product... If you really want to, just evaporate it and you have solid crystals.

[Kukkaloota]

Were those "pure " (~98%) NaOH(s)-pellets?

[ChemExperimentalist]

@Kukkaloota No, just home chemicals, because I´m showing you the way with chemicals, that you could have in your home...

[Kukkaloota]

@ChemExperimentalist Okkay, gotta make my own equation for my mats :D
