Sodium . 100 gram in water

[JimBoopLoop]

where do you get sodium metal?

[3931Kong]

SHIT QUALITY

[TheIkaiss]

Did u film this with an eggplant

[kittygurlcutie]

Hey guys its sodium wraped in wax paper or somthing like that so it would not kill his hand i know it was hard to tell cuz of the video quality... and when so much sodium hits so much water at one time It takes a sec to react... Gosh if you where all the chemists you make make yourselfs out to be you would know this: reactions sometimes take a while... Magnesium will do the same thing if you wait for 30 minutes!

[JRhalo14]

i remember my science teacher got some sodium he cut off a sliver and dropped it in a beaker of water and the water lit on fire...

[donwaleed2]

Hey douche bag you cant hold sodium in your hand its so reactive :P

[JRhalo14]

@donwaleed2 no you can just your hand would start burning when it started to react

[SullyReviews]

did you film this with sodium

[EMRE55TURK]

There was a guy at our who tried to smuggle some natrium(i think it was natrium) to his house and later on he was caught and he was trying to get rid off the natrium so there wouldnt be evidence and u know what he did? HE THREW IT IN HIS TOIILET , the hole toilet was destroyed. Then every1 knew he did steal the Na.

[MooseJawGroup]

@EMRE55TURK  Na is sodium....

[ashlockk]

did you record this with your ballsac?

[Blackdisco80]

Press 7 over and over again for epic submachine gun shots ;)

[olegario39]

sodium? held with bare hands? really?

[kwokshsee]

Environmental Terror!!! Shame on you!

[carllito12]

These are lame. I want to see this done with a cubic foot of sodium. 

[channelmusic1]

240p , rlly ?? ahahah

[TheRisgar]

Just gonna add another "filmed with" comment

Filmed with a potato?

[MrBalonko]

He must be the terrorist :D.

[fkazuo24]

he was cooking the grenade!

[ArkiveX]

I remember a kid from my school attempting to steal a piece if potassium by putting it in his pocket... It reacted with the moisture and started to set his pocket on fire

[TheBmxRider4Life]

@ArkiveX Really? omg LOL

[jkbrowns12]

Touching sodium with your own skin... way to go, bro

[blackjeffrey1]

Since when can people hold a highly reactive metal in their hands without it reacting with their hands?

Also, whats with the wick?

Also, why so much time between hitting the water and exploding, like a firecracker?

Why not also put in a watermark saying "FAKE!!!" just to help the retards along?

[I360FlipStuff]

@blackjeffrey1 I think the delay and the reason for it not reacting with his hands is that there might have been a layer of wax on it to protect it.

[blackjeffrey1]

@I360FlipStuff Water doesn't wash wax of very well, if there was wax, the reaction would be even slower. It boils before exploding.

And that still doesn't explain the wick, and why it doesn't really look like sodium.

The reaction for sodium would be very different.

It looks and sounds like a firecracker.

[MrFegelein]

Wooden camera?

[Thatguyuh8]

Did you record this with a sony hand-held video recorder?

[nhol21]

It's weird that all bad quality vids on youtube, you'll find comments about a calculator

[Shemassault]

@nhol21 or:

did you record it with a banana?

did you record it with a bathtub?

did you record it with a dog?

etc....

[Misterb0z]

Fantastic pictures on your wiki page.

[montey1017]

cool!

[ThePizzahero1]

$100 for this little bang.

Imagine a firecracker for $100, i guess that would be way more effective

[okorned]

I've tried 12kg francium in my mother's soup and nothing happen

[nhojohn]

@okorned 12 kiligrams of francium would undergo spontanious nuclear fission.

[openarms332]

@okorned your joking right?

[wholtby]

@okorned im surprised your still alive assuming that francium is one of the most radioactive materials known to man and that the francium would have reacted with the soup (as it contains water molecules) and blown you to bits!

[Bjo15]

@okorned Theres not even 12kg's of existance ... so i hardly belive that ps one gram is like a handgrenade

[DeViLzX360]

@okorned

lol if you even touched francium for morethan a minute you would have radiation poisining

[Qxx11]

drop 10 kg of caesium into water!

[Blackopsundead]

@hardnotlife93 @TheWayneloh and the farther right you go the less reactive they are because they have more valence electrons

[rockthiskeyblade9]

Spongebob killer...

[Bludther15]

poor fishes!!!!!! -.-

[SPIFERPWNS]

Frag imbound!

[SPIFERPWNS]

Frag imbound!

[TheWayneloh]

That reaction is fast . Does the reaction time vary between different reactive metals ?

[hardnotlife93]

@TheWayneloh the farther down you get on the periodic table, the more reactive they are. This applies to soft shiny metals.

[magicalkitten1]

137 people had sweaty palms

[mrslig100]

disnarka

[Fergusforslipknot]

poor fish

[TheHowToPyroGuy]

Wow, almost 4 frames per second!

[oOWinterNightOo]

what kind of salt! regular table salt?

[tderr09]

@oOWinterNightOo this is not sodium cloride (table salt) this is the sodium element, which is metal. BIG DIFFERENCE.

[oOWinterNightOo]

@tderr09 damn it. where can i get this pure form of sodium?

[tderr09]

@oOWinterNightOo im not sure where you can get ahold of it haha or else i would have a few videos posted myself hahaha

[oOWinterNightOo]

@tderr09 haha? whats funny?

[sk8rm4n]

not raw sodiom cuz the instant your skin touches the soudiom it would burst into flames because of the oils and water and sweat on and in your hand so Hand and sodiom dont quite go well together

[sedmoagalnikful]

just toching sodium would kill you , it takes out water coz its hygroscopic ...

[AcidCannon]

@sedmoagalnikful

touching sodium won't kill you. it would just give you a burn if you held on long enough

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

use a chemical resistant glove with mineral oil and you can hold sodium just fine, just dont let water fall into your hand.

[DarkwarriorJ]

Spread the word: Sodium cup!!! (Or francium or potassium or..)

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

u know francium is radioactive and you lose half your francium every 21.8 minutes, and that only microscopic samples have been made in accelerators.

[olive1222]

im pretty sure there was something wrapping the sodium so that he could touch it.

[samjohnson437]

u touched sodium... uploaded this video... then died from washing your hands

[TheJoker710]

when u  touch sodium without anything just hand ur hands will be burn O_o how u did that idont know i just feel its rock :) buhh take care agin when u tuch sodium

[AATTOOMMBBOOMMBB]

is that a....geyser???

[musicalmario28]

Didn't it burn your hands?

[Injomniac]

yeah babe more more more!

my school teacher only put small bit of sodium lol. he scares

[thelegendbullet937]

I WANT SOMEEEE!! :D

[smackerboy123]

@thelegendbullet937 lol i can get 500g for a £10 :D

[DEvin3290]

fuck all the fish, blow up their habitat. way to be

[HughJassization]

@DEvin3290 Fuck off dude, its a tiny amount and its not like they do it repeatedly every day. I mean seriously, fuck off.

[DEvin3290]

you got it fuckin hillbilly@HughJassization

[AmusingYeti]

Great quality, what is this full 1080p?

[i7full]

did you record that with a calculator?

[i7full]

if you touch sodium your hand catches fire (as per my teacher)

[BenHutchinson1]

Looks like a grenade!

[nafaidni]

Explosion? More like a rock hitting the water in a laggy video game.

[StillRottenToTheGore]

@nafaidni LOL

[hateWinVista]

Sodium V.S. Sulfuric Acid will be cooler

[machinegunmana]

would look better at more than 1fps

[EPICGUYDUDE]

lithium doesnt blow. sodium blows biggest. cesium blows fasterst.

[BluKing6]

@EPICGUYDUDE No, Cesium has the biggest explosion

[jatm3000]

@BluKing6 francium is the largest its just nobody will be able to throw it into water because its so radioactive.

[BluKing6]

@jatm3000 For all practical purposes cesium has the largest explosion. Francium has never even been reacted with water.

[Reallaty]

@BluKing6 and francium even bigger lol

[thelegendbullet937]

@Reallaty

Can u imagine a bowling ball size chunk of francium being dropped in a lake? OHHH MYYYY GAWWWWSH!!! ... run

[ronan839]

@thelegendbullet937 francium can't even be exposed to AIR. you wouldn't need a lake.

[robertfrade]

i guess after spending all your money on 100 grams of sodium there was no money let for a decent camera

[MrFisturmom]

my science teach did a demonstration with sodium and water. half the size of your fingernail was enought to make a bigger boom than that. obviously this guy left it in oil too long or didnt wipe it off properly

[gf78ew720]

100 grams my

 fucking ass

[cricket962]

why didnt it react to the air? , dont they keep that stuff under kerocine? (water vapor in the air\humidity) it would decay no?

[ramarrevan]

@cricket962 you cover it in oil.

[dawnofthesandro]

nice diashow

[xxXDCXxxx]

dont hold it without gloves.. it will react with the moisture in ur hamd

[mapleguy1029384756]

Did you record this with a calculator?

[Whitefire240]

@mapleguy1029384756 I LOL'D.

[lightsuit]

@mapleguy1029384756

I believe it was a potato

[jjovereats]

@mapleguy1029384756 Maybe:::: maybe he has a smartcal: a calculator that can record 180x240, stretching it to 320x240 and saving on sdhc.

[MikeHuntagape]

Buy a new camera instead of sodium

[cycrocism]

Under no circumstances should sodium touch bare skin

[mewrox99]

@cycrocism

Seconded. It is dehydrating and forms highly corrosive NaOH. It will result in thermal and chemical burns from the reaction with moisture in skin

[marktka]

@mewrox99 For a brief period of time, like this, there's no danger. Solid sodium like this is usually kept in paraffin oil or similar anyway so you have a bit of time to handle it before it begins to react with the air or moisture in your hands. Hence it doesn't go off as soon as it hits the water.

[dangermouse5000]

@cycrocism sozard nerd boy

[traxxaslover100]

Camera fail

[jhorb4]

Fake, like all the other comments said, the sodium would've reacted longg before he threw it, unless if it was in some sort of water-dissolving film.

[pifreak314]

this video is crap. If you put 100g of sodium in water you would know to tape it well.

[staliyo]

just looks like a big rock, just sayin'

[HeyItsMeDaniel]

It most likely is. You cant just hold Sodium with your bare hands.

[AzzyTay]

Sweaty palms + Sodium = FAIL

[BenHutchinson1]

@AzzyTay

Does sweaty hands + sodium produce enough heat to burn you?

[superdarkhypersonic1]

@AzzyTay THAT WOULD SUCK!

[altoids79762]

@AzzyTay but doesnt your hand contain salt?so the salt in your sweat would neutrilize the reaction cause salt is made of sodium

[nybotheveg]

@altoids79762 sodium doesnt react with sodiumchloride(salt.)

[Adgaverry]

@AzzyTay LOL...i can imagine..."okay guess lets do this im pretty scared...BOOM"

[XXXkLeCiIj69XXX]

@AzzyTay Francium + Sweaty palms = EPIC FAIL

[Pr0ject2]

@AzzyTay haha yep. I found that out. Didnt do much though just fizzed a bit.

[DiscountElements]

@HeyItsMeDaniel I understand why you would think that, but I know from personal experience that you can certainly hold sodium with your bare hands (so long as they are not wet). You can flatten and bend a piece of sodium metal with your fingers like putty. After a while, it will start to get a bit warm.

[AI913]

How much is that?

[UFGLegend]

vitorix24 reacts with just about anything, there is only 20-30 grams of it in the world at anyone time because it is so hard to isolate. and everytime you take a step down in the periodic table in the alkaline family the reactivity increases by 10 times i believe not too sure on that but its alot so sodium is the second and francium is the last so do the math that's a lot lol.

[kc0yed]

^10 not x10

[mewrox99]

u should wear gloves when handling sodium. It is corrosive.

[OneCompHelp]

@mewrox99 No. I touched a piece in class it didn't do anything >_>

[antiswattt2]

corrosive?? you sure o.O its a metal.. dont you just think its reacting with the sweat on your hands or the air?

[xxFlghterXxx]

holy shit. that's a big chunk you got there

[TheKb135]

wow imagine francium

[vitorix24]

@TheKb135 francium reats 3x more violent. but dont react with atomic bomb.

[goxdie000]

@vitorix24

more like 30x

[vitorix24]

yes... =)

[Flomounier1]

this is the sodium alkali metal right?

[hcmatiss]

@Flomounier1 Yes.

[Hellenbrecht]

It is my understanding that it creates a thick cloud of mist following the explosion. Do precautions have to be taken to avoid breathing this in?

I dont wanna do this in my pond if I will be breathing in dangerous fumes.

Please reply, thanks in advance

[freakin1random]

not even. By the way, dont fucking hold it like this retard. Well, not a retard, just not a good example. This kid stole some sodium from our school a few years back, put it in his back pocket. He now has no hip.

[RetardPwnage]

Unless, while wearing his pants he went swimming or was forcefully held underwater long enough for the Sodium to heat up and explode than I call bullshit. (Do the people where you live make a habit of bathing (if at all) fully clothed?)

It's always nice to end a soapbox science lecture with a fairytale parable. "I knew a kid once who loved to run around with a pair of scissors, he now has no head."

Your intentions were pure, but you come off sounding like a dickhead.

[freakin1random]

thats what i thought too, but it ate through both his pants and his hip. btw it was about the size of a softball.

[TheCaptainLulz]

@Hellenbrecht the mist is water vapour and hydrogen gas. it is not toxic but can be highly flamable i the hydrogen did not burn off. if the hydrogen did burn, than the mist is just that, mist, and is harmless.

[soylentgreenb]

It's sodium hydroxide and water droplets.

Sodium hydroxide is lye; a strong base used among other to disolve hair and other things clogging up a shower drain or to slowly turn fat into soap.

It's not a cumulative poison like lead or something.

[poodlelord]

still my question remains as to how did you get the sodium.

[Turok2evil]

@poodlelord

10 bucks says he got it off the internet ..

>.>

[znagy93]

FAKE

just try to hold a piece of sodium in your hands

[glamgirl871]

what would happen if i tried to hold a piece of sodium in my hands without gloves? I'm not dumb its just science sucked to me cuz of my awful teacher LOL

[znagy93]

Sodium and water (for example water of your hand) make intensive reaction with a lot of heat, so your hands will be burned, and if it's not enough, the sodium-hidroxide is a very strong base.

[glamgirl871]

uh oh i better stay away from sodium and water if it'll burn my hand lol

[thegreatMSG]

@znagy93 If your hand is REALLY DRY enough.... XD

[znagy93]

If your hands dry enough, you may be just a bucket of cinder, or you have wooden hand xD

The other missing think is the specific yelow flame of the reaction.

So i still think FAKE :D

[Turok2evil]

@znagy93

it was rapped

[PlasmaPiano]

you are right, dont thumbs down this guy. sodium reacts with body tissue, it would potentially harm you by holding sodium.

[bestSVMS]

so the only reason sodium explode is because it breaks apart water into hydrogen, which catches on fire and explodes? So you could do same thing if you collected gas from electrolosis?

[PriTommy]

@bestSVMS large amount of heat released is also a key factor

[ExplosiveScience]

Not as much energy. Much of the energy in the reaction comes from the sodium reacting with the water, however hydrogen is still pretty loud, but sodium is by far more explosive, I have experience with both chemicals and have a video on each.

[akickintheteeth0]

the oil isnt to stop it from exploding in the air, it is to stop it from tarnishing or oxidising. this is to show students what it looks like before it reacts with the oxygen in the air. there is no where near enough hydrogen in the air for it to react in air. remember all reactive elements want to do is become more stable. btw i am a chemistry teacher and by coincidence did this experiment with one of my classes today

[ExplosiveScience]

Agreed, I have kept sodium in the air for many hours and nothing happens except it oxidizes. there are many misconceptions about sodium and that is one of them. At the same time, the MSDS says it can catch on fire if exposed to oxygen, I think this is done as a precaution to account for variable temperature, humidity, elevation, oxygen concentration, etc.

[systemmechanic7932]

haha try that with cesium.... or bbetter yet francium

[MCDogg50]

science is boring :/ mah

[chimanruler15]

Don't touch sodium either. It's very dangerous.

[kjknohw]

Yea, it will react with skin moisture to make lye.

[msbehavin909]

you incompetant fools. it way neither a rock nor a fire cracker. sodium explodes in contact with air and water. he had it covered in mineral oil, therefore it didnt explode in his hand. sodium is extremely reactive. my old science teacher recieved a few grams of mineral oil-covered sodium in a plastic bottle in a sealed plactic bag in another bag in a can in a cardborad box in two more layers of plastic bags. its dangerous.

[chimanruler15]

Yeah, you're right. People put oil over sodium to keep it from exploding in the air. Sodium should be handled carefully and so should all other alkali metals. ^_^

[ExplosiveScience]

sodium does not explode in air, I have some and I have taken it out in air and dried it off. I have even melted it in air, does not explode. Even in water, if in small amounts, it doesn't even catch on fire. If you do more than half a gram, it can sometimes spark and catch on fire, or on rare occasions explode, but usually you must heat the water, or use at least five grams to make an explosion in water. In air, no amount will go off on its own.

[KEngel1021]

Not so. Even small amounts can very easily catch on fire. I have taken a piece of sodium the size of a small sugar cube and have thrown it outside on my porch on a rainy day and have seen it explode just like a firecracker. Check out my video: "Sodium in Ethanol and Water Uploaded to YouTube" and see the very last experiment where I put a small piece in a test tube full of water.

[ExplosiveScience]

The sheer number of factors must be kept in mine, I am simply talking from my experience (I also have a video). On a rainy day, I will agree they can catch fire, and a piece the size of a sugar cube would be about a gram if not more. My vid is called "sodium metal". I also have another interesting one called "sodium and iodine". Less than half a gram in a large volume of water may spark, but will usually not sustain a flame if the water is room temperature. This is just my experience.

[derick1259]

my teacher kept it in a bottle. ad he touched a small bit with his bare hands.

[dallasb94]

firecracker stuck to a rock

[TheNew999]

It's a rock !!

You can't touch sodium like that it might be explosion.

Why you ... STUPID!!!!!!!!!!

[TheNoobyNoobNoob]

fukin idiot, its a rock and if you show us the flames that would be good

[vitorix24]

lol. try 100g ceasium.. ;D

[Danielst16]

OMG I wonder how much that cost him for like three seconds worth of video.

[DrModd]

He paid nothing cuz he stole it from school lab:)

[goingtoeatpizza]

you would think the dick head would at least get a decent camera and not hold it

[wombat581]

looks like dry ice . . . and sodium doesint blow up on contact

its moves around on the water

[habbopassload]

It does, if it's a large amount

[Dylanorr16063]

sodium blows up if theres enough of it dork

[goingtoeatpizza]

the experiment you saw in science class will only ever be a tiny amount of sodium, get enough of it in water at once and it will explode.

[finbaa]

sodium would react with the moisture on your skin so im guessing this wasnt sodium

[vitorebom]

he cant hold sodium on his hand without losing it... or wiping it dry first
