"sulfuric acid isn't that dangerous"...... as a top comment? what do you work as, a window licker? (for the record, like many other have said, its dangerous, and will burn you, come on read the MSDS)
Sorry to be a pain but there is a lot of bad advise here. 18M H2SO4 is very strong and will fucking burn the crap out of your skin in multiple ways. Of course it won't kill you but that dosen't make it any safer. I've worked with it. Never minimize the risks of it.
I still find this video pointless, but interesting for the sake of chemistry. But 30% HCl can be found in any hardware store, and bought without any problems.
Darkpigion mentioned that h2s04 is a colourless solution. yes, in solution, but anhydrous h2s04 (which is not a chemical in solution) is a yellowish oily liquid. 18M DOES NOT mean "fully concentrated" it means there are 18 moles of h2s04 atoms per liter of water.
18M, or anhydrous sulfuric acid, is EXTREMELY dangerous, i have been personally burned by that acid and it is instant and very painful.
@lulzwhot The formal definition of 'caustic' is: "Able to burn or corrode organic tissue by chemical action." And it does not only apply to bases, even though it's mostly used in relation to NaOH or KOH.
The amount of retarded posts is astounding. Anhydrous sulfuric is in fact an oily liquid. 18 molar sulfuric acid, if you get it on your skin, will cause serious chemical burns almost instantly. I'm sure most of the people commenting have never actually dealt with any of these chemicals, For example "EnhanceTheTruth" mentioned that h2so4 is caustic; the word caustic is only applied to bases (the opposite of acids).
I have read about only a few acids, and how they don't actually dissolve items like metal or glass, but they superheat the items to their melting point. Like Sulfuric, and Nitric acid can be contained in glass and no problem, but Hydrochloric Acid will start to melt glass, so how do you contain it, without it melting out you testing flasks? I want it to stay pure as possible, I surely do not wish to dilute it??
Hydrochloric acid doesn't attack glass, but many metals, except noble metals like copper, silver, gold, platinum. Lead isn't a noble metal, but it isn't dissolved by HCl neither because of the insolubility of Lead Chloride into HCl, which forms a protective layer. Glass can chemically be attacked by Hydrofluoric acid, which is not only corrosive but also very toxic.
@Dantedevil1005 I think that's citric acid, if there is hydrocholoric acid in that, it's very little, putting lemon juice on your skin won't burn you after all.
There are only traces of Iodine in iodized table-salt (Iodine is added here by sodium iodate (NaIO3), which is stable on the air. Iodides (like NaI) many get oxidized by the oxygen of the air (it works when they are in an aequous solution) and might form brown residues of elemental Iodine. Since Hydrogenchloride is a gas it has to be adsorbed by water in the receiver. A maximun concentration of 40% by weight is possible. Here I think, are not more than 20% possible.
There are several ways - you could react a metabisulfite with an acid and generate SO2 gas and lead it into H2O2 to add oxygens, or you could do an electrolysis of copper sulfate solution using a copper cathode and carbon anode.
I once spilled 14 or 16M nitric acid on my arm. It turned green and smoked where the acid hit it. And burned like a sumbitch. But that's nitric not sulfuric.
@EnhanceTheTruth agreed, though 18M is pretty harsh. If you were to take standard car battery acid (from your usual open lead-acid style batt) and add it to salt, I am thinking that the result would be HCl with a molarity similar to that of stomach acid. I have consumed car battery acid (from a weak battery so slightly lower molarity) on tongue down throat etc with no damage. strength was much like that of lemon extract or stomach acid.
I don't agree: Sulphuric acid (especially the concentrated acid) is a very dangerous liquid. It is a strong acid (which is used to release other acid from their salts, like HCl in this video) and causes servere burns on skin and other materials.
An additional aspect is it's hygroscopic property which carbonises organic matter (like human skin) at the spot. When I deal with it, I am always aware of the danger of H2SO4 and wear protective goggles and gloves.
@EnhanceTheTruth LOL OK then, concentrated sulfuric acid is a thick yellow oil. The stuff you're talking about is dilute. Like battery acid for example. Conc S. Acid will fuck you up.
@EnhanceTheTruth Not that dangerous? It is usually known to be potentially more dangerous than HCl. Not only is it highly caustic (corrosive) and can damage tissues such as skin, the violent exothermic reaction with water can also provide more skin/tissue damage. It will also decompose amides and esters easily (muscles and fat). It also depends of course on concentration. Never minimize the risks of dangerous chemicals.
Because you can, chemistry is about seeing what you can accomplish and how you can accomplish it. Sure you could use sulfuric acid, or just buy hydrochloric acid, but most people who have a passion for chemistry and science like myself would much rather see if we could make something rather then buy it.
@PaladinswordSaurfang If you need pure sodium chloride instead of iodized table salt(which wont work), you can get some laundry bleach(Sodium Hypochlorite - NaOCl) and add hydrogen peroxide (HOOH) til its fully reacted.... youll get pure oxygen(O2) gas and sodium chloride(NaCl).
First of all, purifying it would first require me to know what the source of the NaCl was.
And second of all... distillation is a process that usually involves liquids.... sodium chloride is a solid....
For instance... If you wanted to purify the NaCl from a KI (potassium iodide) mixture of iodized salt(which actually contains more chemicals than just those 2)....
Youd have to boil off the salt with the lower boiling point... KI, which takes a heat of 2426 °F
@punkskamp420 if you bought pure sodium chloride, then it would work fine... most sea-salt contains sodium, potassium, magnesium, sulfate ions, chlorine..... you have to use other methods, distillation is not how you would do it.
@punkskamp420 A better method than "distillation" would be decantation.... distillation would only remove the water from the ions in the water... and most tap water has been fluoridated.... so you would just separate the water from the sodium chloride and fluorine.
@punkskamp420 one method that you could use to purify sodium chloride from potassium iodide would probably involve dissolving both of them in a large tank of water and the heaver salts should sink to the bottom of the mixture.... then you could decant the part of the liquid containing the KI off of the part containing the NaCl....
Probably a forced crystallisation might work: you start with a mixture of both salts (NaCl / KI) in water and allow the water to evaporate. First the salt with the lower solubilty (NaCl) will start to from crystals, while the KI remains in solution. Since NaCl is cheap and KI is relatively expansive (Iodine is a rather rare element), you'd remove the NaCl by filtration and discard it. Then when more and more water evaporates, KI will also start to crystalize.
@ribman1998 Look up titration. You'd get a very accurate amount of your HCL solution and see how much of a know strength base it takes to neutralise it.
I got into chemistry in the first place because I read in the paper that it was easy to find out how to make meth on the internet. So i looked it up, and looked it up until I found a way to do it that I could understand. Then I looked up how other drugs are made. 10 Years later Im still fascinated with chemistry and I am glad I was able to find the methamphetamine synthesis. Information is not a crime, use your better judgement and don't be a criminal.
well, you may not be able to buy high concentration of sulfuric acid, but still, if you know your stuff, you can do it... still... better to learn first abou chemistry then... experiment.
Great video...it used to be that Chemistry was a required class in high school but the corporatists have all but banned knowledge of chemistry! These videos are educational and fascinating! Just hope no one blows himself up playing around with chemicals!
Ok, what if, for example, you trip and the bottle and you end up on the floor . . .you could potentially end up with your hands and face in it. There is an endless amount of ways it could contact you, so always wear gloves. Experience; chemist.
@98JMA im a chemist (: but if i trow a bottle on the ground for whatever reason i will stay clear of the area immediatly until i clean it all up. and gloves wont help you if acid spills onto your face for whatever reason. wearing protective goggles and having working emergency equipment nearby is much more important. especialy running water and the possibility to shower within seconds of exposure.
H2SO4 is actually quite easy to obtain. Just drain the cells of a 12V car battery, filter out the lead, and boil it down to your preference. It may not be the purest of acid but it will surely get the job done. Though, I'm not sure if it would yield the best HCl in this reaction due to the impurities in the battery.
@jonalululy They both serve different purposes actually. And he shows the H2SO4 to be 18Molar so you can imagine the strength of the HCl produced. You cant buy Extremely strong HCl from the hardware store
@ImmaDwarfKicker No I think it requires a certain license for that which he is using in the video. Its pointless productivity wise. Its just showing off the experimental side of things. You can buy Hydrochloric acid (Suppose you could probably buy weak Sulphuric too) but again not very concentrated.
@humwangerdoodle i tested Rooto for the purity of the sulfuric acid in it, and it was 95, and liquid fire seems to have the same quality and react-ability probably no more than 10% difference if any, i love nice sulferic acid
@jonalululy Actually, you can get 2 gallons of hydrochloric acid for cheap at most hardware stores. Also, some people are more interested in the chemistry than you might be.
Its important to not use iodized salt... or youll get hydrochloric acid and hydroiodic acid and a couple other pieces of crap.... cause theres 4 chemicals in iodized salt
does HCl gas condense if you used a distillation let up? and you would get better yeild if you were to use H2O2 instead of water and does the reaction of NaHSO4 and NaCl also make HCl gas when they are both molten together?
Anyone who tries this at home should wear at least an air-filtrate mask and hopefully a respirator of some sort, the gas produced can kill you quite easily by scaring your lungs.
wait, how could this be??? in physical chemistry, the NaCl has a strong attraction force?? how could he easily replace NaCl and H2SO4 to HCl and NaHSO4
@Lloydy9101 Because hydrogen is just as "willing" (for lack of a better word) as sodium to give an electron to chlorine and obtain a full valence configuration. In addition, I highly doubt that was pure sulfuric acid - I suspect it was an aqueous solution, and since the sodium and chloride ions would have dissociated in the water the chloride ions would have been free to combine with hydrogen atoms from the sulfuric acid.
It's a nice video, but you again show your lack of safety. You're not wearing gloves while pouring concentrated acid, and you're heating borosilicate flask over naked flame. One day it will crack or burst.
Also, you can't shove a glass tube with pouring HCl in water. There is a great chance it will be violently sucked in the reaction vessel.
It's great you enjoy experimenting, but you should really examine what can go wrong before actually doing something in the lab.
@quexalcoatl Ok, I agree with the reaction NaCl +H2SO4---HCl+ NaSO, but is the NaSO in form of those white fumes? or is a precipitate at the bottom of the flask? or is it dissolved in the HCl solution? I mean a physical form for NaSO. Thanks!!
So, Dr. Basco #36 You just made toilet bowl cleaner. But how much did you save? I think I can get it pretty cheap. I'll just buy my own - thanks anyway.

@officialdemo if you're just looking for a badass acid that'll eat through anything then I suppose H2SO4 would be a better choice than HCl. H2SO4 in itself isn't that badass though. Add some concentrated H2O2 and you've got pirhana solution. Aqua regia is more badass than H2SO4 since it can dissolve noble metals. Wanna see a real badass acid look up HF on youtube. Theres more to acids than just protonation.
I still don't understand why people use acid to make acid. I get it from a laboratory standpoint, like if you don't have one acid on hand and you need another one, but people would love to see a way to make good acid with available materials.
@Flumphinator Well in this case it would be useful to make HCl (which is a gas) to bubble through something. For example I want to protonate an amine. However, a protonated amine is water soluble so concentrated HCl (liquid) wouldn't really work. But if you bubble HCl gas through the amine in diethyl ether it would just precipitate out and bingo you have your product.
@gps93 society is just incredibly ignorant they see a chemical reaction and immediately think METH LAB because all they know about chemistry is drugs. Same goes for everything with any depth in life. They simply see one incredibly stupid use out of something incredibly useful, and they immediately assume its always used for their dumb use.
@fwesh1 You would not believe how many times I've been asked if I'm studying chemistry for the sake of making drugs, less common is the assumption that you're going to make explosives. The ignorant are always so blind to the fact that there are people out there who like to learn for leisure.

Go into a pitch black dark room, mix the two gasses.... stand back and shine a light on them.
They'll explode and form Hydrogen Chloride.

H2SO4 is actually quite easy to obtain. Just drain the cells of a 12V car battery, filter out the lead, and boil it down to your preference. It may not be the purest of acid but it will surely get the job done. Though, I'm not sure if it would yield the best HCl in this reaction due to the impurities in the battery.

@jonalululy They both serve different purposes actually. And he shows the H2SO4 to be 18Molar so you can imagine the strength of the HCl produced. You cant buy Extremely strong HCl from the hardware store

@humwangerdoodle but you can buy highly concentrated sulfuric acid at the hardware store? I'm genuinely asking, i don't know.

@ImmaDwarfKicker No I think it requires a certain license for that which he is using in the video. Its pointless productivity wise. Its just showing off the experimental side of things. You can buy Hydrochloric acid (Suppose you could probably buy weak Sulphuric too) but again not very concentrated.

@humwangerdoodle i tested Rooto for the purity of the sulfuric acid in it, and it was 95, and liquid fire seems to have the same quality and react-ability probably no more than 10% difference if any, i love nice sulferic acid

does HCl gas condense if you used a distillation let up? and you would get better yeild if you were to use H2O2 instead of water and does the reaction of NaHSO4 and NaCl also make HCl gas when they are both molten together?

wait, how could this be??? in physical chemistry, the NaCl has a strong attraction force?? how could he easily replace NaCl and H2SO4 to HCl and NaHSO4
Lloydy9101 11 months ago
@Lloydy9101 Because hydrogen is just as "willing" (for lack of a better word) as sodium to give an electron to chlorine and obtain a full valence configuration. In addition, I highly doubt that was pure sulfuric acid - I suspect it was an aqueous solution, and since the sodium and chloride ions would have dissociated in the water the chloride ions would have been free to combine with hydrogen atoms from the sulfuric acid.

taigi100 11 months ago
It's a nice video, but you again show your lack of safety. You're not wearing gloves while pouring concentrated acid, and you're heating borosilicate flask over naked flame. One day it will crack or burst.
Also, you can't shove a glass tube with pouring HCl in water. There is a great chance it will be violently sucked in the reaction vessel.
It's great you enjoy experimenting, but you should really examine what can go wrong before actually doing something in the lab.

@SuperMrBentley single displacement! it's in the reactant vessel but it's on the right side as a product still.
Does this look right?: NaCl+H2SO4 -> HCl + NaSO (unbalanaced)
quexalcoatl 11 months ago
@quexalcoatl Ok, I agree with the reaction NaCl +H2SO4---HCl+ NaSO, but is the NaSO in form of those white fumes? or is a precipitate at the bottom of the flask? or is it dissolved in the HCl solution? I mean a physical form for NaSO. Thanks!!
SuperMrBentley 11 months ago
All acids fume like that, the NaSO I believe is the solids left after the reaction is complete as a biproduct.
quexalcoatl 11 months ago
@quexalcoatl No it is like this (unbalanced): NaCl+H2SO4->HCl+Na2So4 and Balanced: 2NaCl+H2SO4->2HCl+Na2So4
taigi100 11 months ago
@quexalcoatl No it looks like this NaCl+H2SO4 ---> HCl+NaHSO4
taigi100 11 months ago

quexalcoatl 11 months ago
@taigi100 Maybe, but I'd rather make it 2NaCl + H2SO4 ---> 2HCl +Na2(SO4), so it's a 2:1-2:1.
I poked around at Wikipedia, looks like it's called the Mannheim reaction.

@NTV99 Car batteries, for one. Might not be too pure though, but if you heat it until fumes start to appear it should be potent enough. (60-70%)

@cnidoblast well seeing as sulfuric acid is more badass, why would you want hydrochloric
officialdemo 1 year ago
@officialdemo if you're just looking for a badass acid that'll eat through anything then I suppose H2SO4 would be a better choice than HCl. H2SO4 in itself isn't that badass though. Add some concentrated H2O2 and you've got pirhana solution. Aqua regia is more badass than H2SO4 since it can dissolve noble metals. Wanna see a real badass acid look up HF on youtube. Theres more to acids than just protonation.
cnidoblast 1 year ago
I still don't understand why people use acid to make acid. I get it from a laboratory standpoint, like if you don't have one acid on hand and you need another one, but people would love to see a way to make good acid with available materials.
Flumphinator 1 year ago
@Flumphinator Well in this case it would be useful to make HCl (which is a gas) to bubble through something. For example I want to protonate an amine. However, a protonated amine is water soluble so concentrated HCl (liquid) wouldn't really work. But if you bubble HCl gas through the amine in diethyl ether it would just precipitate out and bingo you have your product.

@gps93 society is just incredibly ignorant they see a chemical reaction and immediately think METH LAB because all they know about chemistry is drugs. Same goes for everything with any depth in life.
