  • Hello,

    I have hydrochloric acid that is 30% by weight.

    Is this concentrated enough?

  • cool looks like the sugar took a crap

  • ahhh sugar fairies a monster

  • how can i know when is heating completed. dense fumes are present when h2so4 is 70% and also when more concetrated. What indicates when H2SO4 is concetraced?

  • @shoottherunner8008 Yeah, I'm sure you can but if you want I would post a request for Nurdrage for a more simpler way to do it. :P

  • nurdrage, you did supply a link for the science like for your "nitric acid complete guide" video, any chance of adding a link to a text of this process? would be a good add on.

  • I saw this guy on gangland.. huh

  • Gotta Love all the people who are shocked beyond belief you are doing this. "WAIT IT SEEMS LIKE SO MUCH TROUBLE, IF I NEED ACID I JUST USE ORANGE JUICE". What I get out of these videos is not only a better understanding of chem but better lab techniques. The chemicals you get can be used again but OF COURSE you can just buy it.

  • Can you make concentrated acids from dilute ones? 

  • Comment removed

  • Kinda funny how it takes HCl to make sulfuric acid, and it takes sulfuric acid to make HCl.

  • Comment removed

  • @KewneRain Probably not easily... I'm sure you could find a way, but would you want to work with it? It's very nasty stuff.

  • Is it possible to make elemental sulfur from potassium metabisulfite?

  • You better burn sulphur to make sulphur dioxide.

  • Can i use sodium bisulfate and drip HCL in to it?

  • @awent0428

    Im 85% sure of a No. and by the way, I think your talking about sodium bisulfite...

  • Hey, I was wondering if there was another way to make sulphuric acid. I was thinking about how people tear when they cut onions. I believe that when an onion is cut, sulphur dioxide is released into the air and reacts with the water in your eyes to produce sulphuric acid. Can you think of any way to replicate these results in an experiment? So that the wanted acid can be easily, and cheaply, obtained with just a few onions and some water.

  • @01Avinash that wouldnt make sulphuric acid

    

  • SULFUROUS ACID AND SULFURIC ACID? IS THERE A DIFFERENCE?

  • @mcwario13 *sigh*

  • @SargentLimpDick What???!!!???

  • @mcwario13 Never has googling been this hard...

  • @mcwario13 next time just google it, but sulfurous acid is H2SO3 and sulfuric acid is H2SO4 so the diffrence is that sulfurous acid has 3 oxygen atom and sulfuric acid has 4 oxygen atoms. hope it was helpful

  • This seems like a lot of trouble to go through for something you can buy pretty readily. I mean, if you're the owner of a lab where you have copious amounts of all of those materials, I guess you could save a little by making it yourself, but is it enough to make it worth the time needed?

  • @Socioistic The is completely and totally 100% wasteful. the cost is hundreds of times more than buying it directly.

    The objective here is the explore the science.

  • @NurdRage

    Oh, okay. I thought it was like reloading your own bullets, to save money, and get your own concentrations and all that. If it's wasteful, and only for fun, then I'm all for it! :D

  • @NurdRage where can u buy all the chemicals and H2SO4

  • @iskatelikeanoob A chemical supplier. Although you could likely just buy the Sulfuric acid at said supplier.

  • @NurdRage is there a more cost afevtive way of makeing it

    like burning sulfer to make sulferdioxide then the sulferdioxie to the H2O2 makeing sulfuric acid

  •  BRIAN!!!!

  • @Socioistic It's for educational purpose.

  • @Socioistic It's not too much trouble to go through if you live in a country where you cant buy H2SO4 without a chemical handlers licence, but can get everything else at the hardware shop and the chemist.

  • @Socioistic Fuck you, I can buy this shit at home depot and the shit I can, this homey showed me how to roll my own nitric acid.

    Go fuck yourself, not everyone has their own lab chemicals! FUCK YOU!

  • @fermicrunk

    What? 

  • @Socioistic Have a science lesson brought to you by lawyers.

    1. All oxidizers are a precursor to a bomb, and a felony.

    2. All acids and bases are precursors to narcotics, mainly meth, and a felony.

    We really can't get our hands on this stuff without being put on a watch list, having the DEA knock on our door, or having connections. For those of us who are simply curious, we are borderline criminals. Without videos like this, we simply cannot do chemistry on our own.

  • هل توجد طريقة اخرى اسهل؟

  • @ford5754 تأخير

  • you are a cook

    possibly an artist

  • The video to make hydrochloric acid requires sulfuric acid.

    The video to make sulfuric acid requires hydrochloric acid.

    Great...

  • @PickyMcCritical Don't make up lies. My video on making hydrochloric acid clearly states sodium bisulfate is used as the acid, NOT sulfuric acid.

  • @NurdRage Hey, hey... I wasn't lying, I was just wrong :( I watched a lower quality video with more views on making HCl without paying attention and thought it was yours.

  • i have a question can I do the boiling to the sulfuric acid of the car batterys to make it pure ?

  • @eduajvhades yup, go for it.

  • @eduajvhades watch out for lead if you're taking it from a battery

  • @eduajvhades though now that I think about it, the sulfuric acid is probably much more dangerous than the lead

  • Now I can finally bath in sulfuric acid!

  • @alcid34 no they are different.

  • @NurdRage johny was a chemist but now he is no more what he thought was H2O

    was H2SO4 HAY!!

  • @alcid34 They are VERY different: HCl and H2SO4

  • @alcid34 no sulfuric acid is stronger due to a higher concentration of hydrogen ions

    hydrochloric acid is found in your stomach to break down food, and sulfuric acid is used in car batterys making it a strong acid

    make no mistake though, both these acids are highly corrosive and not something you wanna play with unless you are using the right safety gear

    hope that answered your question :D

  • @kbtoxicwaste87 All strong acids are considered the same strength, as they all disassociate completely in solution. Sulfuric acid( H2SO4) only gives up one H+ under normal circumstances. only if there is a mix of acids would sulfuric acid be considered "stronger" due to the fact that it is easier to separate the extra hydrogen ion from it.

    of course, it has been a while since i took chemistry so i could be mistaken.

  • @alcid34 Wow...

  • I didn't even know three-necked flasks existed... o_0

  • very good, Nurd Rage my idol!!! Good job!

  • Hey can I oxidize SO2 by NO2?

  • "Johnny was a chemist's son, but now he is no more. What Johnny thought was H2O was H2SO4!

  • @Nitricthunder thats amazing my freind

  • this is what i need to throw at a bully and burn his face off.he won't forget me.

  • @NurdRage I tried to do that sulfuric acid on sugar part in the lab i was working in, but it didn't react as well as yours. I used 99.999% sulfuric acid from sigma, and added it to about the same amount of sugar as you did, in the same size bottle as yours (20mL), but the amount of carbon produced was really low. Can you tell me what I did wrong?

  • please make the method of burning sulfur! =)

  • Will this work if I use 30% nitric acid? (I think that's what I have) - Or do I need the red fuming stuff?

  • @verymaddog no that's perfect

  • @spotlightman1234

    Thanks!

  • More Videos Please.

    

  • @ 0:55 next put your weed in one end and voila

  • @ninjalo720 xD

  • Is sodium metabisulfite interchangeable with sodium bisulfate?

  • I don't have any of the equipment in this video to make the acid. Could someone recomend some dependable sites to buy from?

  • hopefully someone knows an answer for me i make copper sulfate and zinc sulfate by making a weak solution of sulfuric acid by mixing sodium bisulfate into distilled water until no more disolves after these experiments i wanted stronger sulfuric acid so i made my sodium bisulfate and boiled it down and set it aside well i wanted it stronger so i boiled way down to almost no liquid left and i let it cool when i checked back on it it had crystallized into really sharp crystals what are the crystals

  • What's with the voice changer?

  • Can you show how to make sulferic acid from epsom salt?

  • Hey NurdRage, can we just simply heat sodium metabisulfite to produce SO2 instead of using HCl?

    Na2S2O5 → Na2O + 2 SO2

    wont that work? and what is the temperature required for the decomposition to take place? thanks :)

  • I remember messing with hydrochloric acid in science class... that was actually quite fun... we were learning about bases and acid's and how base ingredients will null out the effects of the acid. in other words we used sodium as the base and hydrochloric acid as the acid, creating sodium chloride. we then allowed crystals form, creating "salt"

  • new videos coming soon???

  • are you dead Dr. lithium?

  • Hey NurdRage, i had a few questions regarding this experiment, first of all, does a 3 neck round bottom flask absolutely HAVE to be used? or can we use a regular filtration flask? and do we HAVE to have a stir bar inside? or can we mix the first 2 components before we attach the rest of the apparatus containing the hydrochloric acid? great video, thank you very much for posting!

  • do you put it on your dick to stop premature ejaculations

  • damn

    this guy sounds very smart

    dont know what the hell he is saying haha

  • Can't you make sulphur dioxide like this:

    Na2SO3 + 2HCL --> 2NaCl + SO2 + H2O

    There's no visible reason why it shouldn't work but I can't find any other website besides one that mentions it.

  • Do you think that an average amateur could make sulfuric acid with the lead chamber process?

    It seems simple enough, NO2 is used as a catalyst to turn SO2 into SO3....

    What's the catch?

  • what was that thing on the right..it looks like a cool piece to make into a bong

  • Did anyone notice his keck clips degrading before our eyes in the video? It just falls off mid way!

  • What about just sodium metabisulfite, water, and 3% H2O2? I did that in a test tube and I got a massive heat release, bubbles, and the pH went from 7 to 1 (according to wide range pH paper). I wafted a bit of the bubbles but did not smell the pungent odor of SO2 which I have smelled before during heat decomposition of sodium met. I assume the SO2 was immediately solvated in the water and hydrated/oxidized again? into sulfuric acid. Or perhaps it's sulfurous acid?

  • if instead of sodium metabisulfite can be used potassium metabisulfite

  • A.K.A were making crack then smoking it immediatly?

  • If you had a higher Hydrogen Peroxide concentration wouldn't that give you better yields and better acid concentrations?

  • is Sulfuric acid used in car battries?

  • @FacadeOfTruth yep, lead acid batteries like those in your car work inside of an bath of sulphuric acid.

  • make NaCl.

  • This can dissolve a human right?

  • 11 people do not know how to make Chemistry.

  • @dulios2adriana I'm pretty sure you can't "make" Chemistry considering that would be the study of matter... 

  • @TheTrueSong O.O

  • the hydrochloric acid is it 33 % or more? what is it

  • Damn.... i just DONT happen to keep that in my pantry.......haha

  • hey, does polypropylene withstand acids like h2so4 and hno3?

  • I used a similar instalation for making sulphuric acid. The only difference was that I used a NO2 instead of HNO3 to oxidize th SO2 to SO3. Then I dissolved it with water to form H2SO4. I used a very complicated instalation. Then I have tested the H2SO4 obtained with BaCl2 to get a white precipitate of BaSO4.

  • You could just go to the hardware store too.

  • lol Please pardon me if I sound stupid, but for the Hydrogen peroxide, can you just take a bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide used for first aid (about 3%) and boil it to obtain a higher conccentration?

  • I wondering..

    How to dissolve Fe2O3....? I have try by...

    1.HCl ...and fail

    2.H2So4.....and fail

    3.EDTA.....and fail...

    but can not dissolve Fe2O3.......why.....?

    

  • adfadfadf

  • No offense, but your voice sounds like the guy that sold the alien video to the news people. His voice was altered with AV Voice Changer Software to make it unrecognizable. I'm pretty sure you're not using anything to make your voice sound like that, so I think it's really neat!

    If you ever call the CIA or FBI, they're going to think you're either messing with them or trying to be 'incognito', using software. :-)

  • You can also generate the sulfur dioxide by combustion (burning) of elemental sulfur: S + O2 = SO2

  • @firebomb37 go for it. Just please read the video description where i address exactly that.

  • @NurdRage sorry I wondering.....

    How to dissolve Fe2O3....? I have try by...

    1.HCl ...and fail

    2.H2So4.....and fail

    3.EDTA.....and fail...

    but can not dissolve Fe2O3.......why.....?

  • @firebomb37 in the name of science

  • nurgage please make video abaut how to concentrate hidrogen peroxide

  • were the hell do u get all those chemicals???

  • hey , i tried it with NaClO. I Bubbled SO2 in the NaClO solution, the yellow characteristic color of NaClO dissapeared and the solution turned clear. i tought it formed a very weak solution of sulfuric acid, i mixed the solution with Cu2O but it turned green instead of blue, what is this ? Cu2SO4 ? i never heard about copper sulfate (I) . What happened ?

  • can i use sodium hypochlorite as an oxidizer in this reaction

    SO2 + NaClO = SO3 + NaCl

    or it wont work ?

  • Hello NerdRage. Would you mind answering my question asap. Is there a place you could buy Sulfuric acid instead of making it because don't have a flask nor a hot plate.

  • hello everyone, I have a question, how to bubble gases?

  • can sodium metabissulfite be replaced by sodium bisulfate? or another salt thats easier to obtain, if so what would be the proper mass of salt?

    thanks

  • make a vid of glacial aceatic acid please

  • I am pretty sure 98% is due to disproportionation- its still top purity. 100% H2SO4 has added SO3. It makes more sense to use a solid dehydating agent for the nitric such as P2O5? (check the books first.) BTW 30% H2O2 is a dangerous expensive explosive corrosive unlike H2SO4, a cheap dangerous non explosive corrosive- can't you purify the dark sulfuric they sell at Home Depot? I do like your technique.

  • can i use water

  • I've tried to impress my new chemistry teacher producing sulfuric acid from this video and I've been expelled for 3 days. But at least I've got a 10! :D Thanks!

  • @StrikheeeeEEErr Did you bring the compounds to school or something?

  • @bastian74 Yes and I don't regret doing that. :)

  • i have bether metod

    you can use matches to make sulfur dioxide

  • nice Y made that in my mom's lab

  • that contraption is sexxy

  • Hi. I will most likely not try this as I am 11; however, Could you you use hcl instead of hno3?

  • FUCK toyota.

  • could you use cpvc since it is not affected by most chemicals

  • i love everything u guys do!! keep em coming..^_^

  • I dont understand anything what they say but i still watch this video!

  • Wow, i want you for my chemistry professor! But, cant you just buy this stuff?

  • Ho provato pure io questo metodo,ed funziona veramente! sono riuscito ad sciogliere uno scontrino!

  • you would make a very good professor

  • im 13 and i burned my finger tip with a dare i pute my finger in it and blahhhhh it just melted

  • Can I boil HCl to conc. It

  • @megamarko94 boiling it will make it go to 22.2%conc so if it's higher than that it'll go down if it's lower the conc will go up

  • Does anyone here know how concentrated the H2SO4 from Rooto Corp is?

  • rofl, this guy makes meth

  • @BonoLuigi If he used milk jugs and mason jars for all of his projects, and gave instructions like he's reading a shopping list, I would probably agree with you.

    Does your mom still cook meth?

  • @asininegenius rofl, nice comment

  • you sure have a very low voice while you're just 34 years old.

  • where do you get your glassware?

  • thnxx

  • Interesting video, but why does the guy sound like Satan?

  • lmao! it sounds like he said "... highly corrosive asses." at the beginning

  • can I use a vacuum flask for this?

  • can sulfuric acid harm people?

  • @ NurdRage Can you do video on how to make sulfuric acid from sulphur powder?

  • @firebluelily

    Sulphur + Oxygen --> Sulphur dioxide

    Sulphur dioxide + Oxygen --> Sulphur trioxide

    Sulphur trioxide + Water --> Sulphuric acid

  • Would a solution of Potassium Permanganate be suffice as the oxidizer??

  • @Tavcarovski you can buy anhydrous calcium chloride at the hardware store pretty easily and cheaply

  • @Mike666nz if you go to your local hardware store you can buy 98% sulfuric acid (professional drain cleaner) and 32% hydrochloric acid (concrete etcher) very easily. I'm 14 and I bought these with no problem here in the us you just can't find nitric acid at the hardware store though :P

  • @spotlightman1234 I only just saw yr comment a year later-lol.Well spotlightman1234, here in NZ that is not possible alas.I wish it was but unless one has a reasonable chemistry knowledge(I wish I had listened more at high school) the things are all now "precursors".One can get sodium hydroxide as drain cleaner but since the meth hysteria, shit even Acetone is watched(but as anyone would know, Toluene is far better).Prohibition is an abject abomination and failure in my view.Too much intrusion

  • Its great to have this knowledge out there, but how does one even obtain sulphuric or hydrochloric acid when both are pre cursors to the making of various illegal goodies and explosives :D?I am not sure about the US, but would imagine after sept 11 and the resulting paranoia and mutilation of privacy rights and civil liberties, that somehow one would have to jump through hoops-ID, licence maybe etc?Here in NZ, one could possibly buy them in small quantities but I id assume ID and cops checking

  • @mike666nz

    you can literally walk down to the chem supply and buy everything you need to make just about any kind of explosive there is. i dont know if you noticed but eh....we dont exactly have an 'explosives' problem here in the US. everyone is worried about drugs and their precursor chemicals. if there is no problem, there need not be any laws.

  • @caliusoptimus true-lol.The US is certainly obsessed with meth mainly and its precursors, though everything needing chemicals is on their radar in the futile prohibitionist "war".I only know relevant basic chemistry and the processes I wanted to know, I forgot years ago after assisting without writing notes.The wankers here are restricting codeine ffs obstensibly to stop morons from getting somehow addicted to codeine(lmfao), but is to stop the manufacture of homebake dicetylmorphia-theyre

  • @caliusoptimus dual use chemicals for both manufacture and explosives like hydrazine, ethyl ether etc.Where there is a will there is a way isnt there, so the "terrorist" will always find some way and method of creating shit, at the expense of our liberties all over the western world I think, and has.A lot of the crap here has been at the instigation of the FBI, state dept etc who all sent their resp and even directors here to schmooze with the jerks currently in power here anyways.lol and theyR

  • @caliusoptimus I agree-for some reason I have only seen your reply today :O.Not here you can't-as you would know sulfuric acid is also a precursor and is treated as such here in NZ-they are pathetically paranoid.Hell they even banned Psuedoephedrine when any pharmacist will have to admit that it is THE most effective decongestant around and that the replacement, weak shit phenylephrine is just ineffective.Now to get any one needs a drs script!!The Triads have taken over with Contact NT-frm China

  • Imma starter for chemistry and i was wondering wat is hydrochloric acid and what ar its capabilities?!?

  • you can make a video showing the concept and effect of a superacid have on metals?

  • Gweeting fellow nurds

  • The nitric acid method. much resembles the lead-chamber process. A lot more expensive than purchasing sulfuric acid at your local DIY store, but a fun experiment to do thought. Hydrogen peroxide is not easy to purchase in large concentrations in most countries. since (sadly) organic peroxides can be made with it.

  • Carbon Souffle FTW

  • lol at 3:07 lego my logo

  • why was the sugar sulfuric mix rising towards the end? was it because it was still expanding?

  • this one guy put sulfuric acid in a coffee mug and randomly attacked this girl across the street by splashing it in her face and no one would help her because her face was being eaten away and so she didn't look good. She had a ton of plastic surgeries but still can't get her beautiful face back.

  • i need hydrocloric acid to make sulfuric acid, and sulfuric acid to make hydrocloric acid!!! THIS IS SO DAMN ANNOYING!!!! but still, great vid:)
