Precipitation Reaction: Sodium Iodide with Mercury(II) Chlor

[americanmurray]

thats awesomeee!~!!!

[fmarrtinezlara]

uoo

[Beffeux]

Useless le devoir

magic

[zhmichael]

looks like V8 peach mango

[Nightmarelix]

My mate drank this in chem the other day. Hot tip: don't be as stupid as him.

[spotlightman1234]

AHHH D: mercury compounds

[fborcic]

It's about as toxic as cyanides

[GingleGangle1]

Is it resistable to heating?

[InfinitelyCool]

Thanks for the reaction but you failed to mention what the precipitate is! is the precipitate HgI2?

[ytmachx]

Looks like tang.

[akondude]

@ytmachx it is, it actually tastes pretty good.

I'd recommend trying it at least once

[ytmachx]

@akondude I think I'd only get one go at it. x_x

[fresh098]

just watched this for chem...

[Amarinth39]

now drink it

[HobbyChemistry]

1Gram of Mercury (II) Chloride (right beaker) is enough to kill a grown man

[vitorix24]

YES

[darkkristian22]

or an easyer way to make orange is to mix yellow and red.......just use your head u dont have to mix chemicals

[mingmingnak]

uhh maybe they are interested in the compound that is coming out of the reaction there, maybe they are chemists and enjoy chemistry and science, or just people who want to learn and not do every day simple things like just mix color, also the colors you are mixing are just much more complex chemical compounds so in essence you are still mixing chemicals, for referance look up azo red on wiki , or its precursors 2-naphthol and para-nitro analine.

[garter10895]

it's the other way around, they want to mix chemicals, and it became orange

[TheDrkKnght1988]

...and it leaves a mercuric iodide precipitate.

[vkmtahgi]

ahh quick question that would help heaps could sodium iodide react with mercury in water so people coould detect if mercury was in water... free cookie to anyone that answers

thx

[jeremiahswee]

the mercury would have to be in really high concentrations...plus if the water is chlorinated, the sodium iodide will be reduced to free iodine, rendering it ineffective.

[mingmingnak]

well chlorinated with a solution of chlorine gas in water not chloride ions is what im assuming you meant?

[mingmingnak]

no, it would not react with the mercury in any appreciable way or any reasonable amount of time.

[tearitrightup]

Not orange juice, the neon carrot juice that my mom makes every dinner. xD

[steevieweevile]

Isn't a precipitate solid?

[Spirithz123]

I forget the exact compounds, but I know Silver Nitrate and a certain Dichromate make a really pretty maroon colored precipitate. The cation for the dichromate escapes my mind at the moment, but it was a really nice color, as is this :).

[DharmaGuy95]

nerd!!

[mcfc4life1996]

omg yea im with u this is nerdy

[tearitrightup]

You say it like it's a bad thing. If Bill Gates were a nerd, if Obama were a nerd, heck, if Einstein were a nerd, I'd be proud to be a nerd.

=] Just because you don't understand this doesn't mean you have to become indignant.

[slateflash]

It's funny how mercury(II) chloride is soluble but mercury(II) iodide isn't.

[ekriirke]

"Later..." nothing changed

[ctapp24]

whoa.........thats gay

[tearitrightup]

Yet you're spending time watching this.

[MicroCutsBliss]

wow it turn orange

surprising

[cCchom3r]

yeee soooo?

[jallathesuck]

orange juice YU M YUMYUYMYUM

[beatdeat]

Horribly toxic orange juice.

:D
