Chemistry experiment 4 - Preparing ammonium chloride.

[Revelde20]

nice demostration, I have two questions, the first is, why didn't you have the stem tip of the condensation glass sumerge in the other solution. the second question is , how exactly do you collect your product? I understand that now days ,the scientific community have come to an era of fear ,that because of drug consumtion and terroristic treads ,there will be no more home scientist (especially chemist) that will develop great solutions. it will be good if you use lables or distorted voice.

[xredb]

it would be better if u talked

[bruuno117]

mmmm my mouth is watering!

[thawdani]

my good fired, i have mad ea double displacement reaction between potassium nitrate and ammonium nitrate, and im am left with potassium nitrate, which i extracted, and ammonium chloride. im wondering how can i extract the ammonium chloride from the yellowish greenish clear liquid?

[motbrok]

*TO breath it in

[motbrok]

@listochristo

1 Molar won't do the trick. I advise a concentration of at least 3 mol/l. But be warned: HCl is a gas dissolved in water so with these high concentrations some of the HCl gas will evaporate and you don't want ti breath it in. Open your HCl holding container outside or under a fumehood.

[Ivanlamperouge]

no sound?

[baldurus1]

Mmmmm.... Ammonium chloride, yummy.

[vmelkon]

I was trying to use NH4Cl yesterday to make vaccum in a arc discharge tube yesterday but failed :(

[ListoChristo]

I used 1molar HCl and it didn't do anything! Do I need a much more concentrated solution of HCl?

[SierraAlphaSierra]

probably so, you'll need a concentration that fumes

[12nmarano]

NH4 is ammonium, NH3 is ammonia

[mate6007]

What is the name of the flask-like glassware on the left?

[adriankocian]

distillation flask

[j822bosh]

Dang you silly butts. All this stuff is on ebay. Just stop smoking weed and look.  Ammonium chloride has a few uses. It is good stuff. Making ammonium vanadate for vanadium chemistry, patinas on copper alloys, smoke screen when added to smoke bombs, Soldering and brazing flux sometimes mixed with zinc chloride.

[thomas242007]

thats just what i was thinking i looked up a bunch of that stuff today and you really can find anything on ebay

[hexametileno]

Forgive me of my ignorance... But what's the white powder? Isn't NH4Cl formed by NH3 and HCL two liquids???????!!!!!!!!!

[meunlikeyou]

The powder was most likely table salt, and the liquid poured on top of it sulfuric acid, which together release HCl gas.

[SierraAlphaSierra]

im assuming its NaCl and hes probably adding H2SO4 to produce Na2SO4 and HCl gas

[pyropakman]

Ammonia and Hydrogen Chloride are both gases.

[Jimmymajesty007]

these are materials with which you can put out any kind of conventional  fire even if you mix them ;)

[alexjamesmith]

Why do you all comment so bad on his experiment? I mean, I have graduated the chemistry and I know about these types of experiments. I have glassware and all kinds of metals and substances at home and I make experiments of this kind every day, so just shut up talking about others and think about your chemistry. I am sending this message to onlyontuesdays99! If you don't know chemistry, just SHUT UP!

[spotlightman1234]

@alexjamesmith u mad?

[twystedfyre]

WHERE ARE THE NAKED GIRLS????

jk kewl kem!

[VideoGamersUnited]

Wow - Don't try this at home this mixture is extremely hazardous and NEVER should be mixed together as it is extremely comubustible... Well at least in fireworks -.- Don't try it it's a bad idea

[Peterditaa]

are you dumb or what?

[computer2408]

Where can one find these materials (even the glassware)?

[alexjamesmith]

You can get these materials from a shop that specialises in laboratory items. You can find them anywhere if you look for them on the internet, of course. Please buy them. :-)

[onlyontuesdays99]

you didn't balance your equation!

[koen2all]

Yes I did ;-)

It's just 1, 1, 1

So you don't have to write any numbers.

[onlyontuesdays99]

then why does it make fire when i try it?!?!

[alexjamesmith]

Because you don't know how to make it, stupid! I have graduated the chemistry and I know all of these things he/she does. So just shut your trap about someone else and think about you!

[alexjamesmith]

He did balance his equation. If he is a chemist, he knows it. You're just too jealous on him because you don't know!

[onlyontuesdays99]

It was a joke, dicktits.

[syafiq930]

@onlyontuesdays99 LOL

LOL

LOL

[98209276]

as long as you dont make ammonium chlorate lol

[irsfreeamerica]

if it is just add a bit of rocket fuel and wait for the boom!!

[Siddy1200]

Why you wouldn't just buy HCl solution and mix with ammonia solution i dont know. H2SO4 is heavily taxed. HCl is so cheap.

[Siddy1200]

"...where do u get these materials and chemicals?

r u a chemist"

LOL. Its H2SO4, sulphuric acid from the hardware story. NaCl, salt from your mums cupboard and 10% ammonia solution from the cleaning isle of your local supermarket.

H2SO4 + NaCl > HCl (g)

HCl + NH3 > NH4Cl

NH4Cl is quite soluble so don't expect it to crash out in the solution unless you distill.

And yes, NH4CL can be simply be bought.

Also, this is not a safe method as most of the HCl fumes are lost and destroying near by metals

[koen2all]

This video is about the reaction, not about the final product.

[crazyboy0602]

why make ammonium chloride? i have some its cheap as hell and dead useless.

[Voldemort1857]

Someone tell me where i can get NaOH, HCI, NH3 and NH4CI? And stuff?

[koen2all]

In the left flask is sodium chloride. Concentrated sulphuric acid is added. HCl gas is formed. This goes to the beaker on the right. That beaker contains 10% ammonia. The ammonia gas and HCl gas react to NH4Cl (the white smoke).

[JacksonTang1211]

@koen2all i like ur explanation ^^ thx ... u help me a lot in my work

[jjLOVEshan]

Please explain what is going on here, what chemical is going into which piece of equipment, where is the ammonium Chroride being made and any other chemicals used other than NH3 HCl

[mabakken]

Nice =)

[01raja01]

great

[pcross84]

What is the smoke? and if smoke is the result of burning, is it steam?

[Basco36]

the smoke is the ammonium chloride

[StefsChemicalRomance]

I though NH4Cl should have made hte beaker covered in white bumpy solid? or is that something else

[carnivorous4pie]

Okay so the gas is Ammonia how did you achieve that? And the gas is flowing into a beaker with HCl?

[TomIRIDIUM]

I think he mixed NaOH and NH4NO3 or NH4HCO3 with water to get NH3.

[koen2all]

I just used simple household ammonia. I poured that in the beaker on the right.

[TomIRIDIUM]

So you used NH4HCO3. And is the solution you're pouring at 00:51 sodium hydroxide solution?

[Grundalizer]

yeah i bet those fumes are excellent for you. isnt ammonium chloride poisonous

[koen2all]

It's used in Liquorice candy, so it's not poisonous....

[horusthoth]

it's also a flux used in metallurgy/smithing

[magician4eva]

man, where do u get these materials and chemicals?

r u a chemist

[alex681219]

ammonium chloride usefull 4?...the ingredients?

[koen2all]

It is used in liquorice candy
