Sodium in Ethanol

[Bulka40000]

i'd drink this alcohol, and you just wasted it!!!!

[pvc988]

Its recorded using a bottle of hydrochloric acid.

[RattlerX5150]

get a real camera,, not a $15 k mart special

[giuliodice1]

Hai fatto l'etossido di sodio, che è una superbase!

[htirah100]

nc quality dude..now do me a favor BUY A BETTER CAMERA ASSHOLE

[thdmtr]

man, just put that fucking chinese camera in your fucking ass

[LackOfFuel]

vmelkon: It's possible, that sodium reacts with water too. But it reactss with ethanol as well and sodium ethoxide is forming.

[vmelkon]

It is possible that the sodium reacts with the water in the ethanol? Unless of course this is high grade lab ethanol.

[LENOVOMARE]

GAY

[whiterabbit703]

lol at 1fps camera

[dragonridley]

Terrible quality

[jody4403363881]

Yay! Sodium Ethoxide! And, to answer the question, you get the anhydrous ethanol from: YOU MAKE IT! Silly. Don't drink it, though. Man, that really sucked. It's a horrible thing to feel the fat in your lips and mouth begging to disolve. Owie!

[CarnalDiafragma]

thanks for the gay slideshow, bunghole.

[pHzerodotcom]

where did you get anhydrous ethanol from?

[SoronII]

Use a better camera next time :I

[poetrylost30]

Dry some white phosphorus out in the sun. nice

[kenfo0]

why was that supposed to be interesting?

[MariusSemeonOrtiz]

Because it is very different from Na with water. It's a less violent reaction. Also the Na solid sinks rather than floats on top since the alcohol is less dense than water.

If i remember correctly from my chemistry book i think the reaction is so: Na + CH3CH2OH ----> NaCH3CH2O + H2 (unbalanced ofc) ......

The product, Sodium ethanoate contains the Na+ ion and the ethanoate ion, CH3CH2O- . Hope this helps

[aufbakhandleitung]

yuh, C2H5OH + Na => C2H5ONa + H2

aka, loads of energie (exothermic) and gass (H2)

quite usefull reaction (you can charge it when you add Cl so the NaCl drops and leaves the C2H5O charged)

[Lucy0891]

Is sodium ethoxide also sodium ethylate?

[kaviaari]

It seems that you just mix sodium with quite about anything. Anyway, when you mix sodium with ethanol you get sodium ethoxide. If you leave the petri-dish alone for a week the ethoxide should crystalize out as a white/yellowish power.
