Sodium Reacts with Four Acids

[DinnerInATube]

I, a 15 year old, will be handling 6M Hydrochloric acid tomorrow. Be afraid.

[sciroccoguy]

@DinnerInATube 6 M will not do anything of interest unless you are reacting it with an alkali metal. Keep thinking that, bro

[09876124]

Hmmmm imagine HF acid with Cs.......

[freakin1random]

HF is a weak acid lol. Try HClO4 lol. That way the salt is flamable too!! :D

[WTFisJamieUp2]

wow lol the highest concentration our school has is HCl 2M

[fava1300]

the brown gas on the right is Nitrogen Dioxide or Nitrogen Oxide...

[CarnalDiafragma]

Nitrogen Dioxide, Nitrogen Oxide is colorless.

Nitrogen Dioxide actually forms an equibrillium with Dinitrogen Tetraoxide, which is also colorless. At a lower temperature, there will be more N2O4 and the color lighter brown :)

[freakin1random]

NO2....NO is non-toxic and clear :)

[spotlightman1234]

@fava1300 it brown gas you can see is NO2 Nitrogen Dioxide

[battlon345]

thats why you dont play with acids lol

[tomyo669]

hold on sodium is na right there is no na in any of those just n

[kanibal234]

No Man ..

It's Sodium reacting with four acids

Example:

In the first you got Na reacting with HCl

[dragonridley]

@tomyo669

HCl is hydrochloric acid.

HNO3 is nitric acid.

The sodium reacts with those substances to from sodium chloride (NaCl) and sodium nitrate (NaNO3) respectively. Hydrogen gas is also produced

Nice

[kolsenchem]

whoa i cant follow this science shit

someone give me a chemical that explodes

[w7i7n7k7]

hmmm let me think piclic acid

[donnelrj01]

Piclic acid? Try picric acid.

[jamie10310]

kewl!

[ISMAILGUL997]

very nice !

[hybridtab]

ok ..... first of all ... wouldn't the 12M HCL be more concentrated then the 6M but it reacted slower.... that doesn't make much sense........and what is first to react.... what is that suppose to prove ?? I don't think this experiment proves anything

[IHateMadeUpNames]

Actually, IIRC, sodium violently reacts with pure water without acid. The 12M HCl reaction is very interesting in that there is no violent reaction (just salt formation I guess), whereas the 6M solution may not be strong enough to nullify the additional reaction of sodium with water. I have no idea about the HNO3. I'm certain it proves something.. but I'm no chemistry buff.

[matthewjohnmcgee]

hno3 is nitric acid

[elpeurko]

Its because Cl- ions are released so rapidly in the high molar HCl acid they form NaCl very fast. To fast for the Na to react with the H2O. The lower molar acids have more water, and like you said, Na + H2O is a very violent reaction.

In other words Na wants the Cl more than the H2O, and High molar HCL has more CL to react with

[nadredins]

u dont get it !!! 4 acid's 4 thats alot!!! and there alot more to it then that,,jus being it 4 theres so much other thing u can figure oout!! hell man wat are u even watchin the video for!!hahaha

[boxiness]

i don't get it..

[Suburp212]

nice

[canezfan222]

cool!
