nicely done

Can i suggest using copper nitrate insted of copper sulfate? both copper carbonate and sodium sulfate have low solubility, but sodium nitrate is quite soluble and allows for a better separation of the final products.

[Chmielok]

Baking soda will also work, because it will decompose CO2, H2O and Na2CO3.

dont dump heavy metals down the sink!

[pyropakman]

Great video! Where do you buy your glassware? Thanks.

[Necrocyrus]

those are beakers and just normal apparatus

[monkeyjeroen]

you sleep in that bed?

[Necrocyrus]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAH that's just random

[NeedForiPhones]

Where can I get copper sulfate? Please answer me I'm curious btw good video!

[hardhitman69]

Root Killer

[PyroChemicals]

It should be called "Root Kill", and is available in the plumbing department at your hardware store.

[NeedForiPhones]

Ok thanks to every1 that replied. I bought 2 weeks ago and it is a fungicide and when mixed with CaO it is used for spraying grapes against unwanted substances.

[theartilerysheller1]

can you get sodium carbonate by heating sodium bicarbonate

[strontiumperoxide]

Yep!

[megafeltch]

cool 5 * ,can you please give me measurments.

[strontiumperoxide]

You don't need any =) Just use more Sodium Carbonate than Copper Sulfate, since it's cheaper and just mix until you have a clear solution (not blue) solution and a blue/green precipitate.

[pyromodder]

currently making copper ascorbate from carbonate / ascorbic acid

[strontiumperoxide]

nice! tell me the results =)

[pyromodder]

the results are they work excellently. a friend of mine is making an account for pyro chemistry, i'll send you the link when hes done a few things but right now but he has all the chemist equipment and tried out copper ascorbate for me it deflagrates really fast with a blue flame with chlorates

[Runner3546]

Cool video but i have a question. Why do you bother heating up the chemicals? Couldnt you just dissolve the sodium carbonate and the copper sulfate, mix them, and just got a simple double replacement reaction with the copper carbonate precipitating? Thanks

[strontiumperoxide]

already answered, it precipitates but not carbonate, a moddy slury of Elemental copper, The oxide and the carbonate, a brown mess indeed.

[Runner3546]

I thought the copper oxide and elemental copper slurry only formed if the carbonate was heated up? what im saying is why not just keep the reactants colds, not heated up on the stove, and just mix them? wont CuCo3 preciptate out since its insoluble and youll be left with an aqeuous solution of NaSO4?

[strontiumperoxide]

sorry i was tired while writing the last answer, just get a high containing solution(heat up) then cool it down until room temperature, then just mix the stuff.

correct just filter the Na2SO4 out with decanting it many times and then filter it.

[jacubv]

great guide, but why wait untill the solutions are cold? copper oxide shlould not be form if used clean chemicals

[strontiumperoxide]

Copper Oxide is formed because the Carbonate is heated, and belive me, it´s not needed much heat to get a black CuO Solution :P

[jacubv]

ok, thx for the advice

by the way 5*

[strontiumperoxide]

So if you wanna get CuO, then place a beaker with DRY copper carbonate on your stove and heat it strongly until it's completly black, if the powder is wet or in water, half of the yield will contain metallic Copper. thank you for the rate ! :)

[antiswattt]

do you know where i can get copper sulfate? and am i right .. didnt astroliteG use copper sulfate in some of his flash powder compositions?

[strontiumperoxide]

Any dye or chemistry store sure have it. yes its a High temperature Oxidizer like all sulfates. it will only oxidize metals not organic fuels like charcoal.

[antiswattt]

cool... i was close to tke some of my dads charcoal for his water pipe.. astroliteG had a video of how to get kclo3 from hookah charcoal (those for waterpipe)

[antiswattt]

hm... theres this store ''matas'' which really got mad at me when i tried tobuy potassium permanganate s: and then i had to be 18 and then they asked what are you gonna se it for? -.^ ... its still sad ididnt just take it and run away /=

[strontiumperoxide]

Haha, You should dissolve matches in warm water if you wanna get KClO3 then filter of and again and again :P

[antiswattt]

i know.. i just boil away the water.. but.. do you think it would work with putting matches in water ? i mean.. would the match heads come off during the night? (: damn i really need to get away with all of those match sticks and boxes.. i have like.. 20 :O filled with match sticks,,

[strontiumperoxide]

Yes exactly, i did it today, not because i need any KClO3 or so, just to test if it works, and yes it does, remember to have a Clear solution before you boil it down! otherwise it might catch fire.

[antiswattt]

alright.. ill try it.. the thing that takes time is, to get all of the match powder off and then powder for making it dissolve in water faster.. ^_^ thnx
