In this video we make Nitric acid from sodium hydrogen sulfate instead of concentrated sulfuric acid.

i think you could probably get a better yeild and less nitrogen dioxide formation by adding some water along with the salts. it would give a lower end concentration, but the lower temperatures would make it allot safer, and cause less decomposition of the nitric acid.

@Dunescha Will try... How much water would you guess would need to be added?

[jeriellsworth]

I like that you roll your sleeves up and try things.

[myst32YT]

@jeriellsworth This is why I like your videos too!!

[spotlightman1234]

i'm going to make a video on making nitric acid soon if you want to copy my method you can because your video will be a billion times better than mine just give me credit (duh)

[myst32YT]

@spotlightman1234 Sure... Pm me how you make it...

[andreh4eva]

@Agentoxedo07 yes it will work, but also require a high temperature to be achieved

Holy-Terrorist:>*=* I confused to look [Make Nitric Acid using Sodium Hydrogen] me know of using sodium metal and hydrogen gaz to make nitric acid in right of this URL video /watch?v=TOOJ1GPAS0w

><D lol

*=* Good stuff to using sodium hydrogen sulfate[NaHSO4] for a solid acid using to make a acid with mixed in potassium nitrate, is possible to make hydrochloric acid with sodium chloride or potassium chloride!

@myst32YT probably 150 ml because when boiled they will dissolve and make a conc. solution

@AlChemicalLife

24/40 are good size joints for general use, and its what I've got on mine . . .consider 19/26 an absolute minimum as they are often too small.

If the parts are new, then it does seem like a reasonable price. Ground glassware is very expensive to produce because of the extreme uniformity required, and that's why it is much more costly than standard lab glassware without these joints.

[AlChemicalLife]

Pt from my other comment is that a god price for the distiller

[AlChemicalLife]

Is this distiller 24/40 joints? If so where did u get it. I'm getting mine from eBay ..Is 165$ for a distilling kit that comes with 5 flasks 2 condensers a bleed tube an a sep. funnel

@AlChemicalLife

Well, if you enjoy chemistry like me, then perhaps yes . . .

@myst32YT

See NurdRage's video on making hydrochloric acid . . .he adds water for the same reason and explains it.

@AlChemicalLife dude i didn't write that to you its someone thats always hacking my account 

[AlChemicalLife]

@thegodofchemistry  how about u shut your 11 year old mouth up. i cant spell but u know what im a lot more mature then u. GO FUCK OFF
