  • This makes Sodium chlorate... if thoes rods are Carbon ....

  • @darksideofthebrick13

    You have to melt salt, the electrolyse it. The only problem is the temperature needed to melt NaCl.

  • Please drink that....

  • yes i researched a little bit.

  • you can't obtain sodium through electrolysis in water. Sodium (and Potasium as well) is so reactive element that it breaks down water molecule and forms solution of base NaOH. However you could try to separate cathode from water with special membrane or separator-gel. As far as I know no one extracted sodium with this method.

  • search nighthawkinlight sodium.. he makes sodium metal.. the stuff that reacts with water (:

  • i want to get sodium thru a reaction can anyone help me out?

  • hm.. sounds sad q; you could just try the matches method (: i use it and i got videos on how to..

  • hey backyard.. can you tell me if i take a wire.. that can be plugged in electricity (thing?) like a phone charger.. then i split it in 2 and then i connect the copper wires from in it to 2 carbon electrodes will this work? like in sodium chloride solution (: my method ATM is by getting it from matches.. not completely pure and alot of mess when getting it :/ please reply (:

  • retard0800 have you tried the thing? im doing alot of pyro myself and i would like to get some pure sodium chlorate (:
