Sodium Reacts with Four Acids

http://www.FreeScienceLectures.com

Here is an experiment where sodium reacts with four different acids - 6M HCl, 12M HCl, 6M HNO3 and 15M HNO3.

The reaction with 15M HNO3 is the fastest and 12M HCl is the slowest reaction and it still hasn't all reacted even after 75 seconds

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[WTFisJamieUp2]

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

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 :)

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