Chemical milk! (HD)

Making milk the chemical way!
Dedicated to my friend Didrik147, that loves milk (and chemistry)!

Lead Nitrate + sodium bicarbonate = Lead Hydrogen Carbonate + Sodium Nitrate
2NaHCO3(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) = Pb(HCO3)2(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)
Transparent liquid + Transparent liquid = White liquid

No cows where injured during recording.
The Lead Nitrate solution was not totally transparent in this video, but I should be ;)

And btw! Dont drink this!

You didn't mention that it was the lead bicarbonate that precipitated. ;)

An amusing movie indeed!

Thanks! :D

Lead bicarbonate is the same as Lead Hydrogen Carbonate.

Just like Sodium bicarbonate (Baking soda / natron) and Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate (Baking soda / natron)

Why does milk precipitate at pH4 without carbohydrates and does not precipitate at the same pH with carbohydrates?

I'm pretty sure that it was just lead carbonate formed ultimately in the reaction. When you added the sodium bicarbonate solution to the lead nitrate solution, I saw a gas be evolved which i'm guessing to be carbon dioxide. The formation of CO2 tells me that the reaction initially formed lead bicarbonate but much of it decomposed in to CO2 and lead carbonate. Also i love milk and chemistry and this video increased my love for them both. I don't like lead poisoning much though so i wont drink it.

@milkiorange double displacement and decomposition actually.

mix cooking oil water and washing up liquid and you got milk

[aviationfrk9]

but does it smell like milk?

jk :P

[DanielGladiLinn]

Now drink

[mewrox99]

This is the best kinda milk. Great for the brain ;P

[Computerfreaq15]

hmm, and this makes real milk? SWEET!!!

[cattajk]

Haha, fantastic!!! Good thing that no cows were injured during recording. Save the cows! Five stars from me =)

mmmmmmmmmmm that looks tasty jk
