Turning Table Salt into Acid (All About Acids)
In this video, I give you some insight into the amazing world of acids and make some hydrochloric acid from the good ol' table salt, also now you can flex your newly acquired knowledge to somebody who still thinks acids are like in the movies. Hell yeah.
Keep in mind that I simplified a lot of things to make them easier to understand for people who don't read chemistry journals for fun and spend their life savings on glassware and chemicals.

    One thing you need to understand with distillation of anything, be it volatile solvents like etoh or polymers like cannabinoids, is patience is key. And if you have low wattage, low surface area (compared to a wiper or falling film), restricted vapor flow like 24/40 joints, and low wattage… Well. You’re either going to have to be VERY patient, or be comfortable with sub-100ml quantities.

    Steam distillation of cinnamon isn't recommended its a mucilage an will congel into a solid mass Thus poses a significant risk of clogging your Distillation setup and exploding from the pressure! Just look online regarding percolating Cinnamon and the dangers it presents.

      I am curious if you are using a positive air flow with filtered clean air intakes out away from the room and vent? It might sound like overkill but it is easier to breath and much safer than relying on a filter and seal.

  • @noone-ez6on

    Iirc copper (II) ions react with Iodide in redox that gives off copper (I) iodide and free iodine in 2:1 ratio. It would mean using more iodide salt but one might be able to just skip that reduction by sulfite. Though, it's probably just a question of if you want to deal with some sulfut dioxide smell or iodine vapours. Might be an insteresting way to make some iodine crystals though.

    Would you by any chance be able to make phenolic resin? It’d be so interesting to see the full process. I’ve done some looking on UA-cam and nothing up now is all that great. Also they’re all veeery old videos. So yeah if phenolic resin is a challenge you’d be willing to take on I’d be so so so so grateful and interested!!!

    ive always liked the idea of bioplastic, it seems like a simple fix to the plastic issue but when you REALLY think about replacing plastic with this stuff it seems like it wont cut it, a lot of the time plastic is meant to keep bacteria out, if I had a bioplastic zip lock bag, could I use it the same way? If i leave it sitting on my desk with chips in it for a week would it properly keep the air out or would it start to degrade? that's what I wonder as well how log would it take to degrade in a household environment? also is it sticky? cause that would be a problem if it dissolves in water than air moisture would likely get to it... TLDR I love the idea but I wish we could make a kind that only becomes biodegradable once something specific is done to it so "dispose" of it Also WHAY IS EVERYONE SO OBSESSED WITH EATING IT??? Can we go more in the Make it useful rather than make it more edible dang! why yall wanna eat plastic so bad? more sugar = more degradable = shorter lifespan I want it to go away but not before im done using it as plastic, if im gunna eat it i wouldn't use it as plastic....

    3:12 "Handy dandy yellow streeeeps" is the most persistent earworm I've had in such a long time. It makes me so happy. I've been giggling for days on end, seemingly apropos of nothing to anyone unfortunate enough to witness, just hearing it repeat in my head. I believe it is contributing significantly to a rapid decline in my overall mental state, and i couldnt care less because it is so goddamn hilarious to me.

    Try putting a good handful of table salt into the ice-water baths, it will significantly bring the liquid water temperature down, closer to the temperature of the ice. I imagine it would stay at a low temperature longer too. Alternatively you could just put a very strong saltwater solution ( not supersaturated, keep adding salt until it stops dissolving) in a freezer for a few days. I found that a chest freezer works best.

    I see my magnetic mixer hot plate design got produced, gotta love that Apple security that’s only good if they want it to protect you but you’d have to be “in The Club” for that to be the case. Almost 70% of my invention ideas have been developed since I started keeping them on my comp, I’ve never had money to develop even one. I solved the electric car distance problem so you didn’t have to stop for long periods to recharge but that was built over sees to almost exactly what I had, they don’t get everything right because they don’t have the brains and the only reason the other 30% isn’t created yet is because it’s too hard to understand my drunken notes, I can’t even understand most of them. Why bother with inventions when the patents don’t do anything for you but they do somehow protect huge corporations that fund the Deep State so that’s nice. I’m tortured like the original Tesla when the Deep State went after him.
