I remember my middle school science teacher doing this before recess, and when the bell ring the reaction didn't happen yet. When everyone came back and when the chemical reaction happened, nobody believed the teacher lol. Me and a few other students were the only ones that saw it
Same. Part of me wants to say it's fake but part of me also wants to say it's real. Knowing the track record of Nile Red staying true to his experiments though, I think it might be the latter.
We did this in our last ever chemistry class in school and tried to make it change to black on beat to some beethoven by mixing different concentrations. It started off well, me and my friend got the first 2 on beat but then one guy forgot to add the starch in so it went red brown instead and then after that the majority were off beat. Was honestly one of the funniest things I'd ever been part of and makes me miss that class so much, good times
And then the nitrogen triiodide goes off into a purple cloud of sonic assault. (At least that's what happened last time someone "showed me cool chemistry")
Love this guy and his chemistry set it was never like this for me back in the 70s with my chemistry set back then it never went right the amount of times I tried to blow things up but they always turned out duds
We did a similar experiment in my analytical chemistry lab last semester, titration of ascorbic acid using the iodine and starch, that deep dark blue colour is magical indeed ✨ Happy to see some of what I learn on the internet capturing people's attention!
For future reference NileRed, when dissolving cornstarch, it is best not to mix it in boiling water, as it tends to clump. First, dissolve the cornstarch in a small amount of cold water, then add the hot water to that solution
He does explain everything about it, on his main video. These shorts are made mostly for attracting viewiers to the channel, and the explanation wouldn't fit in this size of video.
This is the most awesome redox reaction. Really. You allow vitamin C to react with hydrogen peroxide at the same time allowing iodine to react with starch forming the blue colored complex.
The shorts are awesome but it would be really cool if you could do some longer videos explaining what is chemically happening in your vids, like the “iodine clock reaction”, I’m sure many of us would love to know what the hell just happened lol
when I was in college, I had to do this experiment. It was exhausting, because I had to measure how long it takes to change color depending on the temperature and concentration of the solutions, so I had to prepare many solutions with precise concentrations.
Every thing Nile does looks like magic. My man literally became a fire bender(Pretty realistic). This is just a video where he acknowledges that what he does is magic.
The ingredients in this reaction are really simply, mostly stuff people will have just laying around their house. A lot of the reactions you do are cool but impractical unless you get tons of strange ingredients or expensive equipment, but this is something anyone can easily do on their own. Despite how easy it is, it's still a really cool and interesting reaction.
He said sometime this month, remember he did have to move his lab & he's been working on a bunch of long videos as well as shorts...they'll be back soon!😊
Would it be possible to simplify the entire procedure by creating the vitamin C solution from just water soluble vitamin C crystals? For folks in the States, ascorbic acid powder in the supplement aisle should be as affordable and readily available. Thus I was wondering if extracting it from pill form with all of the powder fillers and binders is necessary to the reaction or yet another undue hardship rendered upon the Canadian retail consumer? 😸
I did a similar reaction for some high schoolers who came and toured my lab. I can’t remember exactly the chemicals, but it included a cyanide derivative and some luminol. Instead of turning dark blue, it would pulse a pale blue light.
We had this similar topic during our quantity analysis this summer and it was hard because it wasn't explained to us properly due to online classes it was called Assay of Ascorbic Acid.
The effect would be even more impressive if all the footage before the sudden reaction wasn’t in fast motion. The way the video is edited, it gives the illusion that the color change is in fast motion as well.
Reminds me of an old experiment i did in the university lab. I don't exactly remember what it was about but i needed something to percipitate out while i heated the solution. It didn't do anything for quite some time and i got worried. Then i just shaked it around a bit then it immediately changed color and dropped stuff in front of my eyes. It was amazing.
thank you algorithm for recommending this video+channel to me. i thought you quit youtube!! its been 3 months since the last post on your main channel 😭
YAY!!! A fellow Canadian doing this video (: The label is in both of our main languages, English and French and the weight is in grams (: plus it also says Canada on the label, heh
I work in a hospital pharmacy - we literally had all the components on hand and we tried it! Very fun! It worked without filtering but didn’t look as nice as in video
Thanks to Nile, I was able to discover this kind of experiment and perform at my school as an exhibition project!! We won the prize too, credits to Nile
Love how coffee filters are nessasary in any environment

Nice

you know its bad when your chemist friend says " Hes going to show something cool "

The reaction is pretty cool and God did make the laws and chemicals involved :)
@@bens.8787 What was the og comment?
This is the time when NileRed make something "carefully"
he did spill some pills 0:44
❤️.
Are you sure about that?
@@ravenvalt2406 thats tame compared to "dropping" uranium
no, his main videos are almost all done very carefully. the shorts are just exaggerated for humourous effect.
"...To do this, i'll need some pills"
**drops out of hands**
"Made"?
Haha so funny
@Fax What is with these kinds of videos being posted in comments?
Thanks for the captions
Essential lab equipment
- coffee filters
- hammer
- blow torch
Does hands counts as equipment??
No.
@@brawmankerlexterminateurde860 Well, i could use a hand recreating this mixture. 😂
And a bunch of smelly things with funny names
protip from a cook: starch dissolves much more easily in cold liquids!
Dang I didn't know that. That's why you use cold milk in custard!
@@gemhunter498 Yeah, corn starch wants to clump up in hot water. Learned this the art way when making some egg-drop soup.
Possibly he was trying to supersaturate it?
@@DavidGuild he couldve heated it afterward tho
@@hecticscone That's the opposite of how supersaturation works? Unless I'm misunderstanding something.
It's so smooth that it looks edited in, I love it

This is correct, you have to make a slurry if you don't want to have to deal with a hassle.
Didn’t know we had a Cornstarchologist in comments
“Mix corn starch with water…”
Coke: He figured out the secret recipe!
Lol ikr
Wait it was the secret recipe?
You mean corn syrup?
@Memes shorts
**reloads the gun for 7 months**
you have chosen death
Okay guys it’s time to hit the panic button.
He didn’t destroy anything
THIS CANNOT BE NILERED
Well, he dropped the vitamin pills
he destroyed the pills i guess
@@pcpt this is not wrong I guess then
He did dropped vitamin c pills... So I think he must be a little out of his health but still its NileRed....
He destroy the pills that counts
this and the chemical traffic light demo are legit my favourite ones! nothing gets people interested like some chemical "magic" :D
Sufficiently advanced technology.
Is indistinguishable from magic - Arthur C Clarke
I’ve seen this before but it looks even crazier when it happens while he’s pouring it, so trippy
Physics is weird m.ua-cam.com/video/kIKEG9kSplI/v-deo.html
"The next thing I need to do is make the part 'A'."
Shows a bottle with a giant "C".
I hated chemistry when I was in highschool but for some reason I can't stop watching your videos! lol
I was hoping at the end you would give us a short explanation about the chemistry behind this!
Same. It’s not a magic trick so it’s not like any secrets are being divulged or anything.
He does explain everything about it, on his main video.
These shorts are made mostly for attracting viewiers to the channel, and the explanation wouldn't fit in this size of video.
We've done this before on one of our assays back in college (Pharmaceutical Analysis). I'm so happy you made it fun to watch this.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS SO MUCH
This is the most awesome redox reaction. Really. You allow vitamin C to react with hydrogen peroxide at the same time allowing iodine to react with starch forming the blue colored complex.
Nile's standard: 2 minutes is short
A real classic to see. Always nice to see great content from a fellow chemistry buff 👍
I liked the pour while it changed colours, it really shows up well.
The shorts are awesome but it would be really cool if you could do some longer videos explaining what is chemically happening in your vids, like the “iodine clock reaction”, I’m sure many of us would love to know what the hell just happened lol

Nice one. Always been curious about this
One of my favorite reactions right here!

Magic is science in a way but he makes it cooler
The ingredients in this reaction are really simply, mostly stuff people will have just laying around their house. A lot of the reactions you do are cool but impractical unless you get tons of strange ingredients or expensive equipment, but this is something anyone can easily do on their own.

I love science and your channel. Thank you.
Thanks for the landscape
Whenever I see full thumbnails like this I get excited for a main channel video… this isn’t one, but it’s still great
I'm pretty sure he did a main channel video on this reaction though.
@@MudakTheMultiplier yeah but I’ve probably already watched it lmao
@@Has-uo1lq fair enough.
Damn I wasn’t expecting it to change color that fast
If it's stirred really well, it goes even faster.
No one did and its was like being edited
Woah this is amazing to watch 🔥🔥
This video is more soothing than anything else
I loved it when he said: "next thing I have to do is make part A" and the first thing he does is show a bottle with a giant C 😂😂
When are long videos coming back?!?
I have the same question 😢
I miss them so much
considering each one takes several months to make, probably just when he’s done
He said sometime this month, remember he did have to move his lab & he's been working on a bunch of long videos as well as shorts...they'll be back soon!😊
late this month or early next month
Thought it looked really cool that it changed as you were pouring it. Weird...but cool. Nice timing!
Yooooo, I was hoping you would do this!!!
Give that to someone saying to hold on to it for a minute as you quickly go grab something and watch their reaction, that's pretty cool though!
This looks sick
i love that you showed that reaction, it is used in pharmaceutical sciences to determine amount of vitamin c in unknown sample
That was pretty dope !!
Can we get more Nile blue videos. Please 🥺
Cornstarch + H2O2 + Vit. C + iodine = blue stuff
I really love ur videos
dude that looks awesome
The cool chemistry teacher we all wanted...
That's a fact pathfinder

That was BEAUTIFULLY timed for mid pour!

As they say, Magic is just Science we haven’t understood yet.
True
it's the other way around
@@orlamarch721 what

@@supreme2585 Thank you! This is the exact reaction.
@@JetFalcon710 See SUPREME's comment below (above?). That's the exact reaction.
Pouring was awesome. We need a high speed camera version.
This is sooo cool! 😍
"To do this, I'll need some pills"
This is how I get most of my reactions going too.
finally something that i can do at home
Another one you can do at home is to combine peroxide, soap, and yeast. It will make a lot of bubbles.
@@gemhunter498 you are right
It’s so cool that you can perform this experiment simply with household materials
Thank you for your demonstration.
I have learned more from this guy, than all of my science classes combined.
Why did you put a comma, in the middle of your sentence?
@@CreeperPookie he might have just, felt it was appropriate.
Wow, this really looks something a Magician will do
A magic? You mean a magician??

We had this similar topic during our quantity analysis this summer and it was hard because it wasn't explained to us properly due to online classes it was called Assay of Ascorbic Acid.
Wow, you finally refrained from destroying something at the end of your video.
I think soon these "shorts" will suddenly be normal length, like Nigel became dummy thicc by drinking gallons of chocolate milk
To be honest, many chemical reactions do look like magic.
He was very gentle when crushing the pill compaired to opening the bottle xD
I love how professional he is
The effect would be even more impressive if all the footage before the sudden reaction wasn’t in fast motion. The way the video is edited, it gives the illusion that the color change is in fast motion as well.
Teacher: “Young man, why are you late for class?”
Student: “My iodine clock was late.”
Teacher: “Impressive.”
I'm reading the comments to make sure it's not edited in, this is one of my favorite experiments you've done for sure
The fact it happenrd right in the middle of pouring in another vessel was just absolutely perfect, makes it clear how fast(slow?) The reaction was
This reaction is definitely a paradox. It's both slow, and fast. It's very contradicting within itself.
Reminds me of an old experiment i did in the university lab. I don't exactly remember what it was about but i needed something to percipitate out while i heated the solution. It didn't do anything for quite some time and i got worried. Then i just shaked it around a bit then it immediately changed color and dropped stuff in front of my eyes. It was amazing.
THAT LOOKED SO COOL
Hard to believe this isnt edited, cool experiment!
That timing was pretty sweet
Ikr
My gen chem professor showed my clsss this reaction virtually last year. It’s pretty freaking cool, if I do say so myself.
Great! Coffee filters are now useful
This is very exquisite reaction and we use in Chem-E-Car competition.
I already did this experiment in my chemistry class once, it was very cool
my chem teacher just did this 2 days ago, super dope experiment
I remember doing this for a science fair in 4th grade, I should do it again sometime for old time's sake
He must be/ would be the coolest uncle/dad for his family
Wow!
Awesome 👍

Hello all! I first thought Nile was going to demonstrate a Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction
This reminds me of my O level practical exams where I had to do this titration experiment using these chemicals
Nile in 5 years: Making cocaine out of coconuts
Did he timelapsed video or my eyes did it. That was incredible!
I think he's showing the reaction while pouring the liquid from one beaker to another to show that it's not sped up, it just looks that cool
Thanks to Nile, I was able to discover this kind of experiment and perform at my school as an exhibition project!! We won the prize too, credits to Nile
