What you made is sort of like how lime is made in a lime kiln. They cook sea shells and chalk (CaCO3) until it becomes CaO. Similarly, it reacts readily with water, creates tones of heat, and forms a hard brick when the reaction is done. It's also highly caustic.

A common trick when welding and brazing cast iron is to cover the piece with fire resistant blankets to make it cool down at a slower rate to avoid cracking, and I'm thinking that it might work for the glassware in the heating mantle as well.

Water saturated molecules are handy as a component in fire resistant intumescent coatings because they suck so much heat. It sets a hard limit on the temperature that can be transmitted through the coating until the water content is totally depleted, by which time there should be a thick protective carbon foam.
Interesting. Makes sense though, it's basically powdered water, and you take advantage of water's specific heat plus the heat required to break the molecule. I wonder how it'd do putting out fires that "normal" water typically struggles with, namely grease, gasoline, and alcohol.
@@decidiousrex They actually do use powders to take out fires(there are even powder-based fire extinguishers), though from what I understand, it works by cutting fire from oxygen.
The only reason I have any idea what you mean is because I’m apprenticing in carpentry. That’s interesting though, good to know the science behind the technology.
To be fair, he's the guy with the chemistry degree and is working for himself, so he's allowed to absorb liability for his own decisions. The rest of us aren't, so the liability would be with our employer or school.
You know, I always think about that. Like who is actually more reliable/knows about their subject more. Someone who has gone and gotten a degree in a subject, and has job in it, but doesn't care about it and knows enough to just have their job. Versus someone that's so passionate in their subject, and spends every moment the can learning about it, but doesn't have a job in their particular field/subject.
I'm a chemical engineer, and I actually make anhydrous Mag Sulf at my work. It's a real PITA to work with for multiple reasons, one of which is shown briefly in the video. If you look at the final anhydrous salt, it has a sort of grey discoloration to it, which I bet is metal contamination from the blender blades. MgSulf is really abrasive, so we need to use pretty specialized hardened equipment to process it.
I have dyshidrotic eczema, it's basically a rare form of eczema that causes small blisters on you hands and feet. I often get infections from it, given my line of work. This type of eczema can last months at a time. It's actually a big part of my VA disability, since I started to get it when I was active duty. Anyways, back on topic. When I have break outs, I take epsom salt baths to help with infections and to sooth my skin. Since epsom salt is also an astringent, it helps cure the infections, and it helps with my very irritated skin. I love epsom salt. Now it's nice to know that in a pinch I can just heat some up and stay hydrated, lol, you know in the event there is an apocalypse.
knew someone with severe eczema who bathed with a small amount of bleach in his bath water because it somehow soothed his skin. very interesting to hear about how people treat their eczema. i hope you are in good health :)

Definitely of the more entertaining videos you've made too. I especially like the part where you were cracking that flask like an egg! Nice axe BTW! I'm one of those guys that feels good learning something every day, but you're doing stuff I've never considered. So, I'm learning about things I'd never do. Your scientific process is always sound and it's really impressive how you go about it. Top notch!
Thinking about it, solid crystals will take up more space than a liquid simply because of the air gaps between crystals. So 'about' half the container would be accurate.
Given a) 53% Of the CRYTALINE STRUCTURE is water & b) Airgaps Between crystals(thus inefficiency) Thus, that 3% is going to 'go up in smoke' Aergo "More than half of this is water" isn't a good presumption unless this was 1 solid crystal block. - it'd only be accurate to say "Approximately half the container is water; as The crystaline-compound compound is techincally 53% water" And then just drop the 53% instead of saying "more than half of this is water" For someone who clings to that 3% so much, he certainly didn't make any effort to actually like, MEASURE whaat he put into the beaker, by weight and then compare the evaporated->Condensated water. 1kg would be plenty to show the proof.

Probably a great acquisition for you would be a ball-mill. They are designed for crushing rocks and metals into powders, which likely will be useful for many future projects.
The only problem is they can contaminate it with small amounts of whatever metal the ball is made of, that just wouldn't have been an issue in this case since the powder was just being heated and the water was the real focus of the experiment. If he were working with metals, iron contamination might cause issues.

Fun Story: My mum bought epsom salt for something which I can’t exactly remember and she keep it in the kitchen (It was on the table in a plastic bag). The next day, when I was making coffee, I noticed that we had run out of sugar and I saw the epsom salt next to me and mistook as sugar (It looked very similar and both come in blue plastic bags with no labels) So I added it into my coffee and the sugar container. I didn’t notice it tasted different because I had Covid at the time couldn’t taste anything. Needless to say, I took a lot of dumps that day. EDIT: for everyone asking me why I was putting sugar in my coffee when I couldn’t taste it, it’s called “force of habit”.
Then if you couldn’t taste put some dye in some water and ad caffeine from the coffee even is it would take a long time or just don’t eat it with sugar if you can’t taste it.

Still one of my favorite videos. I've used Epsom salts for years as a caregiver and just in my own home. I never realized what kind of composition it was or that it kind of served as a great example of why some things we use in our daily life are as processed as they are. I don't subscribe to the belief that more or less processed are markedly better, but the tidbit at the end illustrating why ease of use and even safety might be why epsom salts are sold this way really takes away some of the edge on "evil misinformed scams in a bottle" that can clump around most household items.
Nice to see this process. There's almost no video content of processing any form of salt hydrates and there are dozens of combinations. I actually found the brick forming really interesting. I figured it would happen just going off the chemistry and papers but seeing how hard it is and how it surpasses water ice in its durability is interesting.
I have enjoyed NileRed’s videos for a long time. Along with Cody'sLab and some others. I have a fair number of subscriptions :) As an aside, I think UA-cam is putting checkmark comments near the top nowadays…
Hey there! I'm a chemist too -- love love love your videos! The second you described your procedure, I said "Niiiile it's gonna decompose at that temp!"

Interesting. Makes sense though, it's basically powdered water, and you take advantage of water's specific heat plus the heat required to break the molecule. I wonder how it'd do putting out fires that "normal" water typically struggles with, namely grease, gasoline, and alcohol.

Top notch!
I’m sorry but the line “50% of it is water , that’s about half the container” reminds me of “every 60 seconds in Africa is a minute “
Thinking about it, solid crystals will take up more space than a liquid simply because of the air gaps between crystals. So 'about' half the container would be accurate.
.
53% of it is water. Half the container it is not. It was properly worded.
Ah yes the floor here is made of floor
Given a) 53% Of the CRYTALINE STRUCTURE is water & b) Airgaps Between crystals(thus inefficiency)
Thus, that 3% is going to 'go up in smoke'
Aergo "More than half of this is water" isn't a good presumption unless this was 1 solid crystal block. - it'd only be accurate to say "Approximately half the container is water; as The crystaline-compound compound is techincally 53% water"
And then just drop the 53% instead of saying "more than half of this is water"
For someone who clings to that 3% so much, he certainly didn't make any effort to actually like, MEASURE whaat he put into the beaker, by weight and then compare the evaporated->Condensated water.
1kg would be plenty to show the proof.

It's very interesting because it keeps you watching and interested.
Probably a great acquisition for you would be a ball-mill. They are designed for crushing rocks and metals into powders, which likely will be useful for many future projects.
Would glass balls make sense to prevent any metals mixing in or would they not work? I imagine it wouldn't do much but worth a try?
Didnt nile eaven use a ballmill a few years back
The only problem is they can contaminate it with small amounts of whatever metal the ball is made of, that just wouldn't have been an issue in this case since the powder was just being heated and the water was the real focus of the experiment. If he were working with metals, iron contamination might cause issues.

Thank you for explaining chemical processes and informing me about Epsom Salts.

Fun Story: My mum bought epsom salt for something which I can’t exactly remember and she keep it in the kitchen (It was on the table in a plastic bag).
The next day, when I was making coffee, I noticed that we had run out of sugar and I saw the epsom salt next to me and mistook as sugar (It looked very similar and both come in blue plastic bags with no labels)
So I added it into my coffee and the sugar container. I didn’t notice it tasted different because I had Covid at the time couldn’t taste anything.
Needless to say, I took a lot of dumps that day.
EDIT: for everyone asking me why I was putting sugar in my coffee when I couldn’t taste it, it’s called “force of habit”.
This is suprisingly funny. I'm sorry to hear that you're sick. Hope you're fine rn.
Then what’s the point for the sugar

Then if you couldn’t taste put some dye in some water and ad caffeine from the coffee even is it would take a long time or just don’t eat it with sugar if you can’t taste it.

Still one of my favorite videos. I've used Epsom salts for years as a caregiver and just in my own home. I never realized what kind of composition it was or that it kind of served as a great example of why some things we use in our daily life are as processed as they are.
I don't subscribe to the belief that more or less processed are markedly better, but the tidbit at the end illustrating why ease of use and even safety might be why epsom salts are sold this way really takes away some of the edge on "evil misinformed scams in a bottle" that can clump around most household items.
