- I refine some silverware into a pure silver bar.
There seems to be some missing video at around 7:12 not sure why... This has happened before. There is nothing important so I have instructed UA-cam to just remove the blank segment, lets see if they do it.

Yay!!!
+Cody'sLab You rock Cody!
+Cameron Hall good boyyyyy! want a treat?
you're welcome Cody 😆
I think the gas coming out of the silver bar while the cooling process is actually oxygen gas. Silver in the liquid state has the ability to dissolve oxygen gas, wich comes out of the solution when the silver hardens. This gives you a rough an sometimes even a sponge like texture to your silver bar. That is one of the main reasons why the stirling silver was invented, because this alloy does not absorbe any oxygen gas. Give it a like so maybe Cody will read my comment :D
+joe doe
You might be right
+Cody'sLab but maybe your explanation about the flux and the carbon dioxide isn't to bad either, could be also a combination of both! btw i really love your channel, it's so much fun to watch and educating at the same time. I like how you combine different fields of science like chemistry, geology etc. and just make it so entertaining to watch. keep up the great work!
+joe doe I don't think it's CO2. I've melted silver before with borax and sodium carbonate as flux and it doesn't fizz like this when solidifying. Sodium carbonate is useful btw because it will reduce any leftover AgCl to metallic silver.
+Cody'sLab this may go back to my post yesterday about purging the crusable with nitrogen or argon. I'm not sure which when dealing with silver. should be a pretty basic build.
Yup he is, the "crabby surface is a sign of silver's high purity, just like the "pipe" on the gold button
“Gloves give you a false sense of security”

I mean it is dry so probably could be done with bare hands even (not that I’d recommend that).

Why are you dissolving Moles in acid? I know they mess up the lawn but .. acid!
I hope you actually know what this kind of mole is.
;)
;)
+Sebastian Schumacher what kind? Swedish person is confused
+Lucas Jonsson A "mole" in chemistry is a way in which chemists are able to quantify the number of molecules present in a substance. Specifically, one mole is 6.02 x 10^23 molecules. No matter what element you are referring to, one mole is always made up of this same number of molecules, however one mole of an element like Hydrogen, will WEIGH much less than one mole of a substance like Gold, even though they have the same number of molecules.
One of the better analogies that I have heard is that you can think of the chemistry term "mole," similarly to how you would use the term "a dozen." You can have a dozen eggs, and you can have a dozen elephants, you still have the same number of each, 12, but the weight of the 12 elephants will be far greater than the weight of the 12 eggs.
After the video clip at 7:12 the audio desyncs for the rest of the video. Has anyone else had this issue?
I'm having the same issue, surprised I don't see more comments about it. Although I have seen this video before and I don't recall an audio desync so I'm guessing it's a UA-cam problem? Idk tho. Weird
It seems to be happening to several of the older videos
@@flykintoun I've noticed it too on several of his videos. It almost makes them unwatchable. Perhaps UA-cam is doing it intentionally.
@@rorypenstock1763 What, like a conspiracy? UA-cam management intentionally desyncs videos to make them unwatchable as opposed to... just deleting them and banning Cody's channel?
Love these mining/refining videos! A+
Too bad you'll always be a worthless loser, who puts fake 'Verified Channel' checks in their profile names. Easy to spot. Easy to expose.
Everyone click on the ads so Cody can get his money back lol
Yes
+Reyzas i totally will do it. tnx for advice.
+Reyzas lel be careful youtube will sometimes take away partnership because spikes of ad revenue.
+Reyzas how does that work?
+Reyzas I disabled my adblock for cody's channel to help him out a bit
I love how rough and ready everything is. It's a great way to see chemistry in action. Brilliant stuff.
They said that acid makes food a bit more sour. So I decided to use hydrochloric acid in my lemon pie. Wasn't a good idea
Oops
Pi Guy lol
I usually wait for the food to get inside of me before i let it touch hydrochloric acid
I tasted hydrochloric, nitric and sulfuric acid. I can tell you that was not good experience
@@user-mj8hv5gu4c I bet, those can be pretty nasty chemicals. One of the worst imo is sodium bisulfite. We use it where I work in the RO water system and if you get a whiff of it, it burns your nose and leaves a weird taste in your mouth for a while, like raw peanuts, lol
Nothing like a nice long cody's lab video to start the day. Thanks for taking the time to make this Cody
Dat Bernie flash tho
I've been binge watching your videos for about 6-8 hours now, I've lost track. You sir, have not only gained a sub, you've brought my interest back in Chemistry I had forgotten about. Men like you just want to watch the world learn. Thank you man.
Just found your channel today and I've been watching all night. Your channel is the typical channel you regret you didn't find earlier when you do find them. You've earned a sub! :D
same its 2 am and i cant stop watching
+Miguel Vaz OMG SAME!!!!!!
Cody, you should know, that this is one of the most interesting chemistry series I've ever seen. Had I only had something like this during my high school chemistry classes to really drive home all of the stuff we were learning... seriously, this is a really excellent series and I always look forward to them.
The "I saw it" had me rolling. Love the videos btw.
i love how you explain every little bit of information
I love these science experiments done in a way to educate and illuminate each step with clarity. Thanks for the videos, they have been great fun and a learning experience.
You saw it, we saw it.
That little lump was seen by everyone! XD
I love how he does like mad science right on his door step.
I love that you give time lapses of the reactions. Gives a lot of info about what to expect as it progresses. :)
I can't stop watching these videos! Just plain awesome.
Science is soooooo coooool!!! even though i'm not good at all at it and i don't understand what most you are talking about i coulld just listen to you talk about it all day. Science just fascinates me! i love just hearing you talk about it and see the reactions. every form of it honestly. I found you last night and i've been just watching all of your videos. keep up the good work! maybe i'll actually learn something. :P
+Taryn Trimarco Same here, found you yesterday and watched most of your vids xD
You just like the pretty colors c(: me too lol
science is easy if you played attention in science class so that's why you don't understand a thing he's saying
Hey Cody, I had an idea for another video you could do in the future, if you like. I was watching the silver darkening in the sunlight and at first I thought it was a light sensitive reaction like Silver Nitrate, and it made me think it would be really awesome if you could make your own photographic film and take a picture with it. Perhaps you could make your own Tintype camera and show us how the photo materials and chemicals work. That would be very cool.
+USWaterRockets This ^^
sounds interesting haha
at the end of one of my recent videos i was trying to use silver chloride to detect radiation.
USWaterRockets I
USWaterRockets is
Thank you Cody. Your videos are great and I really appreciate watching them.
Thank you for your time doing this. A real hands on view of how refining works.
You lost money and gained knowledge....sounds like a totally fair trade to me.
+LambOfLucifer Well it costs less than college :P
he may gain money silver has declined but may rise after elections
+Rail Fanning not if Donald trump becomes president hue
Marty Camenzind Actually, if dollar goes down, I think silver will have a greater value than at the time when he bought it.
He gained knawledge
man i would not have bought that off EBAY, THRIFT STORES..they have less than average employees, at least once a week i find sterling sliver plates, bowls, salt pepper shakers, not plated pure sterling..i got a bowl for 4 dollars..its weight was 1 kilo sterling. guess how much money i made..and it was some kind of antique french artist bowl from the early 1920s so it ebayed for sliver weight at start..and ended up getting me 800 dollars for the art..i was asking 450 start as it was sterling and not pure..that was my best find ever..so now i can spot that stuff a mile away, if its junk sterling meaning bent up, cant be resold for decor value..i refine it down..and sell it off.
what do you know about items that are marked like "600 sterling" ?
first.....and thats a antique peice marked 600, do you have a image of it, most marked like that are from outside usa, 600 i think is Egypt silver marking it should be .600 STERLING but sometimes they just put 600. but that is also as it looks should be 60% silver by weight. give or take..
forgot to mention ususally when the sliver content is that low there is the possiblity it is mixed with a more precious metals..such as platinum, or Rhodium, they use that to add a shine to gold and plat, and sliver jewlery..so i would at least test it cant hurt...
oh and one other thing and i swear ill stop replying to myself..lol thanks for posting this. if you did not see my comment on another video. many people who do this refining guard their knowlege like cerberus guards the gates of hell. me asking questions on a refining forum got me banned...becasue i was not posting answers in the form of questions like jepordy..and they said i needed to fail to learn, but i could not afford to fail at the start, chemical costs strapped me out for cash..i needed to just recoupe my losses not mess up completely and be out some 600 dollars for gear and start up...but DUDADESILSE.com has great chemical prices..as well and flasks, beakers, stir rods, pipettes, etc..
+Manic Morzan who wants chump and Hillary for dead
Man i watched this entire video and didn't get bored once. Great video
I love how all of these UA-cam folks (I rather not use personalities bc it implies it’s a fake reality-star-like persona), I been enjoying are so smart, down to earth, and explains what I already learnt in high school or university but in a much easier way to fully understand and retained. Kudos to you sir! Keep it up!
You forgot to put in video at 7:12 and the rest of it seems to be behind by that exact blank ammount (audio first, video way later)
When he showed the chem reaction my barin blew up.
Brain****
Ive been watching your videos for quite some time now, and I always rewatch videos since they're quite informative and well thought out.
Cody, i'm so happy for your vids! big tnx and "hi" from Latvia.
Sterling silver by description is 925, so if it's not 925 it's not sterling
Is the audio outmof sync for anybody else?
yes
+Arjen Hartink bung my booce
+EchoGenshu Yeah the description states that there is a videoclip missing maybe thats why its out of sync
+Dylan Sloan some one knows finally, no I am a caveman, I me no have money for pretzels
+Dylan Sloan me thank you
Thanks for the content, Cody. Thank you for the longer video as well !
I just wanna say, you're an incredible talented and bright individual. I follow a lot of youtube channels but you really stand out. You are pure, yourself and very humble. I have deep respect for you. I fear this will end up in the background scatter on youtube. But I have the upmost admiration for you. Keep up the great and inspiring work. Greetings from the Netherlands.
The Bernie 2016 frame made me laugh so much
Once you have the mine finished, and it's walls smoothed out,
you should name it "Erebor" and then hoard all your precious metals inside ;)
Love the videos! Keep up the good work :)
he doesn't have a dragon to guard it... and I think the dog is too friendly
re watching all old videos because its so awesome long live cody
You know man, a lot of channels on UA-cam I'm always waiting for the next new video with the old ones sort of getting left in the dust, but I can come back and watch your old videos any day and be satisfied. Really love your channel, Cody.
11:33 where ever you live, it's god damn gorgeous. Wow!

Hi Cody, so how would you go about turning that block of silver into wire? (about 5mm thick)
I buy silver wire for a lot of money, and the silver bars is considerably cheaper. They charge me over half the price of silver extra for just turning it into wire.
Any ideas?
+Psyfer you'd need to get it hot enough to be malleable then force it through a die, winding it or keeping it straight depending on your preference or use I'd assume.
+Psyfer google rolling mill like that r.ebay.com/PFcTKZ , or something like that r.ebay.com/2MKzhN
making wires is common problem in jewelry making - so one possibility to look in that direction
Great video again! High educational value, I like the explanation in all of the steps you show us, thumbs up!
Always fun to watch. Thanks!
Can you make Kryptonite? Batman needs to know :-)
Malc Webb dude you're a comedic genius
superman will be angry and sad as batman doesnt trust him although they were friends
"And of course x will react with y"
WELL YES OF COURSE
y i don't know
started watching from season 1 today.. i am hooked, so interesting i cant stop watching
Cody, you're my favorite science you tuber. Keep up the good work
95% of the time I do not know what you are talking about
😂Same
You can add some sulfuric acid and purify it to 100%
+HOPKIRK it's called having a sense of humor. Apparently you don't have one.
A sense of humour... give me a break, if it's one thing I do have, it's a sense of humour. You obviously don't get that some things are not to be made light of.... idiot.
HOPKIRK Everything can be made light of...literally *everything*. Especially here on the internet. If you can't deal with that, then I suggest you take your pathetic SJW ass off the internet, pumpkin. You can only get your feelings hurt here, Sensitive Suzy.
Hey Cody. Lets make a Cody's Lab pour mold for your silver bar. If you have a design I can CNC it out of a piece of steel, or whatever you think would work. Could be a fun little project.
Its been 2 years since this video came out, and 2 years since i finished highschool. Cant believe how much i didnt understand when i watched this video so long ago. Its like rewatching Old sit coms or disny movies and realizing little things.
In this instance, im a lot more aware of/about silver since ive been buying a couple ounces every month. Been getting into stacking and ive been taking it slowly trying to figure everytjing out.. And between going to pawnshops and looking around at different options through sellers like APMEX ive learned key terms like spot price, what A troy ounce is and much more. Thankyou for makeing this videos. Very insightfull and hopefully a couple more years from now i can have the same feeling with other videos from youre channel.
Like always, we learn something new with Cody's lab
anyone else see the Bernie 2016 flash on screen for 1 frame
Nathan Seward yes.
Nathan Seward I was so triggered I fucked up my laptop haha. My mom bought 2 though so it's cool.
Oh.
What's weird is I didn't notice it consciously but now that you say it I feel like I saw it somewhere.
Disgusting...
how many episodes are you going to upload? i like this episodes
+Mark de jager
I am planning on at least 12
+Cody'sLab don't stop there :)
+Cody'sLab the video is out of sink from about 7:17, maybe needs a re upload, still video is great
+Adio_ sinc* Major Difference
+Emre Ka sync*
i shouted at my screen when you reached your hand in that nitric acid, NITRIC ACID DISSOLVES GLOVES CODY
This video is full of beautiful blues.
Police ever show up from being called by a "worried" neighbour? "I watched Breaking Bad! He's making the meths!"
that would be amazing!
I don't think he has neighbours. Have you seen where he lives?
MPKampersand he has an apartment in the city
wutzibu ohh, never knew that. Probably doesn't do this shit there
i don't understand the majority of this, but its so entertaining! also, why do the acids and stuff turn blue or green sometimes?
most copper compounds are blue in solution form
Cody I try and give other UA-camrs a chance whenever exploring these forms of videos however I just can not get past your detail, cleanliness and plain out skill. Thank you
I keep doing the math and so far I believe UA-cam should about cover your losses. So awesome that you do these things and I really hope you break even or better as you totally deserve to!!
I always wonder if your neighbors think you are running some sort of meth lab from your house.
Alyosha Romanov Yeah his neighbors out in country are too far away and I doubt they care what goes on. It seems like he is at the college/university and it looks like he is living with his girlfriend in probably a rented house and it looks like the neighbors are pretty close. So I was wondering what the neighbors were thinking about all those fumes coming out of the steps leading down to the basement. I was also wondering what the landlord thinks.
I think Cody is great. I just hope he doesn't have the cops show up at his door one day or even bash it in because someone misunderstood something.
could you skip the step of converting the silver nitrate into silver chloride and just directly convert the silver nitrate into silver oxide using the sodium hydroxide?
yes actually, I did that in another video in fact. the problem is that I would also drop the copper form solution.
Ive been spending the past 2hours trying to understand this video and I've learned more chemistry from this than I do in school
So interesting to see things broken down and reformed!
I've been watching a lot of your videos after just recently discovering your channel and you've made silver chloride a few times. Have you ever considered trying to make your own photographic film?

Great video Cody, don't worry about the money, it's all about the science and having fun.
Thanks Cody, that was really interesting. On to the next video in the series
i really wish my chemistry teacher had done more practical demonstrations, this is much more interesting.
Another editing mistake? The video does not match the audio around 7:20

Cody, your videos are excellent.
take a shot everything you here "in fact."
great work doctor Cody.
In the beginning you say "some are marked as high as 800 and some as low as 400" if you are referring to silver content then NONE of it is actually Sterling which has to be .925 silver. Anything less is not legally marked sterling. Not sure why it would be marked Sterling if 800 is the highest silver content unless the seller stamped it.
all of them said sterling...
Probably Chinese. They have been known to counterfeit the Sterling mark.
I don't think that is the case with these, firstly there was silver in them and second, if they were going to go to the trouble of marking it "Sterling" they could either leave the numbers off or just put the right ones on there. Maybe the 800 and 400 refers to weight rather than percentage or the eBay seller(s) did not realize Sterling means 925 (or 92.5% silver) and stamped them in hopes of getting more money. It's not illegal to have flatware or hollow wear made out of coin silver or lower percentages, it just can't be marked "Sterling".
I love the videos though even if most of the chemistry jargon and math is waaaay over my head.
83fredly 800 silver is typically german or italian it's a common practice for chinese sellers to buy this cheaper silver stamp it as sterling and resell it at a higher price.
I just love how Deadpool is just casually watching videos on extracting precious metals.
Hopefully you make that ~$100 loss back on this video.
+Nicolavs Iohannis Eīganvs oh yes he will he have 230k subs man ;d
He probably won't considering he voted for Bernie Sanders.
Dude what u do is really awesome keep doing it.
Thanks Cody for doing these experiments. :)
Hey Cody, you inspired me to make also videos, but Im not that good withs chemicals like you, but I started building swords, weapons ans machines - keep your work up you are inspiring alot of people out there :)
+maexit nice tomahawk :D
bernie 2016!
I'm glad I'm taking chemistry so i can get even more information on your awesome videos
Cody, I know very little about anything you post in your videos. But you always make it seem fun and easy to do everything. 😀 great work 😀got yourself a sub 👌
I wonder if Cody is ever going to be arrested on suspicion of a meth lab, after which they find out that Cody is just recovering precious metals :)
+ImJustACowLol
> just recovering precious metals
u may not be shure if is't legal these days
+ImJustACowLol CHEMISTRY = METH CONFIRMED
Oh my god I just realized... You're human Minecraft.... You have two mines and a furnace that refines metal.
Thank you for the amazing video!
you are the man cody
you have been my inspiration to study chemistry
Agree. He’s taught me how to love chemistry without having the funds to buy nice glassware etc. Cody is the king of chemistry with soda bottles and aquarium tubing!
It's getting to be that my favourite parts of these videos are when Cody comes to terms with how much money he lost in making the pure metals at the end :)
Also, I loved the Bernie flash. Atta boy!
Really cool videos and thanks for posting them. Hopefully they are making up for your losses when they generate ad revenue on youtube :) I hope my "like" and "subscribe" helps the cause!
Who'd you vote for? I'm very curious.
+MegaDoubleStack He voted for Bernie Sanders (it used to say so in the video but people was rude about it so he removed it)
+Republiken :( :( :( :(((((((
+Republiken that made me upset.
Thanks for taking one for the team!
You're one of the few channels I don't use adblock on genuine good content not just money grabbing
Hey Cody !
Can you please make a video on Graphene .
Resources could be found on Red Rake's Channel
Anyone else notice a long black screen at 7:10 ?
It desynchronized the video
You are pretty smart Cody. You are probably my favorite youtuber
cool time lapse at the end. nice touch.

I love those lil quick funny notes like "Bernie 2016" and "I saw it" it gives me a lil giggle xD
Just re-watching this series and I've got to say, Awesome videos you put together dude! If I could meet any youtuber it would definitely be you! keep up the great work man!
