Turning Table Salt into Acid (All About Acids)
Вставка

- 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.

Hi Guys! I know that its been a while but from now on videos should come out more frequently, I am now using entirely different software and recording equipment than before resulting in having more control over my edits as well as 4k resolution, but I have to learn how everything works which takes tons of time. Anyway, have a great day :)
Well, sodium bisulfate is more commonly found as a pH lowering chemical for swimming pools. I have never seen potassium bisulfate anywhere. I also think it is better to redistill the impure hydrochloric acid to purify it until you have a clean sample of azeotropic 20% HCl.
@@chemicalmaster3267 I think I saw it somewhere, however it is definitely much less popular
@@Amateur.Chemistry Suddenly, I got 2 ideas for some videos that you could do. Almost no one has done these projects before:
- making a reagent (sodium bitartrate a.k.a. sodium hydrogen tartrate) to separate and isolate potassium from sodium;
- isolate lanthanides from ferrocerium (which can be obtained from lighter flints or as a rod for making fire, especially for survival situations) and/or neodymium magnets.
Good to have see you back, take your time and go as far as is healthy for you
@@chemicalmaster3267 The second one seems really cool, I might give it a try someday :)
All chemistry OGs already knew which acid you'd make with salt.
You mention it in the video, but didn't stress it's importance enough imho.
The stove HAS to be a rusty one for this procedure to work correctly! xD
I measured the alkaline water someone brought to my house a few months ago. Guess the pH?
..
7
lol
If you need to do things right, you have to do them yourself!
[proceeds to make a saturated NaOH solution]
Yeah because actual water solutions with a pH of 9 or 9.5 would be quite brackish and unpleasant. Think potassium or sodium bicarbonates
Good to have you back
I used the table salt to make an acid and then used the acid to make table salt
The circle of life
@@Amateur.Chemistry Or a loop of infinite madness! 😁
Genius beyond comprehension
Don't laught too much because that can be called a purification lol
Gotta watch out for the Phallic Acid. It will make a big mess if missused.
We making it out the seasoning aisle with this one
Did You used iodised salt? Because in acidic media the iodide ion oxidizes to iodine with oxygen and at high temperatures the sulphate ion can oxidize it. Maybe you have I3- ions in the solution giving the dark color.
When i did this 2 years ago the same happened to me, i used iodised salt but the I2 didn't distilled
I used some random salt that definitely had iodine in it, that might be a very good explanation :)
ayo the production quality is getting better?
Love your humor. And I'm really learning a lot of chemistry. I hope you're being able to do your day job and keep making these videos.
bro how am i supposed to get sulphuric acid wtf is this video
Check out various drain cleaner solutions
You can use a number of acids. Sodium bisulfate is readily available. There is also phosphoric acid which doesn't get enough love.
oddly nice that there are many people to help you out there- lol
@@lrmackmcbride7498As a warning concentrated phosphoric acid gets drastically more corrosive with heat. I’ve permanently etched glass with 85% phosphoric acid! When heated further, the acid attacks almost any metal except platinum and tantalum! It is weak acid that becomes acidzilla when heated!
You could make it from pure sulphur easily
Merci pour cette bonne vidéo !
It s great you are back! How have the holidays been?
My holidays were really nice, I built a whole new lab and I am now ready for more interesting projects :)
Very nice video. You can explain the chemistry very well. I love your intro music!
I used electrolysis to make hydrochloric acid.
I love chemistry, you can make everything from nearly everything over other ways.
love your channel and videos
currently doing my bachelors thesis in chemistry :)
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.
Your presentation, delightful voice, and professionalism allow you to get a lot of views for the exact same chemistry I've seen elsewhere. Having said that, thank you for YOUR version, as I learn new things nearly every time. Here's a project that SHOULD get you views: teach the pKa system, and please❤❤
10:06 I really love the diffraction of that ring light through those many droplets on the glass. It was a very nice touch.
Diffraction?
@@legoworks-cg5hk Droplets?
My new favorite ASMR listening to chem synth in English via a cool a$$ dude wth a Polish accent. 👌🏻 10/10
Some acids even allow people to live healthily, such as Ascorbic acid, or VITAMIN C. Yes, there's an acid that's also a vitamin.
B5 and B9 are too.
Is fun because many vitamines
aren't actually amines
Ah, the good old protonated water.
H3O?
@@thewhitefalcon8539 The idea of hydronium ion actually fell out of favor in recent years, since it was found to not accurately represent what the protons are actually doing in water. They tend to form clusters with more than one water molecule.
Great Video,
What about the New Lab tour?
Acetone with green colouring or similar solvent dissolving that foam, great to illustrate but even powerful acid doesn’t work that quickly
I think that was his point
10:23 yo, your gas trap is backwards. water that's sucked back would land at the bottom, where it quickly comes into contact with the opening to the gas generator.
Not a big problem, but still
It will become a big problem as soon as the trap tries to do what it's there to do: prevent the liquid from going back into the hot flask and causing it to shatter. As soon as the temperature of the flask drops, the decreasing pressure will cause the liquid to be drawn into the trap, then into the flask, instead of just filling the trap, giving you time to pull out the hose from the receiving beaker.
Read Stefan Sękowski's "Moje Laboratorium" to find out such basics.
@@Matthew.Morycinski yea, but if it's dismanteled while the gas generating flask is still hot and liquid is only just starting to be sucked back it should be fine, a catastrophy would still be relatively preventable xd
But yea, not the safest way it could be set up
@@BioTechproject27 It's just the wrong way. You turn your back and the thing breaks.
@@Matthew.Morycinski true
Thanks for being !!!
As someone who cannot get their hands on almost literally any chemical and an amateur, I usually make hydrochloride acid through a simple electrolysis reaction.
2 bottles, a paper wipe, carbon electrode and a plastic filter with some carbon in it.
Usually got to a concentration of about 0.0079M after filtering. Not super strong and quite crude but it’s good enough for my application.
Btw, I concentrate them further by using a beaker on top of a frying pan.
Edit: Although I can only get a ph of 1.4 which is about 0.039M.
Can’t really get to a 1M solution, which is sad
Your point of people assuming alkaline water is great for them is on point. Recently had a coworker going on and on about how alkaline water will cure near any ailment. After asking if he had any other heath tips he mentions he's also been using apple cider vinegar daily for its health benefits. Turns our he was taking a shot of vinegar right before downing a bottle of alkaline water😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm sure that combo has him bubbling with energy, and other gasses...
This video got me thinking... "Can you extract hydrochloric acid from vomit?"
You should be able to, however, i think there might be some contamination from all the organic stuff in the stomach.
Although hydrochloric acid is present in the stomach, when you vomit this will become diluted as it passes through the oesophagus, which is lined with mucus. I have never measured the pH of vomit, but wouldn’t it start to react with tooth enamel?
Welcome on board 😋😋😋
The past few videos have been pretty crisp, nice audio.
11:38 is it some trace amount of elemental chlorine Cl2 is formed during the reacton and dissolved in dilute acid solution?
Before you click off, ive got special news: quick play the ad! Lmao made me chuckle
Could you make a video about carbon disulfide? (Synthesis and a couple experiments)
Yes, I have it in my to-do list :)
CS2 is crap. I've been working with an analyst who had remarkable short-term memory losses due to the exposure to CS2.
Perfect
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!!!
What kind of program do you use to draw the structure formulas?
Nice video
Please can you find a way to extract sulphur from organic material
Yes please
Organic material really doesnt have all that much sulfur in it. Mostly just cellulose and stuff like that.
But for alot of otc chemicals check out the canadian chemist👍
pyrolyse car tires if you need sulfur. there's not much of it percentage wise, but it is there. you can use copper to capture the resulting hydrogen sulfide as copper sulfide. then you can oxidize it to form copper sulfate, then use electrolysis with carbon/inert electrodes on that to form sulfuric acid. if you're willing to buy chemicals just buy a bag of crystals. sulfur is really cheap, oxidize(burn) the sulfur then bubble the result into water to form sulfuric acid.
I'm assuming you're UK with your spelling of sulphur?
If that's the case, you can get it for about a 5er from most garden centres.
@@EddieTheH yeah, another name for it you could look for is brimstone. usually in the health supplements section for a increased markup compared to the gardening section. on a related note adding sulfur to soil can make onions taste stronger you should try it sometime.
Hello sir, is it possible to dissolve metals naturally without acid ? Like Iron or Copper ? I have very hard time getting any chemicals so I would need very very natural methods. Thanks in advance
what I am wondering is why you did not demonstrate how you can just make a chloro-alki cell and then use electricity from a battery to make both sodium hydroxide, and hydrochloric acid directly from the table salt with out having to find all the other various chemicals, I believe the only chemical besides water, that would help facilitate the reaction to make hydrogen chloride from the raw chlorine gas that forms on one side, is hydrogen peroxide, which you should do a video on how to make that. :)
"Now lets compare this acid with the Sennhsier DH600'
Smasnug
Yaay
Can you do this with chlorine gas from electrolysis of salt water. Of memory serves correctly chlorine gas produced hcl when it comes in contact with water
>let's make an acid with common household items you can easily find
>first, you'll need nitric acid and-
yep... this will never be something I would do at home
Have you watched the video? You don’t need nitric acid or any other acid, just some pool chemicals
If pH is potentiation of hydrogen, are there other p metrics? Like potential of potassium etc?
Doo da da doo do doo dada dooo.
Ba dom dom dom da dom dom dom da dom.
Pepsinogen which is the inactive form of Pepsin is used by the body to digest complex proteins. It is a trypsin enzyme biochemical molecule which needs HCl (an acid) for an optimum pH so that it can activate and turn into regular Pepsin in order to digest the complex protein into simpler sugars and simple amino acid molecules. Without the HCl the Pepsin will remain as Pepsinogen and as a result cannot digest protein easily.
When live give you lemonade turn some salt into acid
Is table salt pure sodium chloride or are there other ingredients added?
A neutralizatin reaction is one where a base reacts with an acid to make a salt and water
I love how chemist channels slowly become indistinguishable from Nile Red lol cool vid tho
Be proud of curie! Polish boy
Can you isolate radium
I also have the problem with my hydrochloric acid turnig yellow, i think it is caused by the decomposition of hcl in h2 and cl2 the cl2 then dissolves and colors the solution yellow
HCl doesn't decompose to hydrogen and chlorine
Technical grade hydrochloric acid is yellow from impurities of Fe3+.
@@hantrio4327 it was just a theory do you know the real awnser?
what about electrolysis if one doesnt have ANY sulfite/sulfate compounds
if we got sodium bisulfate we might as well dissolve copper in it to make copper sulfate and electrolyse the copper sulfate to get sulfuric acid
How would you dissolve copper in NaHSO4?
@@hantrio4327add 3% hydrogen peroxide then recrystalize the two salts formed.
This wouldn't work because a double salt will form instead.
From electrolysis of its solution you will only get Cu and NaHSO4 again...
whenever I hear acid I picture hydrogen
It’s sad how popular culture demonizes acid. One of the most useful acids readily available is citric acid. If you have food grade citric acid, you can use it in many beverages and candies. Industrial or technical grade citric acid is excellent for cleaning bathrooms and general descaling work. It’s also beneficial for passivating stainless steel by removing traces of iron contamination from the surface. If you have rust stains on clothing, apply citric acid to rust stain an expose to direct sunlight. The sun will “bleach” the stain to almost colorless ferrous citrate which can be laundered out. The fact citric acid is a weak acid actually makes it more useful in that it lends well to making delicate pH adjustments due to buffering action. Make trisodium citrate and you have an excellent alkaline chelation cleanser which works best at a pH over 10.
As a certain someone said, yellow is the devil's color.
Can you make HNO3 from the Nitrogen and Oxygen available in the air??
technically possible, however it's thermodynamically unfavorable and thus super inefficient. You can create arcs, which creates nitrogen monoxide and dioxide, and push that mixture through some water to get nitric and nitrous acid.
1:18 Cisowianka 😮
I'm not really afraid of acids, only the sulfuric variety, however, a lot of bases scare me.
@amateur chemistry, the pH scale doesnt measure the dtrngth of an acid, the pKa scale does
You can use a weaker acid that is not volatile like oxalic or citric acid by volatilizing the hcl.
Try ammonia to nitric acid reactor
Doesnt table salt have iodine in it, which would explain the yellow color?
I think of a different thing when I heard the word acid
the teleporter to 7th dimension?
hey bro, are you polish by any chance, you have polish accent in your english lol
Czyli jak grochówka reaguje z kwasem żołądkowym i produkowane jest dużo gazów, to znaczy, że grochówka jest bazą.
The solution was yellow because of chlorine gas (Cl2 not HCl) dissolved in water
I love your accent
You are one of the very few :)
i need acid to make acid 😑
😂
I think most confuse “acid” with “corrosive”.
Cl gas is da best. I have to sniff on it every 2 or 3 minutes. It makes you feel alive
Do this 6Na2CO3 + 2CaCO3 + 6Al2O3 + 12SiO2 + Na2S + Na2SO4→Na6Ca2(AlSiO4)6(SO4,S,CO3)2 + CO2 and make a video. Need to make this work asap.
Find how to cook it.
WHAT happens when you eat baking soda and drink vinegar?
You will puke foam.
HBr, pH -9?! 🤣
The claim is so absurd I was shocked lol like man how many moles per liter are you telling me that there are here? Like 720 grams of hbr per liter
That yellow color has to be from nitrosyl chloride.
NOCl reacts with water
Mix SiO2 + distilled water and do soneexperiments to make rocks.
isnt the yellow sodium hypochlorite ?
sodium hypochlorite is colorless. Likely some trace amounts of triiodide ions
Cool vid but the voice volume was a bit low.
I will fix that in the next one :)
That's not that acid i expected...
How could you distill 36% H? CL when the Azeotrope is 20% at normal atmospheric pressure.
I think that when it was condensing it absorbed more HCl gas which was present in the apparatus
Oh okay. And probably whatever made the colored impurities added to the density also.
Can't you just buy the battery acid in a bottle at a parts store?
electrochem is way more beginner friendly. its how i make all my hcl, just bubble the resulting oxygen and chlorine mixture through a heated water reservoir. if you're willing to have it go way slower you can turn down the voltage and produce higher purity chlorine, albeit still very wet. i find while things like aquarium stones do work well, its far better to just make a manifold out of hdpe with a very tiny drill bit. aquarium stones tend to degrade with the chlorine really quick, i'm pretty sure hdpe does degrade but its much less noticeable.
But that just gives you chlorine dissolved (mostly physically) in water. It is still acidic but its not the same as hydrochloric acid
@@twistedtransitor4639 you have to heat it up to near boiling, and if you're feeling adventurous and don't mind the explosive risk you could also allow the hydrogen to enter the same chamber for increased efficiency and throughput. the only real problem is that, due to the increased temperature, the hcl will not stay dissolved in that water chamber and as such you will need one or more additional reservoirs at lower temp and bubblers. if you lower the voltage enough to not undergo electrolysis (of water) you could reasonably purify chlorine and hydrogen then react then together to form anhydrous hcl. thats a bit sketch and the highest concentration i ever need is around 5-10% though so i don't do it.
@@twistedtransitor4639 to add further clarification, the reason it works is due to chlorine being more reactive than oxygen. its not that much more reactive though so you'll need to give it a fair bit of activation energy to rip apart the bonds of oxygen from hydrogen in the form of heat. i'm sure there may be more efficient ways of giving that energy, but i find this to be the simplest.
@@2kadrenojunkiegaming655 i think you are confusing a few things here. Electrolysis of nacl yields Hydrogen and chlorine gas. Not oxygen (though i guess some may be formed when you apply higher voltage than needed but not in significant amounts). Chlorine and hydrogen dont react to form HCl unless ignited. Though know that I'm thinking about it, maybe 100 °C might be enough activation energy, but it would probably be really ineffective. Have you done tests to confirm it's HCl and not just chlorine water?
@@2kadrenojunkiegaming655 P.S. what do you mean when you say rip oxygen and hydrogen apart? Electrochemically that doesn't happen with a NaCl solution, because of the respective standard potentials
how to make acid from acid😂
Iodine from table salt
0:45 oh god for a second I thought we were going nile green here
Using an acid to make acid… the clickbait is insane
Alkaline water tastes better.
Bro you did too much work and mess just add sulfuric acid to the NaCl dropwise and get the pure gas and dissolve it to water so it won't get orange
