Hypomanganate can only be made by reduction of permanganate in a strongly alkaline environment at temperatures around 0 degrees celsius, not at room temperature. The blue color visible here results from an optical overlay effect caused by the transition from permanganate (violet) to manganate (green). This can be verified by a simple test: place two test tubes one after the other. Fill the fist with a very dilute permanganate solution and the second with a very dilute manganate soltion. If you now look through both glasses towards a light source, the resulting color impression is: blue! 😎
huh well that definitely explains the confusion I was talking about near the end lol. I got a copyright check for one of the tracks I used here so I might just reupload this video with that correction and a new song (because that is a pretty important correction)
I love the consistent uploads keep it up youll be the next nilered one day i am certain, and as a former synthetic chemist I love the variety of organic and inorganic chemistry, I have always been fasciated by color chemistry ever since I was a kid which is why I got my degree in inorganic chemistry but now I just do analytical because its easy hehe
Ha thank you so so much 😁 I do worry sometimes that jumping between organic and inorganic so often will be jarring to viewers so I'm glad to hear you appreciate the variety! Honestly first and foremost I just kinda do whatever I feel like doing that day and hope people like it bc I know if I started doing this with the intent of blowing up it would feel fake and I'd probably lose interest 😅 regardless tysm!
Pure iron nails, to make an earth battery or sea water (salt water) battery. I know they're useless, but once the electrodes are made it's safe enough to show my kids cool stuff. Like playing old school doom on a literal potato.
Do you think you could do the metal hydrazine complexing? It seems nickel is always used but one could use manganese and if I had a lab I would do ALL the hydrazines because all the pyros wanna see ìt blow up. The thing is I want to see the complexing, given copper is so indigo in complex form but apparently magnesium, Mn, Fe, Co, and even Zc can do it! Puhlease?? Thank you!!
Pretty cool! Can you make a video explaining why the colour of the manganese ion changes for different oxidation states? Maybe for transition metals in general!
I mean, it’s “just” that the energy spectrum changes when you change the electron number. But it happens in a pretty unpredictable way that’s quite advanced to explain. So without all that you can only really understand why at the level I just gave
very cool thank you for the time.

Thanks a lot for this video, this helped me a lot
Keep the good work!
congrats on one year!!!! I remember finding your vids when you posted a link on Reddit . Glad i came across it!!!
Thanks man! I'm very happy to hear it 😁
beautiful

Question, is a CuNO3 and MnNO3 mix safe to use as an electroplating solution?
Yeah totally! What would you be plating though? I believe this would make a copper plating solution
