As long as you know what contaminants you have there are a lot of solutes which are more or at least not much less compatible with each other in solid form (especially with organic chemistry) It is one or the reasons it is a good idea to do your kinetics etc well when designing a reaction sequence for production. Even when you don’t immediately get a set of ions dropping out like Codie showed. And why you get some really different rocks forming under different pressure and temperature regimes.
Only at a huge loss of yield, you're better off using different solvents and ionizing your side reactants with acids if your product doesn't have a protonation site and extracting with water. Much less loss than crystals in ionic solution (but yes, makes it quite pure after the 2nd re-crystallization).
fun fact: when you dissolve a salt in water, the volume of the solution rarely adds up to the volume of salt+ water due to the salt pulling the water closer together than it would be otherwise, some salts like sodium hydroxide (at concentrations less than about 1M/liter ) attract the water strongly enough to completely negate their own volume and cause the solution to have a volume less than the original water even.(difference is fairly small, of the order 1/1000 decrease in volume) thus you can technically create a solution of salt and water that has more than 100% water by volume :D
This implies that solubility should vary under pressure, similarly to the way it varies under temperature. It's probably a very tiny effect though due the the extremely low compressability of liquids.
19:20 this is hilarious, doing all of the mixing of chemicals, including hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide, with your bare hands, but putting on gloves to do the dirty work. Absolutely genious.
Indeed, the trick to understanding this is to realize that salts in solution are no longer salts, but separate ions. If you dissolve more than one salt, you’ll have a mixture of different ions. Depending on the amount of dissolved ions and how strongly they interact (as you explained, it’s a question of equilibrium), some of them might precipitate out, forming whichever salt is the result of the combination.

Wow, I've wondered about if a saturated solution could hold more of a solute of a different kind. I just assumed the answer was no. That first experiment is pretty mind blowing. Did you think of taking advantage of this back when you were making super heavy liquids? Maybe you did and I've forgotten
I tried hard to figure this out (Google, no connections to chemists or daring to try to contact them, past that now) some 15 years ago. Now I know. This is awesome.
You have no idea how much I love this video. As a kid I asked my chemistry teacher if you could dissolve other things, like sugar, in water that was already saturated with salt. He just looked at me and said: "Why don't you try it yourself?" ...I did, and I could dissolve sugar even if the water was "full" of salt. Never got an answer to why and I've been wondering about it ever since. That was over 30 years ago and now I finally know why. :) Thank you.
It is mindblowing to see but makes perfect sense after having heard you explain what's going on; I feel like it should have been more obvious to me from the start, but I'm going to chalk that up to you being a great teacher.
Hey there! Can you please help me with this one. I understand that the square guys cannot pull the circular guys themselves. Which makes Cody say that those squares could be ignored when considering the dissolution of circular guys. Heres my doubt: Even if those squares arent affecting the circular ones, arent they still requiring the same amount of water molecules around them to stay dissolved themselves? Meaning they cannot be just ignored like that, and that they do have an effect. What am I missing here? Thanks already!😄
I struggled with this a while ago when I was growing salt crystals, I prepared a saturated solution of table salt, and for the seed crystal I decided to use a crystal from a run I did about a year prior, however even thouhg the solution was saturated, and I checked multiple times, the seed crystal kept dissolving. Then I remembered that back in the previous run, the salt I used had yieded some unusual looking crystals, which rather than the usual cube shape, were elongated prisms. At the time I thought thi could bave been result of contamination of the solution by leaving it outside my window but now I am pretty sure that was not normal salt.
I think I saw a preview version of this on Twitter, and now it blew my mind again. This really is an intuitive explanation for something that is not really intuitive of itself. Great video Cody!
I've been watching NileRed so much that I was thinking "not settled out, crystallized" and "oh, don't put the wire in there! Pull a vacuum on it through some celite to purify the solute!"
This is one of the best explanations I came across concerning this topic. Now I understand Multi-Solute Solutions and if cleared my concept of percipitating stuff out of solutíon. Thank you so much.

Best chemistry class I've ever had. Question: How practical, if at all possible, would be a chemical method (based on the principles shown here) to desalinate seawater?
If you inject chlorine gas at high pressure into the salt water it should nock out some of the salt. Then by lowing he pressure you can remove the chlorine. I think it could be more efficient but the issue with dealing with chlorine gas would probably erase any Benifit.

@@theCodyReeder finally the thing that really worried me appeared in the comments! It's great to know you are fine, man! And the video was great, of course, thanks for your lessons!
Nice demonstration and explanation, Cody. Thanks. So long as the salts do not react with one-another, it's analogous to partial pressures of mixed gases. You can also start with a given volume of water and add a lot of NaCl to it, but the volume of the salt solution does not increase as much as you think it might, because of the same mechanism. Too many decades ago, when I was a teenager, I saw a demonstration where a beaker almost full of warm Sodium Chloride had most of another beaker of hot water added to it, whilst stirring and warming to dissolve the salt, before it overflowed. That fired up my continued interest in Chemistry.
So if I can ignore 1 dissolved substance when calculating how much of another substance can be dissolved.. Does that continue regardless of how many different dissolved substances there are? Like, if I took 1000 different chemicals and dissolved them into water, would that water still be able to dissolve as much NaCl as de-ionized distilled water? I just feel like there would be a limit to how much 'stuff' can be dissolved based on the surface area of a water molecule, surely there comes a point where every water molecule is stuck to something and has no more room?
this is known as an "ideal law" (a law which states an ideal scenario), just like the ideal gas law: the ideal gas law states that the pressure of a given gas is equal to the literal sum of the pressures contributed by each molecule in it (as if they totally ignore one another). this breaks down at higher pressures and with more gasses- but the specific way it is wrong is well known and can be accounted for. The same is true with the salts, assuming you can find that many unique mutually nonreactive salts.
13:20 Thanks Cody! TFW I finally understand re-crystallization as a purification process that Nile does pretty often on his channel :-) - it's great to see you teach us some chemistry, AIUI you have plenty to say on the subject! EDIT: Oh wow and that last bit with the alcohol explains how "crashing" something out of solution works, and also why it's a "lossy" process (you're still managing an equilibrium, just balancing it on the side you want)! Excellent!
I really liked the explanation and the final demo of altering the solvent mix. I had wondered why adding ice water to a solution in hot alcohol caused it to precipitate so quickly. I had both lowered the solubility by lowering the temperature and spread out the solvent. Now I begin to understand.
So could you theoretically dissolve an infinite amount of different kind of salts in a liter of water or is there a limit? I assume at some point things will start to react and fall out of solution. But if you somehow managed to get an infinite amount of unreactive salts, would they all dissolve in just a liter of water?
Well I love how you simplify a lot of this. Would make a great teacher. But heck you already are a teacher. Just on youtube. Thank you cody for all you do!
Hey Cody, what is the worst accident you have ever had while conducting an experiment? If there are alot of them could you possibly make a video on it?
I think he said it in an old video. He had a tank of chlorine indoors. He tryed filling up a ballon and it all leaked out. He was close to a door but someone locked it without him knowing. So he had to go through the shed (and through the chlorine) to get out. He was super sick afterwards as far as i know
Not sure if the video is still up, but there was one with him messing around with a steak knife and nitroglycerin.... he ended up with pretty nasty gash in his finger from the tip of the knife flying off from the explosion. That's the worst I remember on video.
I love how you break down the science in a way that even my brain can understand, I wish I had you as a teacher back in the day, then I would have understood how fun it actually is! I would have been a geek for sure! I almost failed chemistry and physics due to teachers that couldn´t explain anything in a way that my Autistic brain could understand, but you, I´m just sitting here, nodding, everything makes sense :) you make things so clear :D 💜 Not that I have any need for this type of knowledge, but I love to learn how things works and why, geek at heart I guess lol So thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and explaining it in a foolproof way :D
You are basically explaining chemical equilibrium in the last part and in the first part about the partition law of solvent extraction and its very intuitively done !!
even tho i'd been watching a ton of your's and nilered's videos over the last half year or so, and i understood the basics (IE you do this and this happens), this really clarified what was actually going on. Thank you for this video, and all the work you do.

it also depends how the dissolved solids interact with each other

Hey Cody, what is the worst accident you have ever had while conducting an experiment? If there are alot of them could you possibly make a video on it?
It will be a compilation of butter accidents.
I think he said it in an old video. He had a tank of chlorine indoors. He tryed filling up a ballon and it all leaked out. He was close to a door but someone locked it without him knowing. So he had to go through the shed (and through the chlorine) to get out. He was super sick afterwards as far as i know
@@tiborkovacs5506 wow I didn't know that, that's crazy. Glad he is okay
@@MrAlex173 yaa he slipped his ass of and his arm was so red
Not sure if the video is still up, but there was one with him messing around with a steak knife and nitroglycerin.... he ended up with pretty nasty gash in his finger from the tip of the knife flying off from the explosion. That's the worst I remember on video.
Glad to see another Cody's lab video! It's been a while and I was getting worried.
I see cody I click
Glad to see you upload! Long time fan/sub self isolating in Halifax! Needed this !
I love how you break down the science in a way that even my brain can understand, I wish I had you as a teacher back in the day, then I would have understood how fun it actually is! I would have been a geek for sure!
I almost failed chemistry and physics due to teachers that couldn´t explain anything in a way that my Autistic brain could understand, but you, I´m just sitting here, nodding, everything makes sense :) you make things so clear :D 💜
Not that I have any need for this type of knowledge, but I love to learn how things works and why, geek at heart I guess lol
So thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and explaining it in a foolproof way :D
Welcome back, you have been sorely missed, Sir.
could you make a video teaching us how to turn cats into scarfs?
You might want to clarify that the cats must not be harmed during the process! 😼😺
You are basically explaining chemical equilibrium in the last part and in the first part about the partition law of solvent extraction and its very intuitively done !!
Yall remember when cody str8 up showed us how to make nitroglycerin?
Heck with that, were you lucky enough to catch the Uranium Purification before it got pulled?
Amazing, i think we need a whole chemistry series starting from basic!

I see a glitched thumbnail.
Lucas 'Ktulu789' me too
@@Ktulu789 same
I dislike comments that change so bad (OP)
All glory is to God almighty! Repent to Jesus Christ!
even tho i'd been watching a ton of your's and nilered's videos over the last half year or so, and i understood the basics (IE you do this and this happens), this really clarified what was actually going on. Thank you for this video, and all the work you do.
Hah, i saw Cody’s really shaky handwriting and became concerned. Wait, have i ever noticed Cody being left handed? Nope. Got me :).
he’s ambidextrous
You took me back to college chemistry class. Thank you great video enjoyed it very much!
19:30 So how much coffee did you drink today?
This is an amazing explanation and demonstration. Cleared up something I had a lot of trouble understanding.,
Last time I was this early Cody was still mining.
Love to see you understand the need for mathematical PPE. Its to often overlooked on UA-cam.
29°C is room temperature?
Where is this room located? Hell?
Utah
That's only 84°F. That's not that hot. It's only about 6°F off of what people usually cool their homes to.
Florida when the AC breaks in summer
I've missed these demonstration type videos -- thanks for this explanation!
is it me or his hands are kinda shaky?
I thought the same
hes not left handed
@@matthewchastain136 Both his hands are shaky, the right a bit less but still shaky.
This video is very helpful to visualise and explain the similarities and differences between melting and dissolving. Thanks !
What is up with that thumbnail though
It’s the one UA-cam automatically chose, I haven’t bothered uploading a better one yet.
@@theCodyReeder Guess UA-cam wanted to be funny and dissolved the magnets representing different salts. Great video man, enjoyed every minute of it!
@@theCodyReeder I like the thumbnail! It's InTeReStInG! xD
Very good video! It answers questions I wondered about for a long time but I never looked up the answers. Thanks a lot!
I like your test tube stand and your maths protection. I am a big fan ;)
Greetings from Germany.
26 years ago i wondered about this and asked my Chemistry teacher. I got no answer.
With all due respect, I very highly doubt it. It's junior high school chemistry.
You're a damn good educator, my friend. My density is only equaled by neutron stars, and i get it now. 5 star rating for me.
I muted the video twice thinking I forgot the water tap open :)
A new codyslab video. My week is made!
19:25 [Left hand] 21:20 [Right hand] Cody handwriting looks like someone who has Parkinson (I'm worried for his health) He is shaking quite often
he did blow his mind..
He's right handed (shown in Moon Shine vs Moon Block?) but he's writing with his left hand in this video. So it's not parkinsons, maybe he's doing an experiment
To be frank, he is writing with his left hand. Not sure if he is left or right handed though.
@@mikeyd007 an experiment with 3fpm XD
I was about to argue that it looks pretty much the same when i myself try to write with my non dominate hand... until i saw that he switches to his other hand and again it looks nearly as bad as before. So you actually might be on to something...
Great chemistry video Cody! I'll have to refer some of my gen chem students to this when they are struggling to understand solubility and equilibria.
