  • How does platinum react to a magnet? Time for part 5 of my series on how elements react to a magnet. This time the whole platinum group is thoroughly tested with some improved methods. Do I manage to confirm the official values for magnetic susceptibility? Hope you enjoy the video - as always a lot of work was put into it.

    You guys wanna know how dedicated this guy is? I just looked up where he gets his samples from, and a 1 gram pellet of Rhenium is $40! The amount of money this guy sinks into the material for these videos is definitely worth a like! Major props, Brian

    I love how this video makes a clear documentation of the scientific method and the mathematical analysis of the results. More science on youtube needs to have this kind of rigor. I loved the video, good job!

      Yep. This guy is good. I was aware of the magnetism of cobalt, iron nickel and gadolinium, as a result of experimentation with my element samples. But this floating test was a great idea that illustrated magnetic properties of many other elements that, I think most of us were probably unaware of. None of this was taught in my school. I graduated high school thinking that only iron would attract magnets! Lol

    Ruthenium is a fun element. When I was in school, we used some with an organic ligand to make a photoluminescent compound which would be quenched by diatomic oxygen. We embedded some in clear silicone rubber and could measure dissolved oxygen content in water by reading the intensity in response to excitation by a blue LED. It was my second favorite project in that series of labs since it brought together so much chemistry and physics.

    • @brainiac75
      @brainiac75  7 років тому +2

      Nice experiment indeed. But I've got to ask: What was your favorite then?

    • @ExaltedDuck
      @ExaltedDuck 7 років тому +1

      Brainiac75 Synthesis of CdSe nano crystals (quantum dots) via Ostwald ripening. The big interest at the time was attaching them to proteins and tumors to assist in kinetics study and improve medical imaging techniques. I had the idea of gluing a medley of various sizes to a then-new blue LED as a mean to produce a then-yet-uninvented white LED but my professor didn't think it would work. I found a few months later that another group in another university received a patent for basically the same idea (given the timeframe, they had prior art to the idea. c'est la vie. :))

    • @brainiac75
      @brainiac75  7 років тому

      ExaltedDuck Oh yes, I did come across CdSe when researching for the fluorescence video. Including the use in LEDs - bummer for you :(
      I may need to make a video about CdSe in the future. But I guess its toxicity limits its availability.

    • @ExaltedDuck
      @ExaltedDuck 7 років тому +1

      Our synthesis involved benzenethiol to make the precursors. I would recommend against using that outside of a well equipped laboratory. Even just a little bit gone astray lingers for days, and its odor has a slightly smoky and pungently fecal quality. =D

    • @takingthescenicroute1610
      @takingthescenicroute1610 7 років тому

      @ExaltedDuck Definitely a fume hood project then.
      @Brainiac75 You might try asking NurdRage if he knows of a way to synthesize it from chemicals that are available. Cd is available from poisoned (dead) NiCd rechargeable batteries and Se from the toner drums of used laser printers and photocopiers, and many dandruff shampoos.

  • @WobblycogsUk
    @WobblycogsUk 7 років тому +6

    Many years ago when I was a chemist I set up a method to measure diamagnetism using a four figure scale. We had a U shaped piece of plastic machined up and at the top of the U we placed two powerful magnets that were attracting each other. This set up was then put on the scale and the scale zeroed. The sample was put in an NMR tube and slowly lowered down in between the magnets. The maximum reading on the scale was proportional to the diamagnetism of the sample. I recall it being surprisingly accurate I'm guessing because the magnetic flux between the two magnets was very high. I can try to draw the apparatus if you need.

    • @brainiac75
      @brainiac75  7 років тому +1

      So the scale is holding the weight of the magnets too? I guess two smaller magnets with opposing poles would make a powerful magnet field for small samples inbetween. Thanks for the suggestion :)

    • @WobblycogsUk
      @WobblycogsUk 7 років тому +1

      Yes, the magnets and the frame holding them apart are all on the scale. I was using a 4-figure balance which has a maximum tare weight of 500g (IIRC). That's easily enough for two decent sized magnets. I seem to recall the magnets were about 30mm diameter by 10mm thick. This was years and years ago though so we were probably limited in what we could get hold of. I would imagine the parallel field lines in this set up help with measuring diamagnetism as the generated force would be entirely perpendicular to the sample. An NMR tube is perfect for the sample too as it's very thin glass and you can buy holders for them. I was measuring powders of metal containing complexes, solid metals might be better just stuck to the end of a stick :-)

    • @brainiac75
      @brainiac75  7 років тому +2

      OK - my scale only holds 20 g in all, so it limits the size of the two magnet too much. But I may try to lower the two magnets with opposing poles and having the sample steady on the scale - should give the same result.

    • @WobblycogsUk
      @WobblycogsUk 7 років тому +1

      That's some good lateral thinking. Perhaps you could crowd fund a set of accurate scales. Looks like you can get a 0.1mg accurate scales fro
