  • Basically what Dr. Ted explained was that he created a super saturated solution by boiling water with more salt than the water can actually dissolve while the water is at room temperature. He drops a single salt crystal and that is what triggers the reaction. It's purdy cool eh!?
    But everyone needs to shut up about how annoying everyone in the video is, that's not the point you fools.
    OH. More specifically this is a super saturated solution thing where there is too much sodium acetate in the solution so when just one salt crystal was added the whole thing crystallized and released heat.. Yep, chemistry lesson in AP Bio.
    Uh, well all the AP Bio kids were gone because most of them were seniors, leaving the juniors who were left in the class to be doing whatever, but then one of us went to his home country leaving 6 of us, plus one "honorary APBio student" :P
    So pretty much this is what happens when there are 7 juniors + Dr. Ted in class near the end of the year when no one is there really.. :D:D

      @lesgoddam1949 8 лет назад +6

      It's actually pretty easy to do this. The reason why the nucleation doesn't occur on imperfections in the glassware is just to do with the activation barrier of crystallisation. Even though it's a tiny barrier, you need something to provide that energy, or a lower pathway. Adding the crystal tips it over the edge.

    • @beb1684
      @beb1684 5 лет назад +6

      What I know is that boiling a solution allows it to hold more solute, so you boil it and put more solute in it and then cool it down and keep it so the solution is only kept in a smooth container so it can’t latch onto anything. That’s why the crystal being dropped in causes the huge crystallization, because the crystals can only form if they have something to start with

    The solution is sodium acetate. You eat this stuff when you munch Salt n' Vinegar chips. To make it, slowly stir baking soda into vinegar in a pan until you can't dissolve any more. Simmer the resulting liquid to concentrate it until you start seeing crystals form on the surface. Pour the solution into another container and fridge it until cold. Take one of the crystals from the pan and drop it into the solution to make it "freeze". Melt over heat to reuse.
    Fun experiment. Safe ingredients.

    Why it releases heat? Is it exothermic? Yes it is...infact if you see it in this way in normal conditions, more solute cannot dissolve in the supersaturated soln. But when we supply heat it absorbs it and dissolves ....thus it is endothermic
    However the soln is very unstable.
    Thus, when we cool it or add a grain of salt it crystallizes and the energy it had absorbed is now released....thus it is exothermic
    This is my interpretation...🙏🙏

    I need help, I am posting on any crystal growing you tube sites I can find. I have successfully grown some large and beautiful Mono Ammonium Phosphate and Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate crystals. I am talking about large multi crystal clusters that are amazing. From one orange tinted fully symmetrical crystal that resembles a flower opening to a big green multi stalagmite specimen that weighs in at two pounds. I started doing this about five months ago and I was receiving help from my central air unknowingly. A burst pipe in the floor slab which also contained the air ducts put a big halt to that. I went and bought a big dehumidifier for my room after the leak was fixed (even though we think there are literally tons of water still draining off) and began again. The problem is dehumidifiers exhaust hot dehumidified air and I didn’t understand how tenuous the relation is between temperature and saturation. I need help finding what is the perfect temperature and relative humidity to continue doing what I have come to love.

      @KonichiWawa 9 лет назад +2

      Rueyful It is now winter and I decided to keep the vent shut in "the" room and run the hell out of the dehumidifier. I had solved my problem earlier by picking up a small window air conditioner and then having the dehumidifier in front. I wanted to try sitting a small rotating fan on top of the dehumidifier and see how that worked when it slipped behind it partially. It actually ended up with the circular fan cage on top of the dehumidifier right in front of the ac and I got a cool very low humidity breeze. This worked all too well and in fact just a bit too much as the parasitic growth became a massive PITA. Crystals pushed to grow too fast become cloudy as well forcing the use of color. The problem so far this winter has been on days where it warms up too much and I let the temps fluctuate too much/too quickly and I was having problems again. I have worked it out and now have some beautiful massive specimens, but still have to be very careful. I wish i had an actual lab to work in. Thanks for the input since not many take the time to try and help.

    If there are any crystals in the solution, it will freeze as it cools. Saturation depends on temperature and to get a flash freeze like this, there must be no nucleation sites in the solution or container.

    • @HaemDream
      @HaemDream 9 лет назад +18

      Josue Emmanuel Firstly, solvents like water have a limit to the amount of solute (like the sodium acetate used in the video) that can dissolve into it. Once this limit is reached the solution is now saturated. Imagine that it runs out of "room" to fit the solute in.
      However this limit depends on the temperature of the solvent. Heat it up and the limit increases i.e. more can be dissolved. As the doctor said in the video, he boiled the water. He then would have dissolved as much solvent as possible in it (i.e. he made a saturated solution) before allowing the solution to cool back to room temperature.
      But ah, now that the solution is at room temperature, it should not be able to contain that much solute - remember that the higher the temperature, the more "room" there is. The solution is now supersatured. It is unstable and wants to release some of the solute as a solid, as it doesn't have enough "room" for it. However it is unable to do this if you simply leave it standing there on the table.
      By dropping in a seed crystal, the doctor has just given that solution the opportunity to release the excess solvent as a solid - thus the solute rapidly leaves the solution and becomes a solid (a crystal).
      Please take this with a pinch of salt, I'm a sixth former doing some background research on the topic, not a professor. I've also simplified some aspects. Correct me if I'm wrong guys.
      Tl;dr - water has too much stuff dissolved in it, by dropping in a small object you allow the water to release all the excess dissolved stuff in the form of a crystal.

      @luckyshots3094 9 лет назад +2

      shaikh zoya Essentially, crystallization helps the solutes dissolved in their to achieve a lower energy state. The crystal seed that is added has to be the same solute dissolved in the solution, and provides a nuclei for the other solutes to crystallize upon. It basically provides the activation energy necessary to start the process of crystallization.

    Above is an excellent example of what is happening to our Earth systems as a direct result of corporate impact pollution. Eventually the system comes to a stop and does not function

      No... eventually the solution becomes supersaturated as apathy shifts to frustration right under the noses of powers that be and the system then bursts into revolution... only to get solved again and the cycle goes on

      "Corporate?" What does that even mean? Why don't you do some thinking of your own, instead of regurgitating what you hear from Left media. And for the record...you posted this comment on some kind of manufactured electronic device...no doubt made by a corporation who uses plastics and metals...which industries cause pollution. Just because you drive a Yaris doesn't mean you're solving anything.

      You can do your own basic home experiment to show to yourself how a system stops working when it reaches saturation point.
      Take a small glass, fill it with water.
      Pour is salt whilst stirring the water.
      Continue to pour in salt and stir the solution. After a period of time you will not be able to stir the solution. This is a saturated solution.

      True, but the earth isn't being super-saturated, and nothing Al Gore says is backed by anything other than speculation, and so in turn, nothing you say is back by anything other than speculation. Bad weather happens in patterns, everywhere, all the time. Polar ice melts, but more of it freezes elsewhere. Its the circle of life, Elton. Say "hi" to your gerbil for me..

      look, i highly doubt that our solar system will stop working. If it does, that will be millions of years from now, so we don't have to worry about it right now. -_-

    Sodium acetate is the solution. He dropped in a crystal of sodium acetate to act as a seed crystal.

      @DragMeh9100 10 лет назад

      Dissolve as much sugar (or salt) as you can in some water.
      Heat the water.
      Add more sugar/salt
      Put the concoction into the freezer.
      And add sugar/salt!

    could you do this with table salt?

    • @davidrussell6762
      @davidrussell6762 9 лет назад

      Daniel Cruz This will not work with table salt because the solubility of sodium chloride does not change with temperature. In order for this process to work, you need a solid that has increased solubility at higher temps. Create a saturated solution at a high temperature, which will contain more dissolved solid than what is permissible at lower temps. Let the solution cool to room temperature and it becomes supersaturated. Adding the "seed" crystal causes all the excess solute to come out of solution.

      David Russell Actually NaCl does become slightly more soluble as temperature increases. See this graphic: chemwiki.ucdavis.edu/@api/deki/files/41042/solcurve1.gif?size=bestfit&width=384&height=290&revision=1

    • @davidrussell6762
      @davidrussell6762 9 лет назад +1

      Point taken, but the difference in solubility over that range of temperatures does not allow for such a significant degree of supersaturation as other salts like sodium acetate or sodium nitrate or potassium bromide.

      +David Russell HOw long do you have to wait before adding the one crystal? Can you just wait a couple hours for it to cool?

    • @lesgoddam1949
      @lesgoddam1949 8 лет назад

      Just needs to be cooled down sufficiently. Doesn't matter about time.
