    You should use a graphite block to flatten the glass. Graphite is what glassblowers use to form the glass. And then you don't accidentally crack your beaker from heat shock.

    If you don't anneal the glass it might just randomly check(break) while sitting on your shelf. Its better to just leave a pinpoint hole at the top,anneal then fill with a syringe then seal it. As a side note graphite aluminum or brass will be a far more suitable material to press against. get/make a polariscope and look at your ampoule and you will see the stress lines in the glass.

    Early wine bottles had the same issue when trying to stand up straight. A solution was found however and we now indent the bottoms of wine bottles to form a flat surface. So if you could find a small marble or something to form a little dome on the bottom it'd probably make your ampules a lot more stable and easier to form :)

    • @KallePihlajasaari
      @KallePihlajasaari 6 лет назад +1

      Wine bottles have a dome shape to allow for pressure build up. More common in the past but still vital for sparkling wines. Using a small brass dome rivet in a hole in some brass plate might be the best way to form a dome and a flat rim. Using just the dome/marble will not make the rim level, just narrow. However the reason for the glass was low thermal conductivity so brass, copper and aluminium are bad, stainless steel if you must use metal but graphite is the material of choice for glass working marvers if you plan to make lots.

    To make an ampoule with a 'scratch-zone' for safer opening!
    Like this:
    1) Pull a short, fat neck (the scratch-zone) about 1/3 the way from the open end of the tube.
    B) Pull a longer slender filling-neck from about half of the pulled section from step the first, leave a 'bulb' between the two necks.
    Tube tube sealing end.
    By scratching the fat neck, a cleaner break is possible.

      Actually opening an ampoule requires experience. The tip part should be broken, but sometimes the internal liquid generates gases that cause the entire ampoule to break. To prevent this, the ampoule should be cooled in a refrigerator to condense any possible gases and then just break the tip using small pliers.

    • @randoprior4130
      @randoprior4130 5 лет назад

      I would say a propane torch could work, but wouldn't be ideal. You would likely have to heat the glass up with a kiln before using propane torch because the thermal shock would likely shatter your piece. You could try holding the glass far away from the torch to pre heat it, moving it very slowly closer to the hottest part of the flame. It would take much longer than the yellow tanks but would probably work.

    • @genericusername562
      @genericusername562 8 лет назад +5

      +Sor Sor Science07 You don't. You shouldn't put hydrogen or other flammable gases in an ampoule, you should be storing those in a gas cylinder kept in a fire cabinet. Even if hydrogen weren't flammable/explosive, you still wouldn't be able to store it in an ampoule because it's lighter than air. It would escape before anyone could possibly seal it.
      But on the subject of leaking, if you shake your ampoule around like at the end of the video and no liquid escapes, you're very unlikely to have any gases escaping.

    Do the test tubes need to be borosilicate? I received some for my birthday, as my family knows I'm huge on chemistry, and am uncertain of the quality. (They are unmarked and I've had one break on me). I'd like to make ampoules, and using those would be ideal so I could get them out of my conscience.

      You can add a few drops of argon into the ampoule with the caesium which will boil off and displace the air in the ampoule as youre sealing it

    • @spudhead169
      @spudhead169 5 лет назад +1

      No need, the oxygen and humidity in the ampule when you seal it will quickly be all used up reacting with the caesium, you'll get a bit of tarnishing, but it won't get any worse than that so long as you have a good seal.

      Yellow chemist - A yellow burner flame is too cool and leaves black soot on glassware. You need more oxygen. What burner do you use? Small Bunsen burners are only good for biology.
      Get a tirril or better yet a Mekker burner. Open the air holes all the way. You want a blue flame with the smaller blue cone like he used in his demo. It will make some noise.
      My first burner was a plumbers torch - find them at a hardware store - they work well.
      Also Map-pro gas torches give a hotter flame of over 2000 C. The original Mapp plant closed in 2008. The Map-pro gas sold now is proplyene.
      Natural gas burners run on methane and produce slightly lower temps than propane or butane. Good luck.
