Laifen Wave Toothbrush-Offical: bit.ly/3xAfHI5 Laifen Wave Toothbrush -Amazon: amzn.to/3RN1v5v #laifentech I check what happens when you put pure sodium metal in dry water.
@@artstsym Likely the sodium reduced to a point where the amount in the first explosion was less than the second. While the second explosion was larger, it behaved the same.
I think the first explosion created micro cracks that were small enough that the glass didn't break. But the 2nd explosion made those initial cracks propagate till it fractured
(RUclips ate my post -- trying again) Actually, the first time putting sodium in dry water did have an explosion -- it was just much smaller than that of the second time. It didn't break the beaker, but it did blow out material with a very audible pop. Also note that sodium hydroxide will react with the silica that was used to convert the water into dry water.
i may be misremembering but there was another liquid ive seen, but cannot recall the formula of that is also called dry water, it might just be someone using hydrophobic powder on themselves and other objects but i think it was a slightly modified H2O formula that made it behave differently. the differences are that that liquid looks and behaves exactly like water but does not "wet" anything put into it, i think the person stated it could be injested safely. if it is a different substance it would be interesting to see sodium react to that kind of liquid
Water is not wet. Wetness is the emergent relationship between 2 different substances, a liquid and a solid. If the adhesive forces between them are greater than the cohesive forces of the liquid, then the solid is said to be wet with the liquid. If water is wet with itself (as a liquid), then wetness becomes a useless thing that applies to every liquid because they're all wet with themselves. Hydrophobic materials covered in water would need to be considered wet because they have water on them despite the water not adhering to them.
I was thinking "what the hell is even dry water" as I opened the video. He began the video and IMMEDIATELY went "what is dry water, you may ask", I was like HOW DID HE KNOW?? :0
New video idea: put sodium in a chamber and then surround it with water, open the chamber and see what happens whem sodium founds himself underwater. the camber could basically be a bowl connected with a string
I mean, you always have a mad scientist vibe, but this one cranks it up to eleven. "I've learned through experience that sodium and water is one of those _outside_ experiments." 🤣
Phone slow mo has came so far, my brother has slow mo skate tricks from his iphone 4-8 idk but its like half speed and now they can do like 10x slower speed
It seems to me the sodium only exploded on the second test because it was not a fresh mixture of silica water the first test released or freed some of the water from the silica making the sodium more apt to explode cuz it could get to the water easier. I bet if you did a fresh mixture of the silica water or dry water. The very first test would not explode every time but the second one would
I have a potentially interesting and also potentially totally boring and uneventful idea. Depending on what the result is. How would sodium (or other alkali metals/their alloys - NaK for example) react with a dry high hydrate of a salt - like blue vitriol, Magnesium or Calcium sulfate or chloride hydrates etc. It would probably be difficult to test fairly, as those wouldn't like to react due to little surface for contact between the reactants. Best would be probably trying to introduce liquid without involving water - like trying to melt the salt at low enough temperature while not driving out the water of hydration (if ever possible), or by using NaK under inert atmosphere. What do you think?
no. lava is just molten rock. just like molten metal is metal. its not wet.(that is if you will not take it in atomic level). better question is is water wet?
@@aelolul He already lost his mind by the point he did that research and published, but for such a... person.... I'm still amazed at the novelty and quality of that paper. Apparently you can be an asshole AND a scientist.
My dad was in a frat at Cal in the early 60s. They'd snag sodium from the lab on campus, cut notches in the block to give it more surface area, then throw in in a garbage can full of water. BOOM! Outside experiment for sure.
I know someone who stole some magnesium when we did experiments in science class. She took it home, tried to light it on the stove to show to her family. Didn't manage to do it. I've seen their kitchen. She could've easily set it on fire.
@@kindlin I know, was following him since the dawn of RUclips, when he was had his epic clash with Hovind and VenomFangX. And tbh, I learned a lot from his approach. And got really interested in biology thanks to him. But when you get his approach, when you understand his line of thinking... all you left with is rather boring and toxic rants of the guy enjoying him being the smartest kid in the room. I have extremely mixed feelings about that guy.
This is a three step reaction, all three of which are very energetic. In the first stage, sodium metal initially reacts with the water until it becomes molten. During stage 2, as a hot fluid, it will react violently with fumed silica in a thermite type reaction, forming elemental silicon and sodium oxides. A third reaction sees the sodium oxides react with the entrained water forming sodium hydroxide and hydrogen. Place a lump of sodium in dry fumed silica and remotely initiate the reaction with a propane torch. You will be surprised at the ferocity of the redox reaction. No water needed.
@@jskelton25 You might be right. I googled it and found conflicting reactions. One school of thought says that sodium peroxide and water form NaOH and oxygen. A second claims that the products are NaOH and hydrogen peroxide. Either way, the third reaction is spicy.
There is a thing called aerated water, it's used in water treatment, I guess to separate the 💩 out. You can't swim in it, you will sink. The density of the aerated water is low so the force of buoyancy is not high enough for people to float.
@@dominicfindlay Aerated water can also be highly dangerous, even for boats, IIRC occasionally this can occur naturally though underwater volcanism and hydrothermal vents
6:12 You show the paper by Philip E. Mason, also known as Thunderf00t here on RUclips. You really should mention his videos where he explains the Coulomb explosion, and link to his alkali metal explosion videos in general.

There's explosions, and then there's sodium explosions. If you're walking away with an intact vessel, it wasn't a sodium explosion.

Given how violent the explosion was. I found it most interesting the exploding material did not strike the glass shield protecting the camera.
The fact that you can come up with so many interesting experiments is amazing ☺️
"No explosion"

Wow! Thank you for taking my request🤩
Explosions and toothbrushes was just what I needed at 10:44 pm✨

I still feel like water is not wet. But it can make things wet
Cool video, James, thanks!

0:08 The Almighty Valkyrae is gonna have a rant about wet water! Lol
"no beakers were harmed in the making of this video "
on the point of sodium metal floating on liquid water, what if you place the sodium metal at the bottom first then drop the dry water on it?

Dry water? That is like saying that a water balloon is dry water
whelp, I did need a new toothbrush...
Why does my brain always want to chew the squishy sodium chunk??
is the explosion caused your hair style 😉
Oh lord... what happened? Not sure it's scientific but that happened to me once when I let a girlfriend cut my hair.
Surely it's just because you coated the water so the sodium can't react with the _water_ component as it's covered in fumed silica.
2:47 my lawyer advised me to not make this joke
Didn't know about dry water, but that went kind of like I thought it would.

I indeed think how does he keep his teeth clean while watching a beaker explode under a reaction of sodium with "DRY WATER". VERY NORMAL.
People with sensitive, oversized gums: Yeah, brushes aren't for my teeth.
the toothbrush needs an upright charger.. no one wants the brushy part on it's side, even if it's slightly elevated.
broo this videos get cooler and funnier every time😹💖
I wonder what would happen if you lightly degassed the dry water first...
Can you have dry water ice?
Water is wet, yes, but it's not wet in and of itself.
hey looks like u made a semi controlled sodium rocket

I was thinking "what the hell is even dry water" as I opened the video. He began the video and IMMEDIATELY went "what is dry water, you may ask", I was like HOW DID HE KNOW?? :0
What about the fact that sodium hydroxide dissolves silica to form sodium silicate? This could also be a factor.
The dry water probably wasn't dy enough 😁.
The explosions were great but the hair stole the show

Did I miss the big ball bearing? It's in the thumbnail.
no explosion. procedes to explode😂

Put water in a jar, then cover it with petrol.
Then drop the sodium into the jar.
Then tell us why it didn’t explode.
Dry water is CF3CF2C(O)CF(CF3)2
Idea. Have a beaker of one half dry water floating on normal water so when you throw in the sodium it blows up in the middle. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
it seems angry...
Interesting, now go a step further and use "water of crystallisation" since it is still water but chemically bound what would happen.
now got to explain wet water
I mean, you always have a mad scientist vibe, but this one cranks it up to eleven. "I've learned through experience that sodium and water is one of those _outside_ experiments." 🤣

I am convinced that water isn’t wet.
I mean something covered in water is wet not the water itself!
Dry water…. I thought you meant ice.

That was so cool!
Isn’t wetness and emergent property and therefore wouldn’t have an effect on sodium??

No explosions...
you should chew the sodium

Okay but let's ask the real question here: Is lava wet?
