Thanks for the support!
Just as an FYI if you live in a bigger center that has a soap making supply shop you should be able to get it there. Potassium Hydroxide is used when you make a liquid soap Sodium Hydroxide is for hard soap. And they are typically food grade so I would assume very pure. But making stuff is always fun good job. Though I did have to sign a contract promising not to make anything bad.
ok, thanks! i am not sure if there are any soapmaking stores near me, but i will look. Thanks!
potassium hydroxide melts at 360°C. Have you tried to melt it ? Also the melting point is a very good indication of the purity ...
Potassium hydroxide has long been made from solutions of slaked lime and potassium carbonate. you don't have to tell how to make slaked lime because it is common and easy to make. the reaction of alkali metal carbonate with slaked lime is called caustification and in this reaction limestone precipitates and alkali metal hydroxide is formed
Is there any reason you did not grind up the calcium to increase its dissolving before you put it in the water?
Bro, use barium hydroxide as it is very soluable in hot water and barium is expensive but the barium is recoverable almost fully and quite easy to turn to its hydroxide form thanks to its low solubility in cold water.
PLZ MAKE A VIDEO TO PURIFY AND CONCENTRATE HCL
Put one container of hcl and another container with water and place both inside of a sealed box to fit both. Leave it for a few weeks.
Could you use a saturated solution of potassium chloride and a saturated solution of sodium hydroxide or calcium hydroxide and do a displacement that way?
Anyhow count?
did u mean K2CO3?
Yeah
It's the caustification process, that's why it's called caustic Potassium (or Soda, if done with that) - however, great job - that's the spirit, comrade!

You know you could make it from wood ash, stones, straw and water for naturally right?
Aetheon Pro I just finished doing that! There will be a video soon
Cool... Can't wait to see that
Why does it dissolve better in cold water?(I assume the answer has to do with the physics of chemistry). Something to do with particle size or polarity?
you know, that is actually a very good question. Calcium hydroxide is a polar compound like water, however as noted, it has very low soluability. I dont think particle size has to do with anything, but i am not sure. That is quite interesting... I know some gasses like nitrogen and oxygen will dissolve in water, but their solubility decreases while the tempurature increases. This sounds similar to what could be happening here, however, calcium hydroxide is polar, and nitrogen and oxygen are not. I am not totally sure, I will try to remember to ask one of the chemistry teachers at my school. Thanks for the intriguing question
will it make a displacement reaction with potassium chloride and calcium hydroxyde
No
make gunpowder for 700 subs because that was when it was discovered. 700 ad in china
that is a wonderful idea, but i am 2 away from 700 now. I dont think I can have it ready in time. I will definatly try to do a gunpowder video eventually though.
Bro sounds like obama. But actually, very helpful video
