Making chloroform so I can sleep better at night

- Today I make chloroform to help me sleep better at night. Who would have thought this works so well! All jokes aside, this should not be recreated and is actually a carcinogen and not to be messed around with as phosgene production can happen from chloroform degradation. Let me know what you want next! Enjoy!

To address a few things:
1. There is a lot of SARCASM in this video. If you actually think I am going to use this as a sleep aid, you are wrong. All jokes! It is a carcinogen (cancer-causing, damage to organs, etc). This means you should not repeat what you see in this video. Chemistry can be a very dangerous hobby and it can injure or cause death if you don't know what you're doing. So please leave all the crazy shit to me!
2. Chloroform is a very useful solvent in chemistry. Everyone thinks its use is to kidnap people, but it is quite bad. It takes like 5 minutes of continuous breathing to do so. Though the jokes about it are quite funny (I love degenerate humor). Many people commented, "why would you show potential malicious people how to make it? ". My response is that anything shown in the chemistry world could be used badly. Malicious people will cause harm no matter what. This information is already readily available in organic chemistry courses everywhere. Knowledge is a gift and I have no malicious intent. You shouldn't either. BE GOOD BOYS AND GIRLS!!
3. I am taking all safety steps in my videos. The garage I perform my experiments are all ventilated and opened so that airflow is constantly circulating. I have respirators, goggles, etc. A fume hood will (hopefully) be built soon and I can do even crazier things! Although my lab techniques may be a little frantic and crazy, I do try my best to research and make sure everything is correct beforehand!
Thank you all for watching and subscribing. It means the world to me. Chemistry is so fascinating yet it always gets a bad taste in people's mouths cause school makes it boring. Hopefully, I can make it slightly more entertaining!
-Chemdelic
im gonna do it, wish me luck
well said brother
Was gonna thumbs up after this pussy comment. See ya in hell, snowflake.
Potential Malicious People tend to point out that there are "Potential Malicious People".
About that last part, i always felt that chemistry is teached in a terrible way in schools. Too many iupac names for organic chemistry and no lab classes (although lab classes are a bit too much for high school)
Btw this video got in the algorithm. Congrats
This video has been up for 10 days. That's about 9 days longer than I expected the overlords would have allowed it. Good show.
11 days now
They want us to euthanize ourselves
They probably figure it would benefit them to enable more plebs to make chloroform to do shady things to distract people from themselves. loljk
Yes Good show 🤔 but don't try this at home kids or possible preditors
this isn't illegal, it's just standard chemistry.
“I’m not going to give measurements because I’m not NileRed” goes on to give a Hamilton Morris style reaction breakdown 😂
I just saw how new this channel is, I couldn’t even tell with the production quality! Keep it up man, you’re going places.
He might have had his other channels shut down for their content... I mean, this worked great in my humidifier, I sleep right through the week.
Hopefully not on a list
I gotta ROLL BYe Liiittle White And I Are going BOWLIN Big Bowls I MEAN BALLS G wiZ 😮😊
funny yet actually useful projects + entertaining commentary + doing chem in what looks like your mom's basement = perfection
earned a sub
useful? chloroform?
@@mustardpuddle yeah indeed we are required to make chloroform here in my university as a lab practical (haloform rxn) lol
+there are other uses as well ifykwim
Didn't the creator want to sleep better at night? I'd say that is 1 of its many uses
@@JS-wc4xs yes indeed
altho it would be one hell of a sleep lol
@@RIPTechno As an inhalant, chloroform is even more ghastly than ether. I mean, check them off the list if you must but only hindsight will provide the opportunity to wish you hadn't bothered.
Don't worry, we've ALL poured something into an open sep funnel
This is such a common occurrence for me that I really should seek professional help. Thank you for watching!
@@chemdelic lmaooo that flop
Yup thats happened a couple times 😅 just make a habit of putting a beaker under it and then its no big deal. 😁🤓
Ive learned it for life after the first time i had a very messy cleanup afterwards
I did it back to back during a lab bc I was rushing 🥲
Im 40 years old. This is fascinating. I wish someone wouldve told me about chemistry when I was young. I look at footage of the old days when kids used to get chemistry sets as gifts. I want to learn chemistry now. It's never too late right.
Except, many of the compounds and elements you may want to experiment with today are much more difficult to come across or more expensive to purchase than when you were a kid. These days youtubers and hobby chemists alike find themselves on government lists and being interviewed by feds for even trying to purchase any number of things related to chemistry.
A reasonably intelligent person can learn a hell of a lot about something in 5 years. Especially with no children or spouses telling you the garage smells weird; telling you it's 3am, go the feck to bed, you have to work in the morning; etc.
@@cacogenicist this comment sounds like it comes from a place of experienced pain, and i get it honestly
It will eventually be too late if you wait much longer
My grandpa got his astrophysics degree when he was a bit older than 50 (in the early 2000), so you have more than ten years to start, and then, enjoy and keep doing interesting stuff
Just as a hint, nitrile gloves are very quickly dissolved by acetone and offer no protective effect beyond that of your own skin.
They make gloves out of several different materials. Perhaps these aren't nitrile.
@@TheGlassChambers I do know that there are many different materials. But what are those, if not Nitrile gloves?
@@Termodramatisch could be butyl, rubber, or latex as none of those melt in acetone.
@@TheGlassChambers From my laboratory I only know white latex gloves, blue nitrile gloves and purple butyl gloves. I don't know since when blue latex gloves have been around, that's critical for reasons of the risk of confusion. Well, I don't want to deny you anything, if you know that there is such a thing, I believe you.
@@Termodramatisch looks like a home lab or a small lab. I wouldn’t be surprised if he got over the counter gloves so they wouldn’t follow those same codes. I know autozone carries black nitrile gloves so I’m sure blue latex gloves were easily accessible or cheap where he bought them
it's like re-witnessing nilered's baby years
I've been struggling with insomnia recently, so I'll be trying this tonight! Thanks!
Bro I am telling you, absolute banger of a sleep supplement.
I've been exposed to it and it caused such a headache... Also brain-liver-kidney damage + carcenogenesity. Not the best sleeping pill :)
Toxicologically speaking, this is not the best idea. Unless you wanna support your local oncologist
@@chemdelic Head Banger?
Okay but realistically why can’t I just use this to help with insomnia?? Can anyone explain like I’m five?
Definitely keep going! I didn't even notice how new you were to youtube. I thought I had just stumbled across another channel similar to nielred or nurdrage and I was blown away to see this was your third video. You are doing an amazing job at making these videos and they have great production quality.
Nielred, the Dutch version of NileRed
@@wolfy9005 W comment provided by Rob F (now wolfy9005)
Dude please keep uploading. I love how detailed you are, but also straight to the point! The humor is just an extra bonus. Your channel is bound to blow up, keep grinding!
He’s competing directly with NileRed. He’s unlikely to blow up, unfortunately.
Just casually doing a tutorial on chloroform.
Im all for it, subscribed ^^
If my math is correct, you have a yield of 51% for the first one, then 70 % yield for the second reaction!
Thank you for doing that!
The council will watch your career with great interest
I'm from México and my native language is spanish, but i read the title and i couldn't help but enter here and watch a bit because i don't understand spoken english well, but i got a big surprise when i realized that the video was already over. I really didn't realize because the narration and everything was incredible and it made me very understandable. as of today I am a new sub.
Your written English is excellent 👍.
Woah! Un paisano!! Jajaja
Making chloroform to sleep better
Me who has sleep issues: hmm, yes.
Idk if he has a video on it. But you could make ghb for sleep and it would be more effective and more safe.
Do keep up the good work, ive watched all 3 of your vids, you already have a unique & funny style, ther has been a notable lack of entertaining chemistry content on the tube lately. I love seeing simple chem being done in a fun way.
The fact that I can make this chemical faster and easier then I can get an appointment with a doctor is incredible.
It's also sad that I can make ghb from gaba easier than I can get prescribed a sleeping pill that works.(without the bad side affects)

@@Psilomuscimol you wouldn't happen to be using brave browser would you? Your comment got multi posted and I find thats usually brave browsers fault when it happens to me.
Anyway, that seriously is sad, the side effects of GHB are not fun. It's basically a date rape drug as you clearly know.
A fellow Canadian I'm guessing?
When you install your stopcock, place the Teflon piece on, then the o-ring. You have the o-ring on first, which causes leaks. You will even see that the nut has a groove on one side where the o-rings seats to.
Damn. Amazing content. Covered all the important parts - including clean up! Keep at it and this will be one of the top chemistry channels on youtube.
quoted from wiki, "In 1934, Killian gathered all the statistics compiled until then and found that the chances of suffering fatal complications under ether were between 1:14,000 and 1:28,000, whereas under chloroform the chances were between 1:3,000 and 1:6,000."
When you've poured hard to replace stuff in open sep funnel enough, you learn the habit of always putting a beaker (or whatever container) under the sep funnel before you pour. You'll need the container anyway and doing it first can save you from trouble. Especially when you pour something that has a week worth work behind it, you'll love to see it go in the container instead of table or fume hood floor and then trying to extract it from there back.
This is the way.
Why not just... check the stopcock?
@@Drakeblood97 You should do that. But for the case you forget to, you'll love if you've put a beaker below before pouring.
It adds no extra work but order of operations can save you when you make a mistake. I've you've never done that, it is a matter of time when you will.
Well, you would think.... 🤦♀️
Ahhhh, Chloroform... without it, my dating life would be almost non-existing.
hey this is the FBI. Yeah ...this entire coment section is under survailance.
Great video, I hope your channel grows.
I hope so too!
im hoping for "making acid to become a better artist" next!!!!! but for real, thanks for making chemistry less of a chore to learn
You can make acid (LSD) by distilling Fosters Beer.
I know a lot of people have said it but I had no idea how new you were when I watched this. You have a great voice and speech style and the content is golden! Genuinely keep this up. I’m excited to see how far you are from 3k subs when I next check in.
Seriously, this reminds me of 2nd year organic chemistry. When we got access to the ‘working’ labs and the true chemists in us came out to play!
I thought you had over a mill subs based on your video and editing quality before I went to hit the sub button. Youre gonna get popular fast, 10/10 video dude.
I lost it laughing at the weird oven smell thing, imagining the total freak out and then…the dawning realization it’s just that stink of new warming electrical components.
I have no doubt I’d be reacting identically.
I’ve been watching this over and over again since this uploaded. Honestly, I love the style and how you’re making your videos. + a subscriber
Glad you enjoy it!
I like your style. Your narration is clear, concise, and pleasant to listen to. I like Nilered, but I think you've got a good thing going here.
1:20 “I’m not Nile red” X to doubt.
I love how Nilered has become a meme in the chemistry community
Ok from the title alone, instant subscription. The video quality, the humour, everything else is absolutely incredible 100/10
Ive been a fan of nilered man but 2 vids in and you're already my fav chem video guy. Super organic and funny, not mention brave. I love it man. Not to mention educating people is the easiest way to save people's live from foolishly embarking on unknowns and this is one that someone may even do by accident.
Underrated channel glad it got recommended to me. Keep up the hood work!
The quality and commentary is so good first video I've seen from you!!
Idk what you are doing for Audio but you have such a relaxing voice and cadence.
Great content! Light humor,humble, no bs fluff, very informative!
i have a tip for those who cant make chloroform just use this breathing evercise
in
hold
out
in
hold
Very unique style, I'll love to see how this channel goes :D
Having chemistry and watching some practical stuff is really intriguing, keep going !
There are 2 types of people .
Those who have had an accident in a lab and those who have never worked in a lab .
I was expecting the testing of the chloroform at the end.
Wrap the magnesium sulfate in foil before baking if you want it to not burn and be extremely easy to collect.
This can go south in so many ways. I am not particularly afraid of someone misusing this vid because chances are they'll kill themselves trying to do it.
unlikely, the reagents are mishandled often by the average anyways, you gotta see what i have seen to believe me that people pour bleach and acid toilet cleaner together way too often
a friend of mine actually managed to raise yield up to 89% (with drying and distillation) he said to use a 5% excess of hypochlorite, cool it in a salted ice bath, and stir it 800rpm approx while adding acetone to maintain below 20C, then after it dies down lower stirring to 300rpm or so for 2 hr to coalesce it all, he said just 20 mins of stirring was enough (also said that he had best luck with 7.5% clorox but i think other brands should work unless they have more NaOH or something)
The only thing I could see going wrong is if they added acid to the mixture (as toxic chlorine gas is a product). Or spending 5 minutes huffing the final product to see what a KO from chloroform feels like. Safety should always be taken seriously though! Thank you for watching :)
This is great content. Funny punchlines, engaging stories, solid production. Keep it up. I'm subscribed.
I'm 37 and still learning.. never thought i learn this... Gotta love RUclips
Nice video! Quick tip, you need to add more mag sulfate. The hydrates get clumpy, but anhydrous will be fine powder. Add slowly until you see chunks not getting made :)
I AM IMPRESSED, I have been waiting for so long to see a chemist channel explain or show his reaction mechanism, thanks man , because I really enjoy to learn chemistry.
Fantastic video! Subbed. Closest to chem ASMR I've found, with great production quality. A few notes: would've loved the % yield shown, and it might be a good idea to put your disclaimers in the video. Keep up the good work helping advance the youtube chem community!
New sub, I like the way you work, I can understand you when you talk and you make good videos, thank you!
Now I'm not gonna struggle so much sleeping. Thanks!
This video is the start to your successful youtube career👍🏻👍🏻
You allowing such knowledge to us, as well as humor, is awesome. Im glad you and the dea are good pals.
Next: making synthetic THC because my dealer got arrested.
Or: making hydrogensulfide and searching my boss
THC is legal in my state so this is a possibility!
@@chemdelic making synthetic THC because my dealer doesn't sell fire anymore*
bro. sick channel, i love your vids. you are awesome. now do "homemade lysergic acid". please!!!!
Whole family is sleeping great! Thanks!
Read this title and thought "My intrusive thoughts have a video?"
“Hey! Does this smell like chloroform to you?” Ultimate pickup line.
“I’m not NileRed” proceeds to explain more chemistry in 20 seconds than Nigel has EVER
What videos have you been watching???
Nile explains everything bro
Aint no way your lab coat is a patagonia puff. I love it
Great video, keep up the good work, also they way you explained the reaction at 01:58 triggered my full on Hamilton Morris flashbacks that i have gotten from listening to him explaining chemical reactions in a really fast manner
When I was 20 and freshly moved out of home, I bought a toaster oven for my new apartment. I did not know that the heating elements had manufacturing gunk on them, and when I started it, it smoked something awful. Freaked me the fuck out. So I did what any panicked twenty year old would do, and took it back to the store to swap for a different one....which also did the same thing.
I've always wanted to smell chloroform. Not to pass out or anything. I'm just curious about different chemistry smells. Lol
That gives quite a buzz, or so i heard...
I didn't know that the chloroform would degrade after a longer time in the bleach solution, which is good to know because I have some reacting currently, so I will need to separate it tomorrow afternoon.
I quite like your channel so far, keep up making great videos.
dont forget to hold the rag long enough so that your lab partner is realy asleep ;)
Didn’t realize you were only a couple months old proud to say you’ve gained a subscriber keep up the content
Man hes really been asleep for a long time, must be pretty good I'll be sure to try it tonight 😴
Chaotic chemistry
been wanting to explore some new engineering/chemistry yt channels other than the big 4 I watch (Michael Reeves, Styropyro, NileRed, ElectroBoom). I like what I see so I'ma keep an eye out and subscribe. keep it up brotha 👍
Great to see someone interested in the same channels I follow. You might try out Action Lab(mostly physics, but can be a mix of all sci), science asylum, ScienceClic English(physics, very underated tbh) as well. I came here probs due to the algorithm.
With what's coming up, I might just speedrun getting kicked off RUclips!
@@chemdelic Haha , just make sure you have a way to speedrun back to youtube as well(just incase).
I can only recommend AppliedScience
@@chemdelic just be somewhat safe while you're doing it, I'll be waiting for the second channel
This is great. I'm glad you were in my suggested. The ending was a little abrupt and I had to go back to like this video and sub. Thanks for the content.
god this is a beautiful video love the energy and especially loved the mech explanation
Loved the video, especially the mechanism portion!
damn its crazy that after organic chem I can finally understand what he's saying. I used to look at stuff like that and be awestruck
I find its a lot more easy and fun when you don't have a test for orgo
WAS JUST STUDYING THE HALOFORM REACTION WHEN THISPOPPED UP AND IVE NEVER FELT MORE INTELLIGENT BECAUSE I UNDERSTOOD HOW HE DESCRIBED THE REACTION
I work in HVAC and we deal with phosgene all the time. You see, when an air conditioner or heat pump's compressor burns out, it will take some of the refrigerant with it and when it does it converts into phosgene gas(you can also do the same by burning it). It smells like STRONG acetic acid and it's enough to run you out of an area before you get enough in your lungs to do much. The reason so many people were killed due to phosgene was that they were trapped in foxholes with bullets firing over their heads so they had no choice but to breathe the stuff. If you didn't have that, you'd run like crazy from it.....and we do though thankfully we're usually outside anyway so it's never been a concern.
That is scary. There are definitely some things I will not work with due to some crazy compounds out there!
"I'm not Nile Red so I'm not gonna do that" I chuckled.
Excellent, very funny and great voice!
How easily you get acetone as a cleaner. Here is a heavily regulated substance, but is such a lovely solvent. I miss it.
You can now make a video about Reimer-Tiemann formylation reaction (e.g. making salicylic aldehyde from phenol, vanillin from protocatechuic aldehyde from catechol).
When I was younger, I was trying to make TNT. I mixed the three ingredients. Note that I was trying to make TNT in bulk like 250 to 300 g. I knew my ingredients list was correct because I had made it before in the amount of a few grams.
As you indicated, he is bad.
I started making the solution and started mixing. I was using a bottle with a screw top. I left the container cap loose, but not loose enough. The ingredients got extremely hot and some of the toluene started evaporating at a rate, much faster than he could escape through the cat. The container blew up in my hands and left the two dangerous acids and toluene all over me. Fortunately, I had a lab coat and goggles so I was OK. But the experience was extremely scary and to this day I have PTSD over that.
Great videography and a nice relaxing voice, please keep on making videos!
I miss the times when chloroform could be bought at a local pharmacy. It's a great bonding agent for many plastics (including car bumpers). Maybe one day I'll take a shot at making a small quantity. I had a 20ml bottle and it went gluing and gluing, and was half full last time I used it (the remainder evaporated over a few years on the shelf)
You can usually get it on eBay/Amazon’s
@@epg9274 I find it very odd, once it was banned from the public, almost 3 decades ago (at least in Europe). Just for the fun of it, I made a search in eBay and couldn't find a match. There are many products with similar or misleading names, but when you look at the description, it has nothing to do with it.
Instantly subscribed. Your videos are really well produced!
wtf! yooo dude this is amazing id love to see more, youll blow up for sure
funny how the anarchist cook book is probably the best hand guide to what household chemicals should never be mixed.
i got mold on my windows and i need to clean my windows. dont do that, but, it is a first thought.
Nice content, you're gonna be popular I'm sure)
The F b I in the beging 😅😅🤣🤣🤣
Speed run getting taken down
Nice vid, had some fun mocking you handle the separatory funnel because I also always forget the damn stopper on those and wonder why the flow is shit before realizing my ass is dumb. Anyways keep it up I like your work!
And what is the end product used for?
why is there a black van in front of my house
I'm a little confused about how the ClO- anion becomes both ClOH and -OH during the first steps. What pH does this reaction happen at?
At least 2
There is also sodium hydroxide in bleach bottles!
@@chemdelic huh, I guess that's why the reaction is so slow, since household bleach has a pH of 11-12 and HOCl is only present in any significant amount at a pH below its pKa of 7.5.
When you said. "Don't judge me for what you're about to see". That got me. Sub on the first video. Good work man
I’m surprised we are all here lol. I’m so shocked RUclips hasn’t taken this down.
I find all this chemistry so interesting. I just wish i knew what 95% of the words meant in your description of the reaction.
We need more shed chem on youtube.
I don't know how I got to Chemistry RUclips, but now I want to do this.
This is the first video of yours that I have seen. I will say, the part where you said "I'm just kind of stupid" around 5:33 made me laugh so hard. I love your sense of humor. You are obviously far from stupid. I've definitely going to subscribe.
pretty cool channel, and dont worry ive done stupid stuff like pouring nitration mixture into an open sep, it happens and every time now i always put something under it before i pour it in, just in case its not closed or it leaks
also a heads up, the plastic ring after the o ring on the sep funnel is not polyethylene or other inert plastic, ive had one dissolve from acetone
also you probably know but you should tighten the stopcock more, i can see it dripping chloroform out which is making me antsy XD
Yeah, I realized that I should have done that! Thank you for the suggestions!
Good video.
I was watching this last night in a half awake state having an absolute existential crisis cause I though you where saying it decomposes into Phosphine not phosgene, it confused me greatly. So much in fact I decided I had to come back to confirm what you where saying. Luckily I was wrong and am apparently deaf.
Did you use haloform rxn to make it?
Dude, great video. You're going to get big!
