@himalayo lmao something similar actually happened. So my dad said he was gonna change out the smoke detectors and I was asking him if I could keep the old ones for the americium (idk what I wanted it for but it seemed cool). He was then telling me about how that stuff was radioactive and I was like “yeaaaaaaaah il be fiiiiine”
I tried this while back, kinda works but inefficent due to the fact that at the Anode the Cl- gets oxidised to Cl2 rather than water oxidised into H+, but it does work as Chlorine react with water to form HCl and HOCl, and also some H+ ions are generated that react with Cl- ions to form HCl. I used graphite welding rods as electrodes and clay pots as membranes, I put just water into the anode and salt to the cathode. After running for 3 hours at arround 3A, I filtered out the carbon particles with cotton ball as filter and test it by putting a piece of zinc into it, it does react moderatly not as strong reaction as 20% HCl I have but it works nicely still, but the chlorine dissolved in it will make it more reactive towards metal for example it react mildly with copper as chlorine acts as an oxidiser. (Sorry for the long comment).
This was actually a pretty cool alternative to standard chloralkali process, which while less efficient, is safer and easier than burning the hydrogen and chlorine lol
@@ChemistryOnCreatine but how concentrated is this HCL? ia want aboyt 30% hcl is that possible through Brine(salt water) electrolysis and waiting for chlorine to disolve in water or not??
Speaking of neat, impractical chemistry, I would really love to see aluminium extracted from ordinary soil, as soil contains lots of clay and apparently clay contains mostly aluminium phyllosilicates
Blue clay has aluminum red clay has iron. I also want to do this. I think you can do it with electrolysis too. It should produce an aluminum oxide on the cathode or something? Might need platinum? Isnt elemental aluminum produced using electricity? Like theirs a patented process.
@@sideswipe147 so not cost effective that (napoleon?) Had aluminum cutlery that was used more selectively that his gold cutlery. And the Washington monument was capped with aluminum rather than gold. It became cheap once electric smelters had cheap power, and why you see Quebec who has hydroelectric dams producing aluminum.
Youre saying Chloride gas the whole but obviously meaning Chlorine. Just wanted to Point Out a small mistake. Also make Sure of good Ventilation (Open a Windows while experimenting ) maybe you could have shown a quick Demo reaction with youre Synthesized HCl to proof your success instead of checking Base Level of other Cup. Good Video and stay safe :) Cool Experiment and stay Safe! :)
Yea they sound really similar, I realized the difference like halfway through the video. Ventilation is needed but it mostly goes away in a few minutes. I will try and synthesize future acids with bases ty for the tip Thank you for the tips stay safe as well
Not quite, it rips it into Na+ and Cl- and H+ and OH-, Na+ reacts with water to make NaOH, the chlorine ions guessing make chlorine gas and dissolve it in water. 2Cl2 + 2H2O -> 4HCl + O2 (I think?)
Hey Dude, what did you said must be in that pipe? What filter? How you mounting it? My english is good, however I am not native and I am not sure if you said Carbon filter or what? And how carbon filter would let electrons through and salt water not?
Cotton filter, I put a piece of cotton which then got soaked in the water allowing it to conduct. The main purpose of it is to not let the two liquids mix. It just tries to stop ions from passing through, like kinda blocking them, which doesn’t allow the liquids to mix on their own, but the electricity still pulls them through allowing for the process to happen
When working with acidic fumes like Cl2, HCl, SO2, SO3.... You could use normal covid repsirator soaked in fully saturated baking soda solution, to neutralize some of those fumes.
You didn't make hydrochloric acid, you made hypochlorous acid, which is a weak acid. To make hydrochloric acid, you need to react the chlorine gas with hydrogen gas, before it is absorbed by water. Another possibility for making hydrochloric acid is this: ruclips.net/video/Aq_tDvQGG5g/видео.html
Looking back, yea I probably did you’re right, back then I was newer to chem so I didn’t know too well. I should try to make it by burning chlorine in hydrogen though just as you said now that I have better access to both of those chemicals. Very nice video by the way keep it up
I tried something similar with three 9v batteries and 2 stainless steel forks and everything inside the same bottle and the water turned dark yellow, like beer or piss in a minute, smelled like a pool and had some sort of orange powder floating around.
Judging off your description that’s iron hydroxide, actually that’s what my pfp is, it’s very pretty when made properly but otherwise nah. The yellow water is probably (I’m taking a massive guess here) the mixture of iron hydroxide and chromium hydroxide (again, just a guess). The swimming pool smell is chlorine gas, that’s what I smelt in the video except 8 or 9 times worse. The powder itself is iron hydroxide, it is insoluble and is therefore floating around. For my pfp I shook up the bottle a lot to make it seem more like a solution than something floating at the top.
@@ChemistryOnCreatine oh so that means stainless steel can still oxidise? Is graphene the only material that wont? Also don't whif that shit, I once smelled a bit too much SO2 after burning sulphur and it felt like there was acid in my nose for a few seconds. Learned my lesson, hold your breath.
No here’s the thing, stainless steel shouldn’t oxidize, so idk why it reacted. Graphite is very unreactive so il just use that. Prob gold or silver or smth could also work. You smelt sulfur dioxide, very bad smell, this is also pretty bad smell, felt like a punch inside my nose, tbh idk what I was thinking smelling it but I’ve leant my lesson lmao
Lower quality SS has iron in it. There is ferrous, and non-ferrous SS. That is why it can oxidize. My condolences to you smelling that hydrochloric acid 😂😂 Don’t do that anymore.
I mean that would work better to just give you a solution of chlorine gas dissolved in water but not hydrochloric acid, you’d need to react the dissolved chlorine gas somehow with the water it’s dissolved in
@@ChemistryOnCreatine Are you sure chlorine gas does not react directly with water (Cl2 + H2O -> HCl + HClO) at standard conditions, without UV light? Everytime I search for it on the internet I read that it does, and I also tested one of my "anode mixtures" from chloralkali cells by putting copper inside it, and today, a long time after, I found it green with copper(II) chloride, wich turned into insoluble and blue copper(III) hydroxide when reacting with sodium hydroxide. I'm pretty confused with this, because it would mean we could make hydrochloric acid by bubbling chlorine gas into water and heating it so the hypochlorous acid decomposes leaving the water with only hydrochloric acid.
this isnt hydrochloric acid but instead hypochlorous acid. To make hydrochloric acid, you need to react hydrogen and chlorine together directely as gasses. hypochlorous acid isnt useless on its own, it is a potent antiseptic on its own but its mostly used to make sodium hypochlorite aka chlorine bleach
Yea lmao I got that by now, my tech is a little bit better so in theory I could make actual hcl now but I’m not sure if I should as that’s repetition. Frankly I don’t have any idea what to do rn
@ChemistryOnCreatine maybe you should go ahead and make it into bleach and use that to make other stuff or something. It might make for a compelling video
@NasZaabi I mean I could make bleach, just by electrocuting a salt solution with 2 inert electrodes, but that seems too simple. I’ve gotten to the point that idk what’s cool cuz nearly everything seems obvious and basically common knowledge to me
The indicator gets colorless because of incomplete transition. Burning hydrogen in chlorine is more effective. Please work outdoors when handling chlorine.
I just kinda figured it fully dissolved as it was just a drop. Hydrogen in chlorine.. you know I thought of that but unfortunately I don’t have the pipework or tech to make such a machine. It’s like -10 outside so I can’t for now haha
@@ChemistryOnCreatine A small erlenmeyer flask, a pierced stopper and a few meters of hoses and glass pipes is all you need for that (if you already have a glass cutter amd a blow torch). H2 can be generated from hydrochloric acid, aluminum foil and a copper salt. Experimenting with with chlorine is rather something for the time between spring and autumn...
@@ChemistryOnCreatine You can also buy ready bent angle pipes and glass pasteur pipettes if you don't wanna do glass work. If you have the chance to get hold of an old but well preserved chemistry set from THAMES & KOSMOS (C1, C3000) you should buy it. They contain a good basic equipment.
Essentially you made bleach on the Right side right? So if that is the case, can't you just take chlorine bleach and expose it to UV light to turn it into hydrochloric acid?
Well I sure know I got chlorine, it smelt much different I can tell you that much. You see all the sodium ions went to the left side so there was excess chlorine on the right, what I did was fuse that chlorine with hydrogen from water. It all checks out as you can see it’s acidic in the end
@@ChemistryOnCreatine I was just wondering if you could just expose bleach to UV light to make hydrochloric acid or if you have to go through this process to get there. ??
I watched this video on how to make bleach and this is what got me started thinking about hydrochloric acid because you end up with chlorine gas on one side and hydrogen gas on the other...
Oh I read your comment wrong, no you can’t. I don’t know what’s happening there if you do shine uv light on it, Il speculate pure oxygen will be released, but there will certainly not be any hcl, at least not for over a split second a few molecules at a time.
Honestley I wouldn’t reccomend it, I’m guessing it would just degrade the electrode more, I mean I have no extra supplies but if you do then yea go for it. I’m not certain tho. I have no idea what the concentration is as that requires fancy stuff like titration and at that time I didn’t know or have the matereal or interest to try that, maybe I should try now
Is it really HCl that is being formed? What if I bubble the Cl2 into another cup with water? Would it turn into hcl? I just need at least a 10% HCl to dissolve carbonate rocks, in my country its really hard to find HCl
@_retr0_210 well not exactly. I’m pretty sure now that it’s hocl forming which should also work to dissolve rocks. If you want hcl you want to get cl2 and h2, mix them and light the gas up, that should produce hcl fumes (could maybe explode but idk)
That’s actually why I made my channel, too much people were posting far too impractical for me methods and I was confused at the start. So I figured others were as well and chose to begin making videos with more normal methods
Alive, the chlorine punched me in the nostrils, it felt like a punch on the inside. It was like 7 or 8x times more concentrated than a swimming pool. After inhaling it I could smell it for another few hours inside my nose. Yea never smell chlorine like that, but yea I’m fine
@@ChemistryOnCreatine but if you do chemistry were is your ppe like gloves goggles and respirator Not to sound like a person who all ways tells people that but it is so very dangerous not to have that and if you want to keep making chemistry videos you will need them and it sounds like fun and a tip do it out side .
I appreciate your concern and assure you I am being careful, I try to avoid spilling anything and checking if something is base by tasting it (it was a base, it was bitter) I will buy and use safety equipment when I am doing something a little more extreme, but for now I’d say with caution it’s fine, that chlorine coughing moment was from when I sniffed it directly
Boil the saltwater in order to be able to add more salt and make a super-saturated salt solution. Cool it down, and the extra salt should remain in solution. Some may drop out of solution; but, there should definitely be a marked increase in the solution's salt concentration
@@ChemistryOnCreatine i will believe you for now but its still kinda weird because when we do electrolysis of salted water it makes O2 and H2 which is provable by doing the inverse reaction and seeing that its still water
I did this and used aluminium instead of expensive copper as a cathode The solution is so basic I don't even know what I created The PH indicator from cabbage became blue, when placed in the anodized cup, but deep deep yellow on the other side, I think I made the correct solution except I didn't put it in the sun for long enough...But I found it weird because cabbage indicator is red normally, but it changed to blue, meaning that the "chlorine" solution is Basic?!?! what the hell???! Also I used wall power to a 12v 10a power supply instead of a weak battery, the reaction was so fast that within an hour the whole HOUSE stinked of chlorine gas despite being covered, placed in a room where no one would be able to smell it, and in an environment with ventilation, yet somehow it made it to the whole house. (I then moved it to the outside but this made things way harder). And my graphite anodes grew larger in size, wtf? I think it got powderized by oxygen reacting with it and then stuck back to itself. The aluminium had a serious effect on the reaction, because by the end of it, the solution with NaOH was black and the aluminium was practically eaten up completely. What did the aluminium do? does anyone know what it might have done? because the solution is definitely not pure NaOH and NaCl. I also supersaturated my salt solution so much that powdered salt started forming on the top cover from water vapor lol, and the water was extremely hot by the end of the reaction.
This sounds rather confusing if I’m asked but il see what I got. The cabbage indicator becomes blue when it touches water. If it touches something basic it becomes green. What I’m guessing you got is an aluminum salt dissolved in water, likely aluminum hydroxide or carbonate or something similar floating around. The black must’ve been from the graphite giving it such a shade, and in a black solution it’s hard to see details. So that’s my best guess on it
@@ChemistryOnCreatine What I know for certain the graphite did not cause this, but yeah, the blue color confuses me. It should be acidic, yet its blue, yet I tried it on a rock and it dissolved it vigorously with bubbles forming, I used an organic rock with calcium in it. I poured (accidentally) some of it on my hand and my skin dried up but no burns, just dry as hell, indicating NaOH possibly contaminating the acid to make it neutral, yet it kept its ability to dissolve rocks?! Eitherway I got what I needed 😂 I wanted to dissolve some aluminium contaminants in another experiment using this acid, and it manages that nicely despite its neutral PH somehow, I don't understand lol. Edit: I forgot to add, that the black solution is highly basic, instant yellow using the indicator, and reacts strongly with citric acid, but it's Not NaOH only, it's definitely aluminium salts too, most likely aluminium chloride since I saw a white-ish powder forming in the shape of the aluminium cathode, (which wasn't NaCl since it's not water soluble, most likely aluminium chloride) I think the cotton I used might have let the 2 solutions react... A lot of aluminum *metal* was stuck to the cotton, for some reason, it was also coated in black powder which I think is some kind of aluminium-sodium hydroxide reaction.
Tbh idk what’s happening in the first part, maybe you got some chlorine gas dissolved in water or something? Did you try keeping it in the sunlight before testing it? Or leaving it sit for a few hours? The aluminum white powder thing I bet is aluminum hydroxide, the black powder sounds like graphite, meaning your membrane must’ve let something through or something similar, idk how a membrane behaves with as high current. Graphite as far as I know does break down slowly under current. Actually I think you made something called ‘sodium aluminate’ which occurs when reacting sodium hydroxide (or carbonate I forgot) and aluminum oxide. The reaction releases a lot of heat so that might explain iy
The air is 78% pure nitrogen so if it's possible to somehow remove the 21% of oxygen and 1% of other gases then you get pure nitrogen. Nitrogen also has a different boiling point than the other gases so if you get liquid nitrogen and turn it into gas again then that gas is pure nitrogen. I haven't tried this myself so I don't know how well it would work.
@@theroosterhimself5900 funny how you felt the need to tell the video creator he messed up with the acid dissolving glass when in fact you were full of baloney.

hahahahhahaha now i can finally make hydrochloric acid without sulfuric acid (and i could make soap with the sodium hydroxide)
That’s actually why I made my channel, too much people were posting far too impractical for me methods and I was confused at the start. So I figured others were as well and chose to begin making videos with more normal methods
On creatine? So you are basically a buff NileRed.
I mean I do like to workout
Amazing job well done how are you
Alive, the chlorine punched me in the nostrils, it felt like a punch on the inside. It was like 7 or 8x times more concentrated than a swimming pool. After inhaling it I could smell it for another few hours inside my nose. Yea never smell chlorine like that, but yea I’m fine
@@ChemistryOnCreatine but if you do chemistry were is your ppe like gloves goggles and respirator
Not to sound like a person who all ways tells people that but it is so very dangerous not to have that and if you want to keep making chemistry videos you will need them and it sounds like fun and a tip do it out side .
Sorry but i would like to see more of your videos
And please be careful.
I appreciate your concern and assure you I am being careful, I try to avoid spilling anything and checking if something is base by tasting it (it was a base, it was bitter) I will buy and use safety equipment when I am doing something a little more extreme, but for now I’d say with caution it’s fine, that chlorine coughing moment was from when I sniffed it directly
Boil the saltwater in order to be able to add more salt and make a super-saturated salt solution. Cool it down, and the extra salt should remain in solution. Some may drop out of solution; but, there should definitely be a marked increase in the solution's salt concentration
I thought that the standard potential of water to O2 was loyer than Cl- to Cl2
Somehow no, it’s really close but I’m pretty sure chlorine is slightly weaker
@@ChemistryOnCreatine i will believe you for now but its still kinda weird because when we do electrolysis of salted water it makes O2 and H2 which is provable by doing the inverse reaction and seeing that its still water
*Chlorine gas(cl2) not chloride gas(Cl-)
Hello fellow madman who smells things he shouldnt, I realize you are a fellow canadian
Hello as well fellow madman, what gave it away?
@@ChemistryOnCreatine we use the same vinegar
That of all things? That’s funny, I was expecting it to be my ‘Canadian’ accent (what a Canadian accent consists of idk)
@@ChemistryOnCreatine what area of Canada? I grew up in London Ontario
Around there roughly, but not too close, though more or less relatively close
I did this and used aluminium instead of expensive copper as a cathode
The solution is so basic I don't even know what I created
The PH indicator from cabbage became blue, when placed in the anodized cup, but deep deep yellow on the other side, I think I made the correct solution except I didn't put it in the sun for long enough...But I found it weird because cabbage indicator is red normally, but it changed to blue, meaning that the "chlorine" solution is Basic?!?!
what the hell???!
Also I used wall power to a 12v 10a power supply instead of a weak battery, the reaction was so fast that within an hour the whole HOUSE stinked of chlorine gas despite being covered, placed in a room where no one would be able to smell it, and in an environment with ventilation, yet somehow it made it to the whole house.
(I then moved it to the outside but this made things way harder).
And my graphite anodes grew larger in size, wtf? I think it got powderized by oxygen reacting with it and then stuck back to itself.
The aluminium had a serious effect on the reaction, because by the end of it, the solution with NaOH was black and the aluminium was practically eaten up completely.
What did the aluminium do? does anyone know what it might have done? because the solution is definitely not pure NaOH and NaCl.
I also supersaturated my salt solution so much that powdered salt started forming on the top cover from water vapor lol, and the water was extremely hot by the end of the reaction.
This sounds rather confusing if I’m asked but il see what I got. The cabbage indicator becomes blue when it touches water. If it touches something basic it becomes green. What I’m guessing you got is an aluminum salt dissolved in water, likely aluminum hydroxide or carbonate or something similar floating around. The black must’ve been from the graphite giving it such a shade, and in a black solution it’s hard to see details. So that’s my best guess on it
@@ChemistryOnCreatine What I know for certain the graphite did not cause this, but yeah, the blue color confuses me.
It should be acidic, yet its blue, yet I tried it on a rock and it dissolved it vigorously with bubbles forming, I used an organic rock with calcium in it.
I poured (accidentally) some of it on my hand and my skin dried up but no burns, just dry as hell, indicating NaOH possibly contaminating the acid to make it neutral, yet it kept its ability to dissolve rocks?!
Eitherway I got what I needed 😂
I wanted to dissolve some aluminium contaminants in another experiment using this acid, and it manages that nicely despite its neutral PH somehow, I don't understand lol.
Edit: I forgot to add, that the black solution is highly basic, instant yellow using the indicator, and reacts strongly with citric acid, but it's Not NaOH only, it's definitely aluminium salts too, most likely aluminium chloride since I saw a white-ish powder forming in the shape of the aluminium cathode, (which wasn't NaCl since it's not water soluble, most likely aluminium chloride) I think the cotton I used might have let the 2 solutions react...
A lot of aluminum *metal* was stuck to the cotton, for some reason, it was also coated in black powder which I think is some kind of aluminium-sodium hydroxide reaction.
Tbh idk what’s happening in the first part, maybe you got some chlorine gas dissolved in water or something? Did you try keeping it in the sunlight before testing it? Or leaving it sit for a few hours?
The aluminum white powder thing I bet is aluminum hydroxide, the black powder sounds like graphite, meaning your membrane must’ve let something through or something similar, idk how a membrane behaves with as high current. Graphite as far as I know does break down slowly under current. Actually I think you made something called ‘sodium aluminate’ which occurs when reacting sodium hydroxide (or carbonate I forgot) and aluminum oxide. The reaction releases a lot of heat so that might explain iy
You must learn how to smell chemicals via the wafting method. Less cough cough 😂
First off my sense of smell isn’t the best I think, plus it doesn’t stink too much
Second of all wafting is for weaklings
@@ChemistryOnCreatineif the thing going to be acrid or malodourous it's a good technique to avoid getting a chemical headache 😩
Nah il suffer lmao stupidity is my hobby😫
Sweet juicy chlorine
Bro, its not hydrochloric acid, its hypochlorous acid
You know I was starting to think that myself. However I am pretty confident hypochlorous acid decomposes into hcl and oxygen under a uv light
I used this method to make hydrogen
I need pure nitrogen, speak up, id like to know
The air is 78% pure nitrogen so if it's possible to somehow remove the 21% of oxygen and 1% of other gases then you get pure nitrogen. Nitrogen also has a different boiling point than the other gases so if you get liquid nitrogen and turn it into gas again then that gas is pure nitrogen. I haven't tried this myself so I don't know how well it would work.
It would definitely work but that’s a bit hard to do no?
I think it could be possible to buy liquid nitrogen on the internet.
Maybe. But at that point il just use another inert fluid
hello can you help me i am a chemistry student
Hah il try it but I’m not a chemistry genius just yet
You see I’m also a student
It's NOT chloride It's Chlorine gas
I noticed that when I was roughly halfway done they sound really similar but at the second half I began noticing and caught myself a few times
Dosen't chlorine gas react with water in your lungs to make hydrochloric acid? I guess that's one way to make it
the results not good product
Fume hood.
I’m building my chlorine gas immunity

Also hydrochloric acid dissolves glass but not plastic so the class cup you pored hcl into is useless throw it away
@theroosterhimself5900….sorry gameboy you are confused. HCL does not dissolve glass, but hydrofluoric acid will.
@@Dixler683 thank you reddit teacher I appreciate the fact that you decided to exit your room to bless me with your wisdom
@@theroosterhimself5900 don’t you feel stupid posting false / incorrect comments?
@@theroosterhimself5900 funny how you felt the need to tell the video creator he messed up with the acid dissolving glass when in fact you were full of baloney. When corrected you can’t admit your error, instead you melt into a puddle of hurt feeling snowflake goo. Back to mommy’s basement for you gameboy.
@@Dixler683 why should I feel stupid over a simple error an error is an error yes but it's a small one
LoL baking soda and Epsom salts end of clip.. its called elictrolisus
I have a new method for containing noxious gases, I will inform the SaranWrap people right away. But first, I will buy stock in said entity. Fishies in a barrel. Sometimes life is just too easy when you're as smart as I am.
Can I just take salt to boost my HCL
