Cody'sLab is it so real rabbit or did you chemically make it? It's easy to make rabbits ya know, you need Rab² and Bit⁴ to make a rabbit. Stay away from ha¹³ and re²¹ they make feisty lil things.

Hi Cody, I never took chemistry in school but if I had you for a teacher I most definitely would have. You make everything fun and exciting to watch your experiments. Take care, Paul
your hopes are dead, because he isn't doing this kind of videos anymore, it was funny , but now, the channel is dead and he just keep posting videos because he don't want to lose his 9 year work and deceive people. I'm just watching his old videos to remember how he was great.
You should make more videos on taking resources from the land and refining or using them to create things. It's very fascinating. I love your channel, keep up the good work!
Cody: You Rock! I LOVE your videos and often find myself referring to your videos in my hunt to find gold. Than you for sharing your knowledge and insight. They've been an essential part of my prospecting ventures. Hopefully I'll be able to find enough gold to get me on my feet and reunite me with my beloved son.

How about extracting lead from crystal glassware. Was always curious on how much lead is actually used in crystal glassware and the different percentages of lead in the crystal as well.
love the retort!! first and only video I found where someone uses a retort. I have a huge 8liter pyrex retort from the 1940s I want to use some day in my lab.
Amazing how quickly everything "springs back to life" after being one of the south west's coldest snaps in some time.. Time flies I suppose being the beginning of May. Nice Fiji water bottles by the way. Onward to 1 M subs. Mmm perhaps sir as the Fiji bottles give way to Grey Poupon bottles the ultimate in water vessels, the fine cut Crystal bottle maybe pouring the water soon? Just kidding and congrats on the major win here. Props are well deserved with someone so smart and well rounded. Excellent channel, sounds and video.
I really don't know of that many Utah based RUclipsrs. Thanks for posting these videos! I have almost no idea what's going on, but you still manage to make these entertaining enough for someone who doesn't know the difference between acids or even what a "Base" is. Hopefully as I watch more and more I will learn these things!
One of the beauties, in my opinion, of chemistry is that it can be such a colorful science. I really hope all goes well with school so i can actually find a career pertaining to it
Man I'm always hyped when I see a Cody video in my subbox... I don't understand anything about the science in those videos but it's still so satisfying to watch *-*
Cody's introduction always reminds me of myth busters and it made me think, Cody could have been a myth buster!! Him, Adam, and Jamie would have been unstoppable
Cody, why did you chose to add the water to the acid at 2:10, I've always been taught to add acid to water when diluting? I always figured this was for safety reasons, so do you just have to pour slowly?
It's not just due to splashing. Diluting concentrated acids produces a really large amount of heat as well which may cause the glass article to shatter due to rapid heating and cooling. When you add small amount of water to a large amount of acid, all of the acid starts creating heat due to dilution while if you do the reverse, the water dissipates the heat the acid creates thus making it overall safer.
People do stuff like this in their back yard in my neighborhood too, but all they ever end up making is rock salt. They seem to have a very bad sinus congestion problem too.
i am planing to make some nitric acid like this once i find new source of KNO3 (which is impossible last 2-3 years here :( ) so i want to ask is there any easy way to remove the NO2 from the result? is it enough to let it sit on open air for some time?
***** thanks for the suggestion, but here our gardening stores have only fertilizers and if I find KNO3 it will be as fertilizer (noone even knows about stump removers here), and i would need to even recognize it my self somehow because they dont even know what they are selling, its all fertilizer for the gardening store sellers here... they all sell NH4NO3 (nitrogen fertilizer as they are calling it) but noone sells KNO3...
+Ron Hombre RUclips is pretty slow with these things. If I recall, there have been some youtubers who get the next play button up BEFORE they got the silver one.
The geology department at my university was throwing away a bunch of geological survey reports and maps from 1918 - 1960s, I grabbed them in case you'd be interested in them. I had sent you an email about the a while back, but I hadn't heard back so I didn't know if it got through. Thanks for making the great videos, I look forward to seeing them as they come out. Keep up the good work!
+Jellyf0x The sulfuric acid azeotrope with water forms at 98.3% acid. This fumes quite badly in air though, so most commercially bought acid (including some types of drain cleaner sulfuric acid) come at concentrations between 91 and 95% acid. Sulfuric acid can in fact be brought above 98.3% concentration, but it cannot be done by distillation. Instead, sulfur trioxide gas is passed through the acid to strengthen-- this reacts with any remaning water to produce more sulfuric acid, and eventually it will react with sulfuric acid itself, forming oleum.
Oh my mistake, I thought you meant the sulfuric acid. For nitric acid, it does form an azeotrope with water at around 68% nitric acid, but there's so little water in the system that it simply can't distill off as the azeotrope-- there's nowhere for the water to come from. Also Cody, there's a much better way to produce concentrated nitric acid than using KNO3, if all you're looking for is ~70% concentration. Just use some cheap drain-cleaner grade sulfuric acid (titrate it or use a hydrometer to calculate its water concentration), dilute with a stoichiometric amount of water, and add calcium nitrate. This causes calcium sulfate to immediately precipitate below a much more water layer of acids, and the nitric acid can then be easily distilled off. This is a better method than the method with KNO3 as while the calcium nitrate route produces effectively innocuous calcium sulfate powder as a byproduct, potassium nitrate produces strongly acidic potassium bisulfate. This is much less environmentally friendly, and plus it's just a waste of perfectly good sulfuric acid. Also, the potassium bisulfate formed tends to cake -- this inhibits heat transfer throughout the flask and causes the nitrates to decompose to nitrogen oxides. The calcium nitrate method, when well-run, can produce water-clear azeotropic nitric acid.
Right on man, hope you had fun. Seemed like a bit of an ordeal to get it all processed, but I'm glad you worked it all out. The next time I sweep a bunch of something valuable off the shop floor, I'll let you know!

Everyone sees colour a little differently, green/blue is a fairly common form of colourblindness. It should look green to most folks, but a lot of folks will think it's a blue bunny.
I worked in a gold/silver refinery over three decades ago but they turned silver coils, silverware extra into silver crystal then melted that down. They also cut up x-rays by the hundreds of tons then soaked them in a cyanide solution and ran that into a plating system.
It does not matter much. Both way would do the same exothermic reaction, making heat. The best way to think of this is : Pour the smallest of both into the largest of them. If you use more acid than water, then you add the water after and vice versa.
sry but ive never heard such bs. the drop acid you pour onto water is instantly diluted, and because of the high heat capacity of water it wont spill if done correctly. if you do it the other way around the water could get evaporated and spill hot conc. acid everywhere. so its really a preference what u like more on your skin, hot concentrated acid or diluted acid...
ChemistryMadness watch Cody's own videos about adding water to acid for proof against what you are claiming. He even stated that in this video or the previous one.
+Dj Ruccy they don't belong in jail for choosing to take drugs and possibly hurt their body. Their body their choice.The arrogance of dictating what people can and cannot do even though it doesn't hurt anyone else is astounding.
Cody... Can you just make a video on making Nitric Acid using your Retort.. I have a 1000ml Retort and not sure of the exact amount of Nitrat to Sulfuric Acid to mix.. Thank you !!!!
There is a video from Nile red showing how you can make nitric acid and the exact mix the video is "how to make fuming nitric acid" it's really good quality
Looks like at 3:04 you got a little of the sulphuric acid/nitrate mix froth into the neck of the retort and into the nitric, or did you catch it in time? It would not be desirable because it would cause a silver sulphate precipitate to form. In fact, one of the large jars with the blue solutions at 4:44 looks like it has a milky white precipitate in it.
Hi Cody! Firstly, you rock. And it's funny my chemistry teacher just warned us today about adding water into an acid, rather than the other way around :p
Cody, wouldn't you get a significantly better yield of nitric acid if you used an actual distillation device? At 2:51 I can see a lot of red fumes coming off. Won't the retort heat up and become very inefficient at condensing the nitric acid?
Just did my first batch (ram sticks in AP), was over x100 pieces. I ended up with 1 gram of gold exactly. I think i lost some using a MAP gas torch to cast it into a bead... and my crucible had silver pieces stuck all over it, and the borax got all pitted and bubbly when i was torching it... probably because i was torching the foils inside the coffee filter so there was a lot of junk in there and smoke coming off.
3:38 Cody! What did you do to that bunny?

it makes no difference, that rule is BS
Well it is a rule for new chem students so they don't get splash back. Chemists who know what they are doing can pick for themselves.
that's only for sulfuric acid as it might splash violence otherwise, other acids it really doesn't matter
It's not just due to splashing. Diluting concentrated acids produces a really large amount of heat as well which may cause the glass article to shatter due to rapid heating and cooling. When you add small amount of water to a large amount of acid, all of the acid starts creating heat due to dilution while if you do the reverse, the water dissipates the heat the acid creates thus making it overall safer.

sry but ive never heard such bs. the drop acid you pour onto water is instantly diluted, and because of the high heat capacity of water it wont spill if done correctly. if you do it the other way around the water could get evaporated and spill hot conc. acid everywhere. so its really a preference what u like more on your skin, hot concentrated acid or diluted acid...
ChemistryMadness watch Cody's own videos about adding water to acid for proof against what you are claiming. He even stated that in this video or the previous one.
A RETORT!!!! That's it you're a proper ALCHEMIST now! ;) Keep up The Great Work
Acid In Water ;)
I really liked the timelaps in the first few mins man, good content mang :D
I thought you were gonna make acid, like the street acid... LSD...
+Science Smash Please do this eventually. You should work on the dark room now so you can get the ergot growing as soon as possible.

Fun fact: street acid isn't usually acid. It's mostly research chems

+Dj Ruccy they don't belong in jail for choosing to take drugs and possibly hurt their body. Their body their choice.The arrogance of dictating what people can and cannot do even though it doesn't hurt anyone else is astounding.
I refreshed my sub box 1000 times until he uploaded
Bunnys aren't blue.
Love learning this stuff from Cody
Cody...
Can you just make a video on making Nitric Acid using your Retort..
I have a 1000ml Retort and not sure of the exact amount of Nitrat to Sulfuric Acid to mix..
Thank you !!!!
There is a video from Nile red showing how you can make nitric acid and the exact mix the video is "how to make fuming nitric acid" it's really good quality
everything was looking so shiny and new then the headlight ROFL you're the best dude.😂
Use fertiliser to grow weed get high then make videos wile high.
That is the most sweet, and cool DIY sort of heatmantle, love it :D
Looks like at 3:04 you got a little of the sulphuric acid/nitrate mix froth into the neck of the retort and into the nitric, or did you catch it in time? It would not be desirable because it would cause a silver sulphate precipitate to form. In fact, one of the large jars with the blue solutions at 4:44 looks like it has a milky white precipitate in it.

I caught most of it but yes a little did get through.
Hi Cody! Firstly, you rock. And it's funny my chemistry teacher just warned us today about adding water into an acid, rather than the other way around :p
Cody, wouldn't you get a significantly better yield of nitric acid if you used an actual distillation device? At 2:51
I can see a lot of red fumes coming off. Won't the retort heat up and become very inefficient at condensing the nitric acid?
+Les Mack
I lost a little yes but I sort of wanted to use the retort. ;)
+Cody'sLab Now show us how to transmute base metals into gold :D
Cooking with Cody, unhealthy since... he started using his kitchen as a science lab :D
Who are those 5 people who disliked this awesome video? Probably people who don't know how to do wicked science
Loving this series!
I've been watching you for too long. I did the same little giggle thing when you said retort
Just did my first batch (ram sticks in AP), was over x100 pieces. I ended up with 1 gram of gold exactly. I think i lost some using a MAP gas torch to cast it into a bead... and my crucible had silver pieces stuck all over it, and the borax got all pitted and bubbly when i was torching it... probably because i was torching the foils inside the coffee filter so there was a lot of junk in there and smoke coming off.
