      It is some what of a running gag that I am trying to work into my videos, the rabbit will always be a different color and will be increasingly hard to find in the background. Might be a dumb idea but it sure gives people something to comment on.

      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.

      that's only for sulfuric acid as it might splash violence otherwise, other acids it really doesn't matter

    • @KushagraJuneja
      @KushagraJuneja 8 лет назад +11

      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.

    Are you sure that acid is 95%, I thought it formed an azeotrope with water?

    • @billsmathers7787
      @billsmathers7787 8 лет назад +3

      +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.

    • @theCodyReeder
      @theCodyReeder  8 лет назад +8

      +Bill Smathers
      The sulfuric then takes all the water out of the nitric.

    • @billsmathers7787
      @billsmathers7787 8 лет назад +5

      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.

      Ghorda9 because during the day the angle at which sunlight passed through our atmosphere , blocks most wavelengths of light except for blue, thus the sky to humans looks blue, the sky can also vary in hue and colour dependent on time of day and atmospheric conditions such as humidity, sometimes resulting in a red or pink colour

    • @MmeHyraelle
      @MmeHyraelle 6 лет назад +3

      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.

    • @ChemistryMadness
      @ChemistryMadness 6 лет назад

      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...

    • @SpydersByte

    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.

    Cody, wouldn't you get a significantly better yield of nitric acid if you used an actual distillation device? At 2:51

    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.
