Okay yeah try to ignore the unbalanced equation at 2:04. Sorry lol. Also, Scrap Science now has a Discord server! You should join us and chat about electrochemistry and projects here: discord.gg/m76mHpvdGW
I mean, don’t get your hopes too high I guess. I’ll be covering the generation of perchlorate with a rather odd setup. Starting with potassium chlorate is infeasible electrolytically due to the low solubility of the salt.
@@ScrapScience ive tried electrolyzing nacl with mmo anode and then after some time switch over to platinum but after 2 days my mmo anode lost its coating and is white like titanium dioxide i guess the cyanide ions from ferrocyanide( anti caking) broke it. This doesnt happen to me with kcl electrolysis never even hot damagef
Harry is back! Great video. BTW , my grandfather's name was Henry but he went by Harry, and my son's name is Henry as well but he's only 4 so he may decide to go by Harry when he's older. Great video as always!
I’ve seen many dissolving stuffs with hydrochloric acid but no one ever did with hydrobromic acid, so if you try I’ll looking forward to seeing that video
*Electrolysis in a separated cell would create a 50% half reaction leachent with much less work. I'd use Titanium electrodes with an Iridium Oxide coating over Platinum electro plated type. That should be tough enough for 8000 hours of use making a powerful Per-Bromic acid leachent.*
I just read that paper recently. They only got tiny beads of metal on the cathode, with 1 square centimeter platinum electrodes. I suppose if you scale it up substantially you could get usable amounts. Electrolysis of alkali metals at room temperature is a tantalizing prospect!
why use fractional? why not just a short path distillation setup with a hard limit of 101c? when it stops coming over wouldnt what remained be your hbr?
Distillation doesn't quite work like that. The boiling point of pure water is 100 C, but when we have something like hydrobromic acid in solution (at non-azeotropic concentration), you get a higher boiling point, and the vapour contains a mixture of the two components that is only slightly enriched in water. Fractional distillation allows for what is effectively a series of boiling and condensing steps moving up the column, continually enriching the lower boiling component.

For horizontal-ish condensers: use counterflow! So the cold water from the pump goes in the far inlet of your condenser
Neat! I'm one of those people who absolutely won't figure out what you're going to do with the acid. 😁 I liked the music.
Can you try making kclo4 from kclo3?
Keep an eye on my channel in about two months' time :)
@ScrapScience nice i like that

@@ScrapScience I guess that sodium will be the way to go
Ahh, the H+ go Brrrrr-!
Nice! Keep up the good work.
Thanks a lot! I am curious about the system you have set up for using a water source to cool the system. Could you please make a video to explain it?
It's just a bucket of water with a pump in it that leads to the container. I'll try to remember to mention it next time I do a distillation.

You're the scrappy electrolysis expert, why not perform an electrolysis and bubble the gasses into water? Great video as always!
brazil here, great video

@@ScrapScience *Sigh,,,*
what temperature were u distilling over the acid at?
120-124 C
Are Nafion-117 membranes good for electrolysis of ammonium sulphate to produce ammonia and sulfuric acid?
Comment for the algorithm
Have you ever thought about making alkali metals from their salts using electrolysis with propylene carbonate as the solvent?
I just read that paper recently. They only got tiny beads of metal on the cathode, with 1 square centimeter platinum electrodes. I suppose if you scale it up substantially you could get usable amounts. Electrolysis of alkali metals at room temperature is a tantalizing prospect!
I have, yes. I'm not convinced that it's as easy as people claim. I'm still thinking about how to make or obtain propylene carbonate to try it out.
Mmmm considering you have a boron doped diamond electrode i'd bet on maybe making perbromates ? 🤔

He said his acid is contaminated, distilling once again purifies it

@@zenongranatnik8370 dont mind me. these are not critiques, these are genuine efforts to alleviate my massive ignorance heh
Merci beaucoup je connaissais pas cette acide par contre tu as dit acides bronique deux Foix avec le contenants naturel et l'acide en question 😮
