GOLD REFINING PART 1: • Turning a BLOB into PU...
WEBSITE: moderngoldsmith.com
Huge thanks again to @NileRed and @sreetips for their helpful and informative chemistry and refining videos.
Video Description: In part 1, I was able to extract pure 24K gold from a blob. In this video, I deal with the silver chloride and attempt to convert it into pure silver.

Turning a blob into pure gold is pretty sweet. Turning the waste into pure silver? Now that's what I call a silver lining
hah. heh.
Damn
Just leaving my mark here before this gets famous

Seeing you handle silver with your bare hands assures me that you're not a werewolf. That's always nice to see in content creators
What's wrong with werewolves?
@@VestedUTuber One of them sold me a shitty timeshare. Should have known it was bad news when he said it was a "howl of a deal." Didn't even make sense.
How are werewolves created though? We only know he isn't one at the time of this video. He will need to keep handling the silver to keep us updated on his purity!

Everyone says "werewolf". Nobody asks "how wolf?"
@@VestedUTuber or "when wolf?" :)
my anxiety levels when he drank the juice 📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈
All the chemistry teachers are screaming at their screens
The Breaking Bad references were so unbelievably shameless that I can only respect it.
Yes
Why does he look like Walter white
HE IS WALTER WHITE💀
Ayyo
6:00 @Modern Goldsmith that isn't giving the reaction room to breathe. That is playing with your health and potentially your life. You are adding water to a concentrated base here which results in explosive heat generation. It is one of the basic rules of laboratory chemistry to never add water to concentrated acids and bases. You only ever do it the other way around. As A matter of fact: there have been explosions with several casualties in Frankfurt (Germany) because water was mixed to fast with concentrated sulfuric acid!
You gave me a literal heartstopper here!
Whaaaaaat
@@widyasantynatalia6005 dissolution of strong acids and basis is highly exothermic, that's why you pour the corrosive over the water so in case you got a splash of liquid in your hand it'll be of water with some minor concentration of the corrosive
The gold and silver videos were some of the best videos I've seen on RUclips in a long time. Thanks for taking the time to make them.
If you haven't, check out NileRed's gold from jewellery!
@@khoshekhthecat I will. Thanks
look up Sreetips on RUclips
try watching nilered

I've recently finished my chemistry graduation and I must say I truly love your videos, using chemistry as a tool to do your work is amazing and I wish I could do the same! As for the Glucose part, one possibility I thought is, since it is a solid, it doesn't get as much contact with your reactant, hence the slow reaction. When you use a Glucose solution though, the solvent makes the Glucose more available in the medium, speeding up the process, an interesting test would be to use a glucoese solution right away, maybe that way, the reaction would be less vigorous!
I think this is good way of looking at it. Similar reason as to way oil is used to cook solid foods.
This series was surprisingly relaxing to watch. Thanks for the great content.
Considering the last video had the "Forbidden Orange Juice" which was gold mixed with acid over ice (which I can only imagine being very corrosive and toxic), the fact that you toasted with Actual Orange Juice in a smiliar beaker over ice is both fitting.... and giving me horror flashes of you mixing the two up and having to be rushed to the hospital........ but great video!
Johnny was a chemist
but now he is no more
for what he thought was H2O
was H2SO4
@@HansLemurson nice
a toast with a beaker, as a chemist that scares me, I would NEVER
Bahahaha damn, I watched the last video and I dident even noticed until you explained it out for me in this video haha Damb!🎉

Aye
I'm grateful your so thankful, I'll stick around. You and sreetips my boys!
It’s impressive that you can say the names of the results and oder material’s I’ven not doing chimica class.
I did it and it’s still difficult to name dose names in 2 seconds.
RESPECT.
Love your contents😊continue like this
I literally just got finished watching your gold blob video and find you just posted the silver one. what timing
Same
Ye me too

This videos are a great example for the difference between learning by force (school) and learning by interest. I hated chemistry in school. And no teacher had the time, or took the time to explain their enthusiasm for this class. So, the only thing I learned in chemistry class was… it’s boring, you only need it if you want to become a chemistry teacher… and it maybe killing you.
Now I watch these videos, thinking: „Man THAT IS COOL!!!“
Thank you for showing a cool side of chemistry! ❤
chemistry is cool for those who like it..
i dont like electricity much more electronics.. but forced to study electricity for my off-grid house.
Like he said at the end of the video if you want to see more cool chemistry stuff definitely check out NileRed's channel it's got some cool stuff.
That's because school does everything backwards, trying to teach general knowledge with no specific context. Not to mention going for rote memorization instead of the way people actually learn - play.
@@XIIchiron78 general knowledge is very important but yeah learning through experimenting and learning more about all areas of a topic make it much more interesting, like in math imagine if they taught you the history of how these things were learned and by who, and how they came to their conclusions in the first place, learning how our predecessors learned to begin with!
Should check out Nile red then!
I love how the videos are nic and short and straight to the point with little excess talking or video!
What a fun journey you took us on. This was great. Thanks!
Loved all aspects of the video!The chemistry, the humor, the Walter White impression everything was on point.
These were so fun to watch! Cheers for sharing your experience and learning how fun and rewarding chemistry really is! Gorgeous pieces.
Its cool to see the goldsmith side of this. I watched nile red's video on his gold melting, so it was cool to see the other side of things too
Your video was excellent! I used to refine silver out of a sodium argentothiosulfate solution from my photography studio. Reminds me of my childhood! Keep up the good work and love that you are using the proper PPE for your videos.
Props on this series!
It’s clear you’ve put a lot of time, attention and research into the chemical processes for both the gold and silver.
I love your making videos, but this has been a super fun detour 😊
Great video! Sodium hydroxide and sugar is my go to method with AgCl.
That violent reaction you had was probably due to excess lye. A rule of lab safety is add concentrated acid(or lye in your case) to water but not the other way around. That said, great result!
Don't forget to test your stockpot 😁
I've not ever seen this with strong bases, but definitely with acids.
There's a saying my Chem teacher taught me... 'Do as you oughter, add acid to water!'
@David Barr Lol
Yep
In Poland almost everybody knows a saying "Pamiętaj chemiku młody, zawsze wlewaj kwas do wody" (they teach it in high school in all majors, so anyone attending high school has heard it) which roughly translates to "Young chemist, remember to always pour acid to water" - meaning you have water and slowly add acid to it when mixing them, not the other way around.
@@kleetus92 In french we say "Eau dans l'acide, un suicide, acide dans l'eau, tout est beau", which rhymes and translates to "Water in acid, a suicide, acid in water, everything is fine"
So essentially when you add NaOH into AgCl solution, you make HCl. But when you add water the reaction is highly exothermic and it boils like at 5:30.
I knew I KNEW Nile Red spirit was infused in both videos. So fun! Thank you for sharing!
0:51 bro was looking like walter white lol😂😂
Btw cool video

Such a freaking epic series!
I love rings but would LOVE to see any other kind of jewelry. Earrings, necklace, bracelet…tiara? I cant wait to see what you end uo making!
Nilered actually made me watch this video (both this and the first part), chemistry is really interesting!
Turning wasabi lettuce into silver, alchemy! Really interesting to watch alongside the gold blob. Bravo
Wasabi lettuce💀
I love your video's and am a big fan of NileRed and Sreetips channels as well. Thanks!
I really appreciate that you made two parts!
Enjoy your narration and film shooting style / edits. Good stuff.
Fascinating video. Im going to watch your gold blob video right now. Do you have any videos on platinum?
That's so cool to see the refinement process, makes me want to learn chemistry
0:45 science yes
So glad the algorithm suggested this, amazing work!! Ur a wizard essentially.
Cheers to giving credit to Sreetips and NileRed! . This series was surprisingly relaxing to watch. Thanks for the great content..
Hey,
if you want to dillute an acid, add it into water and not the other way around. For most acids the dillution process is exothermic (=releasing energy in the form of heat) as far as I know. So the little water getting added immediately boils & reacts like in your video (or worse).
my high school chemistry teacher said that we need to learn/remember just one thing: 'never take a piss into acid'
Acid to water, the way you oughta.
This was NaOH (base) though, but the same principle applies.
and this applies to *all* acids and bases
The saying is "Do like you oughta, add acid to water", in a Boston accent, of course.
@@8bitwiz_ That one flows a lot better.
i've loved all your videos so far, but these last two were so unique and interesting, i am amazed by your talent!!! you are such an interesting and creative person :) also the editing skills are on point, it all feels so natural. Big fan from France
Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching!
0:40 Breaking bad from wish
this is the only time that Ive stopped the video just to like and subscribe lmao this content is awesome!
this was another awesome video! I'm not a chemist either, but I sure loved watching the process! Thanks for the chemistry lesson! It's probably not enough to make a money clip, but that would be a good use for it!
I was thinking with the silver and gold you could potentially make really REALLY cool rings or pendants based off of the shape of their atoms? Maybe use notching or something to create the electron pattern? I just think you could really come up with something unusual and very modern but also as a commemoration for your first foray into the chemistry of producing gold and silver from ore/melted blobs of varying metals!
These videos are definetly my favorite!
thank you for making these videos love your videos
Fascinating video! If you ever go through the process again, you should totally try to make precious metal clay. It's exactly this powdery form they use to make it, mixed with an organic binder.

You could use it for some kind of family jewelry. Maybe a small pendent for everyone?! I kind of like the idea of using it for a sentimental piece (or pieces) :)
I agree. I would love to see gold and silver in the same peice.

@@aaravshrestha9559r/youngpeopleyoutube
hands down one of my new fav youtubers
Loved both video's hope to see much more chemistry from you...😮😮😮
4:38 "cordless drill" also the cord in the background
Thats for the lights
if you look at 4:55, you can tell that that cord is for the light
good job with the blobs
Love your videos, would definitely be keen on one of the study classes. I’ll need to check your website out.
Nice reference! Sreetips is goated!
5:37 The liquid was saturated with silver oxide, so the sugar had "no room" to react.
when he added more water, it became less saturated, so the sugar could mix in and disolve
@5:45, your solution was too concentrated to allow the reaction to proceed - adding water thinned it out enough the reaction continued briefly.
Ngl the gold video was the first video of yours I’ve seen and this is the second, and that breaking bad bit made me like and subscribe
You got +1 subscribers. You deserve way more from the hard work
As a Chemist, drinking from the beaker just sends shivers down my spine...
Don't ever visit Lunchbox Laboratory then
same
It's really cool to see the beginning to the end of this process.
This video is really good keep up the work❤
@1:23 mhhh, the forbidden wasabi
5:10 a spoon full of sugar helps the silver go down, the silver go down.
The music used when heating the powder is so relaxing!
I’ve recently have been experimenting with this urban mining thing . However I’m not as a good chemist as you in fact I failed chem in high school . Your technique and procedures are great and more accurate. But as this is only a hobby for me I like the burning method which is good enough for me. Watching these videos motivates people to do better so thanks . Your narration is simple to understand sometimes funny . Good job . Keep going

The forbidden avocado smoothie
(Edit: is it a forbidden mocha milkshake?)
Could you do a video in which you collect all the dust and dirt from your shop and look how much precious metal or even stones are in it?
He did! ruclips.net/video/eYo-T3Q_2lU/видео.html
Older video, but i find it fascinating. Awesome shoutout to nile red. Watch a lot of his vids
Very interesting to see this and your last one where you created the disk of gold. I'd love to see the process where either of these were made into jewelry.
I clicked on you gold video thinking it was a NileRed video, however I wasn't disappointed and the journey was great.
Great to listen too aswell (although the hard breaks in music are a bit uncomfortable), soft voice, good audio.
I'm going to check out some of your smithing now.
One big problem:
As someone who takes safety in the lab very serious (I burned my nostrils once by smelling acid full on) I can't agree with someone drinking out of a beaker or any chemistry glassware, doesn't sit right with me, really bothers me, even as a very well meant transparent joke.
But keep on with the rest, and good luck.
This is now a chemistry channel
No, there are many poor practices here - no professional chemist would devise and execute the procedure this way.
@@Cvetocek1 r/woooooooosh
The bit with the allen key in the drill was so intense! Waiting for the smash!
I don’t know why this shows up in my recommended video’s, but it’s just satisfying to watch this
You completely earned the sub from me for that Walter White bit! I COMPLETELY did NOT expect that and it was hilarious XD
1:14 forbidden avocado
forbidden play dough
@@CubingBones yes
impressive from start to finish !!
That was interesting! I like your Style, Great job.
25 grams of silver? The standard weight of a silver coin is about 28 grams, so maybe you could make a custom silver coin? Maybe with some gold inlay? Just a thought.
1 Oz Troy ounce or 31.10 grams is the standard weight.
bros in walter white’s RV 💀
what a genius channel idea, this content is awesome
Well explained 👏 👌 I love this!
9:19 I'm surprised that the torch doesn't blow the powdered silver out of the crucible ?
🤔
too heavy probably
Did you get in trouble drinking orange juice from a beaker in a yellow suit? 😆
Pure and solid information similar as your refining results!
This taught me more about chemistry than two semesters of college. Thank you 😊
technically speaking most of this video is chemically not-correct. Simpler, but wrong. (for example the "neutralization" by diluition, the choice of the acid for the paper, the use of sugar, the methods.
0:01 why was the breaking bad theme just sneaking in.
Bro it tuned to german 2:34
🙋🏻♂️
For washing steps you can use a separatory funnel to reduce the number of washing steps, make it easier to separate layers and prevent the loss of any silver
Another awesome video!
Do the copper!
10:40 When you are drinking some orange juice but you remembered that you've left the meth in the oven
I was always taught and I alwyas taught that you should NEVER drink from any glassware (beakers included) that come from a lab or are for lab use. Safety first, then a "drinking" glass of OJ! Excellent job, I found you calm voice over came my "hurry up" want to see the gold and silver. My patience was rewarded at the end of your videos. FInally, it "goes to show" that you should never throw rocks away unless you are certain that there isn't treasure in each one!
a fresh prospective is just what we needed many thanks
Wow! I wish you could turn my blob of a marriage into something valuable!!
THIS is how you teach chemistry to a young impressionable audience. Numbers and letters cannot compare to hands-on demonstrations and an actual payoff at the end!
Good job, Silversmith
Nice video turning waste into silver 👍 👍 All that bubbling and hear when you added the water was it's exothermic reaction with the excess sodium hydroxide.
Turning a blob into pure gold video: "I'm not a chemist and this is the first time i'm experimenting with gold."
Turning a blob into pure silver video: *"Jesse, Jesse we must cook."*
Hahahaha true
This guy is the absolute definition of unwasteful. Didn't even forget about the junk leftover from the gold refining process that a regular person, maybe even a chemist, wouldn't even give an eyebrow raise to and getting ample returns in silver for it? Now that's what I call dedication that paid off!
Also, the editing quality seems to have not even slightly decreased from the amazing previous video, I'd even call it better! Amazing job with this :>
I wouldn't be so sure that it paid off, if he didn't have a RUclips channel.
The silver he recovered is worth ~19$.
Subtracting his chemicals, and the work he did, I bet it's not much left, if at all.
I like this dude, good sense of humor.
you should do a video on the proper method of disposing of all the used acids and chemicals
1:09 No kidding, for a secondI thought this was cabbage...
What is wrong with me ?
Ikr!!
