Have you tried distilling sulfuric and potassium nitrate to make it? Much better yield. Add water to get aziotropic, just conc. sulfuric to get 90+%. Really only useful if you need a decent amount though.
If this were to be done in cold weather, the water, salts and copper freezes right away. Since HCl doesn't usually freeze, could you pour it in and continue on? Or would you have to add some sort of heat source to keep it from freezing? The nitrate salts I'm referring to is potassium nitrate, not ammonium.
Gosh, I am dumb. Basically I was really unpatient and when I was doing the reaction it didn’t do anything and I told myself that my acid isn’t concentrated enough. So I went through azeotropic distillation of HCl and also bought KNO3 from a new source and it still didn’t work. All i had to do was wait. Dumb.
The irony is that the solution you made for producing the gas using KNO3 HCl Produces the same solution of aquaregia process .. So why do you need Nitric acid ?
I smelt with lead, then remove the lead by cupel. Left with a mixed metal button. End result need the gold. I need to remove other metals first, then AR for the gold.Any idea's on how? Thank's
@@SoSo-li6dn over 40% There is no equipment to measure used acid that has been long gone for refining. It served its purpose but every setup will produce different results
Why did the acid start to go through the tube? If the majority of the contents of the flask had poured out onto the cement through the pipette, what would you have done then? Start over completely or just set up a new flask and pipette to the current contents of the cylinder? If so, would this affect the strength of the resulting Nitric? Also, with a small spill like that, how do you dispose of the blue baking soda blob?
Sarah Lebron The acid that spilled was contaminated with hydrochloric. The nitrogen dioxide gas produced is what makes the nitric acid by the gas dissolving in the hydrogen peroxide. The spilled acid was neutralized by the sodium bicarbonate so it was simply washed away
Basshead Curry So, hypothetically, if the baking soda was not nearby, would the spill on the cement be emitting that toxic gas the whole time until someone returned to neutralize it? Because there had to be a period of time that passed while the pipette was being held and fumes were being emitted. It didn't sound like a respirator was being used so how dangerous is that?
Sarah Lebron just stay upwind of it and work with small amounts. The amount of gas produced in a few second time frame (while outside) is not much more dangerous than working with an open container of nitric alone. The acid on the concrete will inevitably neutralize itself due to the basic makeup of the concrete alone. Though, it is best cleaned up right away, so that it does not leave a mark on the concrete.
i tried making nitric acid, without a heat source and i couldn't get the solution to react, what am i doing wrong, did it really take 30 minutes to see fumes.
Thank you, for your positive remark. Please, tell me you have never made a mistake in your life. There is something called a learning curve. I also treated the threat, and had preparations set for potential accidents. Thank you ma'am.

Wasn't talking to you In particular. I was referring to people with no experience. awesome video. Thanks for the info.
Man thanks for the knowledge that was super simple and I had. everything I needed already
Glad to hear that, and glad that it helps!

this method can refine silver to make nitrate silver?
Nitric acid does indeed dissolve silver
The irony is that the solution you made for producing the gas using KNO3 HCl
Produces the same solution of aquaregia process .. So why do you need Nitric acid ?
Whoa! THANKS BUD!!!
Lol this was so me and the I just bought nitric acid 🤣
tnx.nice video clip

Watch owltech
Sreetips.
how much percentage and can it be used for gold recovery
Read the title
@@BassheadCurry what % conc?
@@SoSo-li6dn over 40%
There is no equipment to measure used acid that has been long gone for refining. It served its purpose but every setup will produce different results
@@BassheadCurry the fumes are toxic are they not?
lol titrate the hcl and set up a suck back trap like if you were distilling. Or at least get a longer tube and bigger flask

@@BassheadCurry could one boil off the peroxide ?
@@tinsoffish1810 From this point, you could use fractional distillation to further refine the nitric acid.
does the pipette have to be glass or any particular size?
Matthew Fullum Yes it needs to be glass. No particular size.
i tried making nitric acid, without a heat source and i couldn't get the solution to react, what am i doing wrong, did it really take 30 minutes to see fumes.
TV Tech
It can be delayed. It's common. It took a good while before the ration started in this video.
so you didn't use a heat source to get the reaction going.
TV Tech
No
is it best to use tap water or distilled water to dissolve the potassium nitrate.
try 400 ml of bleach a 400ml of hci but put hci in slowly then switch to hci and stumpremover or aqua whatever you have
Good
Nice
Veri.good
hold up there chief, you said HYdro Acid, you were using Muriatic acid.
Muriaric is dilute hydrochloric acid 31-32%
Wayne Gary, they are basically the same thing.
They’re the same thing
