Isolating Cesium Metal

Cody'sLab - 2016-12-16

I react caesium chloride with lithium metal to produce  caesium for less than a dollar a gram. Which is good because I have some projects planned that requires quite a lot of ceasium.

You didn't say "Welcome back to Cody's Lab", I feel confused and scared. Who owns this lab? Where is Cody? What is life?

Liam Davidson - 2016-12-16

This is iDubbbz lab now. He killed Cody and took control of it.

What if instead of gold I made a cesium play button? it would look similar... probably have to keep it in glass though.

John Doherty - 2017-07-09

what's the purity of this ceasium?

SurvivetheSurvival - 2017-11-10

Cody'sLab hey Cody! If you can, please do a video on that crucible you used with the tube on top, I'm guessing it's homemade and I'm trying grow my element collection and this is definitely something I could do to be able to add cesium! It would be greatly appreciated!

TΛZΞR - 2018-01-24

Where is that video with cesium button? I can't find it.

Conner Nelson - 2018-12-02

Then you did!! (I'm from the future)

MDavH 25 - 2019-04-24

You could've sealed it with nitrogen, group 1 nitrides are unstable (except lithium due to its large charge density) so all but lithium can be stored under nitrogen.

Zex Maxwell - 2016-12-16

knate44 - 2016-12-16

Cesium is best element. 10/10 would react again.

kenny - 2016-12-16

knate44 Francium is the best element

Kodi the Mad Kat ,King of Insane Kittens - 2016-12-16

kenny
wrong!!!!! Tritium is best element ...😎😎😎😎
(if you didn't know Tritium is the 3rd isotope of Hydrogen and it also radioactive)

Vapaa Sana - 2016-12-16

Rubidium fucks Cesium's mom.

kenny - 2016-12-29

@***** tritium is still an element if it's an isotope of hydrogen

Rahat - 2018-03-29

Darkflow 420 if it's just an isotope it's not an element on its own it's hydrogen

It's a scandal that this channel is so pedagogically interesting and scientifically rigorous yet has one tenth the subscribers and viewers of the "let's pour silicone on this pokeball" and "let's blow up this watermelon with tannerite" channels.

Cheong Ziyong - 2016-12-16

10mintwo Not really, as the common person values entertainment far more than education

Zack Peterson - 2016-12-18

How is it a scandal? People like what they like. Not everyone is interested in the chemistry behind it. I don't see any foul play here.

Alex Potts - 2018-01-27

This view is based on a fallacious assumption that the total audience for chemistry videos on Youtube is a fixed size, and therefore "stuff blowing up" creators are swallowing up Cody's market share.

This is complete bollocks. People who just want to watch explosions can just watch explosions. If you took those channels away, they would not suddenly all flock to more hardcore chemistry content.

The existence of a great variety of channels is clearly good for us, the viewers - and there are many ways in which they are good for creators too.

Patrick Logsdon - 2018-03-14

10mintwo yea.. it's sad. This is such a cool channel.

Reioni - 2019-10-12

People don’t really understand the chemistry behind this channel. The average youtube idiot thinks chemistry is putting pop rocks in soda. It’s too much to expect for them to actually watch video with actually informative content.

Sam - 2016-12-16

3:05 what is this? a nuke for ants?

NightHawkInLight - 2016-12-17

Wow! What a great yield as well. I'm impressed.

Try do it on Your Channel

Scrotie McBoogerball - 2016-12-16

So you aren't going to try to chew Cesium?

Scrotie McBoogerball - 2016-12-16

@212superdude212 don't have any.

212superdude212 - 2016-12-17

@Scrotie McBoogerball make some, wouldn't be too hard

Scrotie McBoogerball - 2016-12-17

@212superdude212 Nah, I trust Cody.

Unknown Agent - 2016-12-31

Scrotie McBoogerball so you want an explosion going in innocent Cody's mouth .?!

Scrotie McBoogerball - 2017-01-08

@noodle Awww that's sweet! Thank you!

Gmrads - 2016-12-16

Cody inspires me. And plus it's cool learning about science

Augustus Caesar - 2016-12-16

Gmrads ikr

Gmanmovies09 - 2016-12-16

I like how his approach is 'Let's learn together' rather than most 'Let me teach you'.

Erik Childress - 2016-12-16

I like how its basically a pipe bomb he is making

Gmrads - 2016-12-16

Erik Childress pipe bombs are a lot different than puttin lithium and other elements in a pipe and heating them

Nocturnal Pyro - 2016-12-16

Gmrads there is a reason he is aproaching 1 million subs

Mexie Mex - 2016-12-19

Looks like you've got a new "will it flush?" project LOL

Devon Conners - 2016-12-16

Cody is like a magnet for anybody who knows what the periodic table is

girrrrrrr2 - 2016-12-16

Thats the outdoor tables you eat at, that have the holes in them that look like periods right?

Shamu - 2016-12-17

Devon Conners 😂😂😂 So true...

felixthemaster1 - 2016-12-31

Everyone and their grandmother knows what a periodic table is, lmao.

KusKusPL - 2017-01-10

Shane K - 2016-12-16

If you put cinnabar in the same contraption, would Mercury come out?

Cody'sLab - 2016-12-16

yes

hey7328 - 2016-12-16

he did it in his "mining mercury" video

Peter Rabitt - 2016-12-16

Esberk - 2016-12-16

Samuel Petrina sexy molecule my dude

Dots - 2016-12-16

Shane K if you crushed up the cinnabar first. Yes.

Cody'sLab - Well if you wanted people to watch every day I'm literally studying just sitting there refreshing my subscribed feed waiting for the daily upload. XD

Austin - 2016-12-17

Damn I've literally watched all of his videos but I never remember to press the like button. Makes me want to go back and like all the videos to help out lol.

HopMan3000 - 2017-01-03

ikr exact same here

HopMan3000 - 2017-01-03

anyone else

S3V3N13TT3R5 - 2016-12-16

Cody please make Caesium Iodide. Its a soft crystal that you can bend and do experiments with!

ToothyGus - 2016-12-17

Philip Polkovnikov - 2016-12-16

It seems Cody has much more free time in winter.

Double Dare Fan - 2016-12-16

It's cold. Cody has to keep warm. His answer: Do experiments that call for heat.

Bernardo B - 2016-12-18

that would be interesting

xWood4000 - 2016-12-16

Could you produce francium next, please?

WillMW - 2017-01-01

@xWood4000 yeah

Senvr11 - 2017-01-08

he turned turkey shit into nitrate, im pretty sure he can do it

WillMW - 2017-01-08

@Senvr11 we weren't saying he couldn't we were just saying it would be stupid

Paul Freedman - 2017-01-16

The best one can do with a Francium sample is use a radioactive isotope with a decay path that leads to a Francium isotope, which will also decay, but then one can state that the sample always contains a fraction of Francium.

Paul Freedman - 2017-01-16

Rubidium is probably even a better one to do. Although Cesium has the greatest cross section of all atoms, It seems Rubidium reacts even more vigorously than Cesium.

twocvbloke - 2016-12-16

Given that sodium is used for lighting, what would a caesium light look like? There's an idea for you to try... :)

twocvbloke - 2016-12-16

I was taught to spell it as Caesium, after all, I speak English, not American... ;)

Coolinee Kerman - 2016-12-17

@twocvbloke ok i just you know the feeling right?

WobblyBits_X - 2016-12-17

Aluminium. That is all.

Tschadschi - 2016-12-17

CAESIUM

Eric Saúl - 2016-12-30

and in my country its Cesio.... so yea...

Sam - 2016-12-16

Oh boy, I'm surprised you'd recommend thunderfoot...hes awesome but some snowflakes might not like him.

Cody'sLab - 2016-12-16

I dont agree with thunderf00t on everything, in fact I think he is kind of a jerk a lot of the time, but he is an amazing scientist.

Christopher Willis - 2016-12-16

Now I love Cody even more :D

Notumengi - 2016-12-16

:O i am in the same comment chain as cody!

dannyfrickenboy - 2016-12-17

Sam yeahhh I am one of those snowflakes lol thunderf00t is a brilliant guy and his videos are awesome. I just find myself disagreeing with his views on some things. oh well, that's why they say to each his own

Gakulon - 2016-12-17

dannyfrickenboy No, that's not being a snowflake, that's being reasonable and civil about it. Snowflakes would rip your head off and call you racist, sexist, et cetera.

WickEÐ - 2016-12-16

I learn more from your videos, than being in science class for 3 years.

WickEÐ - 2016-12-17

not all :>

Yusuke - 2016-12-17

@MoneyPwnage Not all, but you are.

Warface used to be good. Now it is retarded. - 2016-12-18

@MoneyPwnage You should see yourself right now... What a joke!

Yusuke - 2016-12-19

@Anime Wins Yeah right?, he is offending himself.

Burak C - 2018-01-29

Then you don't pay attention and I'm sure Cody would be disappointed to hear that as well as pleased to hear this.... Bro pay more attention in science class ...it's probably the coolest class ever anyway so enjoy it

Wraiz - 2016-12-16

FOR THE NEXT VIDEO "ISOLATING FRANCIUM" hehe

Retoxx - 2016-12-17

The second I saw the first reaction I was yelling "Slow Motion!! Slow Motion!!" Hahaha, thanks for the Slo-Motion ending Cody!! Awesome!!!

rodger so - 2016-12-16

how to make an amazing fuel for accelerated space travel:mix one part cesium two parts plutonic quartz and a bottle of water 😁

Ben Wilson - 2016-12-16

Cody, are you alright? You said welcome back to MY LAB, what is this blasphemy?

ElGatoLoco698 - 2016-12-16

I love it when you get surprised. You sound just like me. "Oh dear."

Gun Sense (drmaudio) - 2016-12-16

The slow motion is really quite beautiful.

ib9rt - 2016-12-16

Dad! Cody's making pipe bombs again!

Martin S - 2016-12-17

Cody you said about 2 years ago that you'll attempt to make a rocket that you would shoot out to space, you were doing a lot of rocket science back then, will we see more rocket science? Now that it's cold you don't have to worry about starting forest-fires

Zak Ash - 2016-12-18

Can you do more of the mining series please, because I really enjoyed it.

Thanks

Anton - 2016-12-16
