I react sodium metal with potassium chloride at high temperatures to obtain potassium metal. NightHawk's Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ21jQiOv2E Help me make videos by donating here: https://www.patreon.com/CodysLab
A scientist did an experiment. He combined oxygen and potassium. It went OK
lmao
Haha
AkwadTypo YT kiss me.
AkwadTypo YT ist probably would be KO2 which is a hyperoxide
@dos54 or KO2 super oxide and K2O2 for peroxide
You've done what I could not. Great job! Very cool to see a positive result.
SixTough maybe buy catalytic decomposition of potassium chloride is better
I just subscribed to you. HARD.
Nightlife_Rolf potassium has a net positive charge! LOL
@Redstone the check symbol is to show that he has basically been approved as a channel by YouTube. It's a way for everyone to see that you are the REAL tuber, not just some random. Like alot of people make accounts like "Barack Obama real" or something even though it isn't truly them. It's just a way to make sure people aren't stealing your content for the most part. Unfortunately to get this you have to meet certain criteria. For example I Hate Everything's channel couldn't get the check mark since he has been copyright strike'd (or some bullshit like that).
@NightHawkInLight You could go around the block with some Magnesium strippers. But that only usually works out well if you start with a big cylinder.
Cody VS. Grant thompson
Cody
Very Legit science. "Underdog" production quality. Always corrects his mistakes in post with annotations. Innovative experiments.
NO CLICK-BAIT WHATSOEVER. Humble. Lots of hands on, self made stuffs.
Grant
Fun. Poring chocolate in to chicken mold. Sometimes clickbait. Lots of self promo. Great production quality. Sometimes says acid is high on PH scale. Mostly content for younger audiences.
@N3KOS are life can I have the source of your pfp
@Bill Howitzer
kizuna ai
@N3KOS are life thank you
@Bill Howitzer
Ok
@N3KOS are life alright
Can you try to cold weld in your Vacuum Chamber? I already asked this but I just want to make sure this has a bigger probability of reaching you.
oh cool
Lehtaan check his Q&A je said he'll do it
in case you never heard, he recently made a video of him trying to ^^
How do you manipulate the objects to test for strength of the bond inside a vacuum chamber
You can cold weld in regular atmosphere with a high quality set of metal standards... They literally stick together like they are magnetized but it's just because they are perfectly flat so the metal cold welds to its sibling
I'm glad you show your failures. It's very instructive, too.
ALCHEMY!!! SORCERY!!! WIZARD!!! STONE HIM FOR THIS HERESY!!
Nah, just kidding. chemistry is freaking cool.
GalaxyOfWaffles # please stop. not all of us are religious.
why are you so proud to be unreligious?......is that stellar to you or what?.....i just think you're all overthinking faggots with a science complex from never excelling in any form of curriculum....i mean.....at least the unreligious people who think its commonplace to brag about being unreligious....
Ancient people were silly and had silly ideas. Silly ideas should be ridiculed and eliminated. Otherwise, society would never progress beyond being cavemen.
but he's a male so dosnt that mean he's a wizard??
*heracy
Sodium to potassium. Honestly i though i was about to see some alchemy.
He did.
"He did see some alchemy."
Nice pipe bomb ya got there cody.
daxtron2 daxtron
.......you probably set off the scorpion algorithm with those words.
Hey Cody, can you do a video on scandium? Nobody ever talks about it :)
+Hosseini Maryam I know.
Surprisingly it's just 15 USD/gram. I've thought it's much more pricey.
@Philip Polkovnikov Scandium oxide is around $5000/kg. Pure is much more.
Other than price, availibility is also a big factor. It's not so easy to obtain.
Scandium is available on eBay and the Patreon account could easily pay for it. I say go for it.
Never eat out of a bowl at Cody's house just saying or drink out of a pint glass haha
For some reason this whole thing screams "Pipe Bomb" to me haha
Cody'sLab savage
anonymous you can get argon gas from a welding supply store
Ethan Knight so true
luckily there is still people that can do stuff without feeling the need to destroy or kill others properties or beings. In europe this has become a real problem. Who is the terrorist? it's like the new mccarthyism without being allowed to point to the places of worship with the pointy bits screaming prayer 5 times a day.
GalaxyOfWaffles # English ?
Oh by the way , that isn't a pipe bomb , it's wayyy too small
why do you look more like a viking in every video?
FARTS FOR EYES JUNIOR. Because he is badass
What's wrong with looking like a badass viking?
you have a random plate of pure magnesium? or am i the only who finds it odd
Ferrocerium rods are only 4% magnesium, what you want is something purer
He's the guy who has a Box full of uranium & other radioactive stuff, so a piece of magnesium is nothing special :D :D
Knaks G which is a magnesium/aluminium alloy isn't it? I was wondering of the reaction didn't happen because the magnesium content isn't high enough.
I have the radioactive stuff i.e. Uranium ore, and Columbite from my mining claim, but sadly no magnesium sheets yet.
Its kinda weird actually. . .
I even have a ~60x20x5cm almost pure magnesium rod from some old soviet plane.
Cody:"What do you think of potassium?"
Me:"It's K."
you know, i've not taken chemistry yet and don't fully understand everything you do; however it's still extremely entertaining to learn from.
"What's in the oven?"
Just some Potassium Chloride...
When will you be starting the "Cody's mine" video's again Cody? :) Still loving the videos.
4:00 "OK, it exploded" - I love it when things work out well
I have no clue about chemistry... but I Iove it!
Took me a while to recall that sodium = natrium and (even longer) potassium = kalium
"There you have it:
Sodium metal, turned into Potassium metal."
p-ting!
...vintage Cody :)
3:56 Yep okay it exploded.... I'm like "O-o and that's normal to you?"
Why is this video age restricted
8:23 when he pulls out the container and says 'K' it made me laugh
put a bath bomb in water, in the vacuum chamber
do itttt! <3
Cody'sLab sounds good!!! 👍
Do it. Also, are you using a cold trap bud?
what was the magnesium plate like thing you where cutting up?
Cody'sLab yes for sure definatly 😀😀😀😀
"Hey cody, what are you baking?"
"Potassium"
"Ooohhh, is it some sort of chocolate cake?"
"No it's salt. I'm baking salt."
I can only imagine the amount of dissapointment when you're cooking stuff in the kitchen
6:12 cody just stuck it in the toaster oven and was like "Boi"
The amount of random chemicals you purchase, you've got to be on some government watch list 😬
What the hell is that magnesium sheet from?
No, what.
I want to know what it was he got it from.
Masonry supply store
You can get pure enough magnesium metal from a variety of sources. One is from camp fire starter kits that you can get at almost any outdoor supply shop, even at a walmart and sometimes a hardware store that sells camping equipment.
Online you can also get magnesium powder. This last suggestion is far less reliable, but a CNC shop may be able to get you some magnesium filings, or scrap left over from milling magnesium parts.
Fire starter kits (the "sparking" kind) are usually made of ferrocerium, which contains a low percentage of magnesium. There are some kits which contain a magnesium bar, which you can shave down with a knife and ignite the shavings with a ferrocerium rod, but they are harder to find.
the pencil sharpeners we used at school were magnesium. quite surprising how much stuff is made from it.
"Yep, OK, it exploded."
Lol. So nonchalant.
How can we help you get a better chance of getting to Mars on Mars One?
Loving the recent increase in the frequency of videos :D
6:07 "i made an AK" haha
"Yeah, ok, it exploded." -Cody 2016
"it's all melty" - Cody you crack me up.
2:40 thats not how you double wrench, try turning channel locks around <3
isnt NaK a liquid at room temp? Never mind I thought I was smart. I remember when I was a kid finding a use for those pipes. Dont have any around now though.
Hey Cody, I was always curious about this, Al-Mag alloy rims ground into a powder as a thermite ingredient.
How would such a thing like that react?
Hey cody u should do a reaction of KOH with Mg to form K and MgO
I swear he's gonna build a working fusion reactor one of these days. All this stuff is just a prelude. lol
Didn't look like magnesium looked more like zinc
3:00 happened is spelled incorrectly
I just learned about single replacement reactions in chemistry, cool example!!
Your problem is not the synthesis, it is the temperature. It probably forms NaK inside the reaction vessel, and then the NaK is distilled out. Potassium boils at 759 deg C, while NaK, depending on the ratio, boils at around 785 deg C. So it should theoretically be possible to get pure potassium, but you need active temperature control. You could see if your university has any inert gas furnaces, and do the experiment in that.
once you started to explain how you will make it react the backnoise from my tv played the starwars song,gotta say that was very epic on itself hehe
Cody, can you make a video on cesium?
Yeah, it would definately hurt. Just not blow your hand off. and the cesium is'nt contained the same way a firecracker is.
@Lucas Jonsson Yeah because cesium will start reacting with the moisture in the air unlike potassium and sodium which react with water. So as soon as you take it out of the oil or glass vessel or whatever its stored in then it will go bang.
I saw thunderf00t's video last night, about the fake video, and he made cesium by using cesium chloride and lithium. Fairly cheap i guess
Not really. You need to flood the alkali metals with water to get them to explode. Has nothing whatsoever to do with Hydrogen. It's a Coulombic expansion. Cesium, Potassium and Sodium all go black in moist air, they oxidize very quickly in the presence of water.
@RyuDarragh
Cesium and rubidium are melting because of the reaction heat and are self igniting in air.
Would grinding up the magnesium into filings or shavings have helped its reactivity?
"Nighthalk's Video" TYPO
It's NightHawk :)
Haha, I was about to ask"could you make NaK with this same process" and it turns out you made NaK anyways
Thank you for explaining your theory and hypothesis! I totally get how it is all supposed to work. Thanks again!

lets be honest they dont want 13-15 year olds attempting anything cody does
TheEmeraldMachine - 2019-04-24
mpk 666 it’s because potassium is volatile and dangerous and he wants to make sure the young don’t attempt this
