Silver Nitrate

This is the last video for the month! There should be some cool ones coming up next month. I have only now gotten through my backlog of videos. I have been only editing for the last 2 months...I am kind of sick of it. 

I want to get back to doing practical things! I really hope I am able to distill my mercury this month.

Silver Nitrate

Comments

Hello Guys. Nice to be here. :) please, how many grams of silver nitrate it produces with those 60 grams of silver? I want to produce Silver Nitrate to use in silver plating painting. Thank you :)

I did a while ago but I lost the file! Haha

Nile Red

Great stuff :) thanks! Have you began to collect questions for Q&amp;A video?

cool, those are some pretty easy to get ones! I personally am a fan of lavender. Maybe Ill do that. Ill add it to the list. No promises if/when itll be done though. My list is huge (and very disorganized)

Nile Red

Rosemary or lavender is what I want to try, mostly because I have heaps of it.

Yup I have one. Not sure what would be cool to extract though

Nile Red

You could use a Soxhlet extractor for that if you have one.

It makes silver acetylide, a heat- and shock-sensitive high explosive. Probably not a good idea....

68% is also 15 molar. Above technical grade and reagent grade you can get fuming nitric acid. It's considered FNA above 86%. You will see most samples around 86% to 90%. 21.4 molar solution would be 90%. Anhydrous nitric acid is classified as either Red Fuming Nitric Acid or White Fuming Nitric Acid. RFNA is usually around 97% or so, WFNA is closer to 99% to 99.9% or 24 molar.

Hey Carl. "Concentrated" is the standard term for 68%. Concentrated HNO3 is the same as 68% or it may be labeled technical grade. These are synonymous. If you purchase commercially available nitric acid it is almost always 68% or right around there. The commercially available stuff is just the water/nitric acid azeotrope which has a concentration of 68% HNO3. It does degrade over time so it can vary by a few percentage points in practice. Reagent grade is specified as 70%.

ooo that could be fun! I have to film a whole crapton of stuff in the coming weeks. So maybe that will be one

Nile Red

That is true. Also, I am honestly not 100% sure. It is probably around 65%. It varies a little and I am not sure my bottles says

Nile Red

Never heard of doing that. If it makes something cool though, I can do it. What does it make?

Nile Red

Suggest: distillation of flowers to gather the fragrant oils?

As always, a great video: Suggest that when you note a "Concentrated" solution the percentage amount should be noted as well. i.e. "Concentrated Sulfuric acid" has different concentration. In this video, what is the call out percent for your "concentrated nitric acid"?

I read that bubbling acetylene through a 10% solution of silver nitrate produces some entertaining stuff. ;-)
