Aluminum and Mercury
Ғылым және технология
When mercury is added to aluminum, it forms an amalgam (a mercury alloy). Aluminum is normally protected by a thick oxide layer, but the formation of the amalgam disrupts it. It allows fresh aluminum to react with air to form white aluminum oxide. As the oxide grows, it forms as these cool white fibers.

Mercury (AtNo 80) can be indeed used to convert bell metal (Copper (50) plus tin (29) ) to gold (79). The only problem is that alchemists of the past and today's scientists don't know the exact process. However ancient yogis (inside and outside of the subcontinent) were able to use mercury to convert bronze/copper into gold. (WARNING: requires long yogic practice and penance else you will die. I don't want anyone to try the method, so deleted it. Practically nobody in the present age can do it.)

This is wicked to watch, nifty to learn about the oxide layer on alluminum. This was really cool to see, makes you wonder what his process could be used for. Imagine this used in a movie, color the aluminum or dye it and have something look like it is growing, a little cgi and edits and it could be something nifty or freaky.

Annoying isn't the right word... working with Mercury for fun is the scientific equivalent of free climbing an overhang under a cliff face known for rock slides. Mercury absorbs easily into the skin and bloodstream, and a small amount can be fatal. Just because this is on KZread doesn't mean just anyone should play with it. There are stories of scientists with even four layers of protection getting small amounts of Mercury in their system and dying. Very cool element. Very bad for living systems. 😅 It's only annoying to work with if you value your life 😏

One of the first experiments we did at school chemistry was to weigh a piece of Al foil, then rub it with mercury. This left a molecule thick film of Hg on the Al and it started reacting. We left it for a week, by which time all the Al had turned into a grey powder. Weighed it again and noted the increase in mass. Really practising using the balance and making observations. Bowls of mercury, in an open lab, no safety kit. Still it was about 1960. Chris
I was just imagining gem fusions... like, mercury and aluminum are fighting together, but when the battle gets tough, they fuse to form amalgam! But they argue too much, so it’s a short lived fusion.

Even if some didn't understand it caught they attention and they still got some information of it and maybe some interest for chemistry. Even if its small its a lot more than what they get in class since in class its just boring theory and no practical part wich is the most important part in chemistry since even if you know the exact terms and stuff in practice you won't know how to do a thing. Also just teaching boring theory won't get students interest but make them hate it and never want to have anything to do with chemistry ever again. PS: In my country we don't get teached practical chemistry only theory and i don't know how it is in other countries.
Can we have another mercury video, please? I'm interested to see if there's an Iron or Iron oxide amalgam. I was reading recently that mercury reacts differently during amalgamation when in a vacuum and may combine with things that normally float.
Very cool video! When you were touching surfaces that had mercury on them I couldn’t help but think about mercury’s neurotoxicity and Dr. Wetterhahn’s story. I would add some warnings and tips on how to handle mercury itself and the waste if anyone happens to want to try it.

Yeah, I work as a aircraft mechanic, and mercury is (besides from a health danger) a metal that do not need to be heated up to fuse with other metals. Luckily, I haven't seen it while on the job. But (most of the time) it is almost impossible to know if it has fused together. Mercury creates an intercrystalline corrosion, which is only visible through x-rays or Ultrasound tests.

IKR! That's some serious J-Horror shit going on there. BTW, 0:16 - "...which is why you're not allowed bringing mercury on a plane." Are you French-Canadian or something, NileRed? It's weird, because you don't seem to have an accent other than the standard Canadian English 'ou's, so hearing you say "not allowed bringing" instead of "not allowed to bring" there was quite jarring. Anyhow, thanks for the amazing video. Subscribed.

@@raerohan4241 Depending on the school, (particularly high schools), a significant portion of the funding goes towards the sports programs such as football and basketball, even though often those programs don't even lead to scholarships for the players and it's rare that the players do anything related to the sport after finishing school. I know when I was in high school, our basketball court got completely redone despite being in fairly good shape, all while our text books for most classes were five to ten years old and falling apart. This is also a school where basketball was the secondary sport compared to football. In addition, the gym where that was done wasn't the one used for PE classes, (we had a much older secondary gym for that), and for a year or so after they did it they didn't even like for people other than the basketball team to walk across that gym floor.
