"an interesting accidental chemical I made along the way" kind of defines most of humanity's journey of chemistry

Once you've processed rotted poop, the solubles are a mixture of nitrates. Adding wood ash (which contains a lot of soluble potassium compounds) will cause a *displacement reaction* forming more potassium nitrate from the other nitrates, and exchanging with mostly hydroxides, forming Calcium and Magnesium hydroxide, which can be separated.

You could probably do pretty well in most instances. Especially if it's after agriculture was invented. As long as that is the case you could work with the scholars of whatever period you are sent to. You have to keep in mind a lot of the stuff he is doing is centuries old. Sulfuric acid has been around for over 1000 years. So have most of the chemicals featured in this video. The main key is to tell people what can be done. Like paper making for example. You could simply tell someone that you take plant matter and water mixed together to make paper. You don't need to know how and you don't even need to show them. If they are motivated enough they will take what you told them and run with it.

@@Imaboss8ball that's the trap of the game. Language alone could be insurmountable, for instance, if English is your only language, then if you go back too far before 1400, you'd be nearly incapable of communicating with anyone. if you speak a love language, like spanish or italian, you'd still have a steep communication curve, but less than for English. However, if you're in Spain or Portugal, your experiments could run afoul of the Church, and you could end up dead. Let's say you surmount all those hurdles: What is Sulfuric acid called before it was called "sulfuric acid"? what's it called in Renaissance Italian Alchemy? if you know how to make it, what're the Ores called in that day and age? Where do you get them? Does some Italian Lord own the lands you want to mine? without being a born noble, how would you secure those rights? Would you risk torture/death to poach the minerals? anything you'd want to use, you'd have to make, which means making the thing to make the thing to make the thing you want; which means getting the raw materials from nature. Most advancements throughout human history haven't been notable b/c they were invented at all, but because they were industrialized, or were industrial advancements in and of themselves. a lot more things that most people realize are dependent on massive industrial infrastructural advancements. For instance: Every Chemistry Experiment where you mix chemicals first requires those constituent chemicals and materials to be manufactured, purified, distilled, and processed. just knowing chemistry is useless unless you know the industrial engineering to make the Things to make the Stuff. So communicating with the scholars of the age (which may be nigh impossible if you're not already rich or noble-blooded) guarantees little more than potentially giving away processes to others who'd steal them and leave you destitute (the fate of MANY inventors throughout history) or, if it challenges established wisdom, could get you escorted out, laughed at and ignored, or drawn and quartered. with "option 4) lauded as a genius" a distant, last-place possibility...

In terms of testing the purity of the diy chemicals, it might be really interesting to have a "scoreboard". Basically have a list of the purities you have been able to achieve, and use that in part to determine where you are in the historical tech tree.

That acid splashing around the bottle scared the crap out of me, glad it didn't escape the jar.

All you gotta do is underchange your fishtank and overwater your potted plants so the extra water fills the water dish under the pot and evaporates. I grow crystals of KNO3 on it's rim in my apartment :D

Love the apothecary you are making. Going to be fun watching it fill up.

You don't really need too much nitrates for making sulfuric acid, you can burn sulfur that makes sulfur dioxide, then absorb it in a solution that contains nitrates, the nitrates will oxidize the sulfur dioxide into the trioxide releasing nitrogen dioxide into the air, which will oxidize in the presence of oxigen back into the nitrate ion, which comes back into the solution, making it a catalyst.

Human ingenuity blows my freaking mind

I work in telephony, which includes POTS lines, which trace their roots to the telegraph in the late 19th century. It's kind of an eerie feeling that your recreation of millennia of technological progress have gotten to the point where it nearly intersects with my current job, lol.

For just some chicken feed - you get amazing science! Great job Andy!

Congratulations on successfully making sulfuric acid! Here's a few of the many (more) uses you'll find for it: *Making hydrochloric acid from NaCl (Which in turn is very useful) *Making nitroglycerin from nitric acid and glycerol *Making flavouring agents from a carboxylic acid and an alcohol (i.e. Fisher Esterification) *Making the lead-acid battery (I would prioritize this, personally) *Converting ethanol into diethyl ether (useful solvent, anesthetic, diesel engine starting) ...and of course many more.

The entire human technological base is built on learning how to throw stones, boil water, and spin things in ever more advanced ways.

You mentioned chemicals being one of your biggest hurdles, and that is the same for me when I run my thought experiment where I am sent back in time/isekai'd/zombie apocalypse/dr stoned and have to rebuild modern society. Chemical processes we use today have been brute forced after hundreds of years of experiments, and I doubt any chemistry class will teach you how to create the ingredients with primitive means. So thank you, this is vital information that I will never need but want just in case.

I think you may findd the lead boxes were lead alloy boxes, probably lead/tin mostly, maybe lead bismuth or antimony. Also, lead does react with sulfuric acid, this is how lead acid car batteries work(which you can now make as well). But if you do a minor electrical process on the lead sulfate that is produced, you can get the acid to part with it.

I am so hyped for this telegraph project

Drop the Better Help sponsorship! Their "therapists" have suggested that self-deletion might be the best option, suggest "just don't be gay" as a solution for abusive parents and because they don't get paid for unscheduled consultations, they regularly ignore or hang up on off-hours emergency calls. Not to mention that the platform, itself, (unlike the "therapists"), is not restricted by confidentiality laws so they can and DO collect, store and sell your information to third parties, costing their customers potential employment, loans and insurance premiums. Better Help is worse than no help at all.

Hooray! New video! I was confused at first when this video popped up, because you'd already done a chicken poop video, but I saw that it was in a fact a new one. I wish you could have told specifically what all you have in the apothecary now. The only one you showed before was sulphur. Maybe you could do a short in which you show all the chemicals you've collected so far. While I am looking forward to the telegraph, I do worry that you're jumping ahead too quickly. I want to see all the cool Mediaeval and early Modern stuff you've skipped over. You should've made a spinning wheel by now, which could then lead to a spinning jenny. You haven't even done a horsecollar (You could rent a horse to test it). I really want to see a printing press (and better paper than you made before), and a Jethro Tull-type seed drill (even better if you could include some actual Jethro Tull music in the video, but I realise that might be out of your price range).

2 things about recrystallisation: Use a minimum amount of hot water to fully redissolve the salt. NEVER let all the liquid evaporate to dryness. The whole point about recrystallization is that impurities are left in solution whereas your product crashes out. You can combine the leftover liquid ("mother liquor") of several recrystallizations and boil it down a bit, in order to recover more product.

For the purification, you can use activated charcoal. It's fairly easy to produce. Just soak charcoal in a strong basic solution for around 24 hours, then boil it for a bit, wash it in clean water, and let it dry. It, off course, will be not an industrial-grade product but should be good enough to deal with random organic impurities in the solution (I tested it with organic dye).

The dark color in the solution is probably from carbonaceous material and iron salts. But most of your nitrates here are bound as calcium nitrate, which is far more soluble than either sodium or potassium nitrate. So you have to precipitate out the calcium. You do this by adding carbonates. And what better source of carbonate than potash. Well potash, K2O, is not woodash which contains potassium carbonate but far more calcium carbonate. So you have to purify your wood ash too.. in part by calcination. Once you've precipitated out the calcium, you separate the sodium from potassium nitrate by successive fractional separation (sodium nitrate is more soluble than potassium nitrate and potassium nitrate is more soluble in warm than cold water...so you heat the solution, allow it to cool and collect the precipitate that forms right under 40 C. Crystalize that... then redissolve and heat and cool and collect.

For everyone curious the modern process for H2SO4. You burn sulphur to SO2 reburn it with fresh air to SO3 lead that into high concentratet H2SO4 to form H2SO7 and bring this into water where it splits into 2*H2SO4.

The alchemy shelf is a pretty cool idea. Might use some museum putty or put a small rail on it since some of those chemicals would be a major hazard if something happened

If you want more stuff to crystallize out of the liquid before "harvesting" the crystals, put the liquid into a fridge.

When making chemicals in old school methods it's best to scale up operation to large quantities and collect the 0.5% or lower yield by controlling the variable substances example holding temperature or by creating separation of fluid in quantities

Hey Cody you should check out Sengoku Komachi. It's a manga about industrializing feudal Japan from Oda Nobunaga's court and there was a chapter dedicated to using chicken poop to help making gunpowder. Great video!

Don't know if you tried but I just watched another vid which basically says that to make sulphuric acid you can 1. heat pyrite to approx. 600 degrees C (which will boil off the H2S from it) then 2. Add water. As for the battery, you already have lead and sulphuric acid, job done right?

IE… Industrial Revolution and plastics and electrolysis leads to aluminum which is used in airplanes and even rockets which leads to outer space.

Now since you’ve passed the basic chemicals milestone you should try to leave the age of gunpowder by making nitroglycerin and therefore entering the age of high explosives. Also you should try to make other key chemicals like ethanol, methanol and hydroxides eg: sodium hydroxide. This will allow you to make soap to then be further processed into glycerin, a key component in nitroglycerin and from nitroglycerin you could follow in the steps of Nicolas Nobel land make dynamite.

And heck, even after we use the poop for its energy, theres still some very small amount of potential energy in the ash if you can get it hot enuf, and then theres still potential energy in the smoke as well Bcuz we cant convert matter to energy with 100% efficiency, ever. There will always be smth left, some kind of byproduct, unless you manage true 100% efficiency... Which isnt happenin in a firepit for damn sure

You can try making sulfuric acid by roasting iron pyrite to produce sulfur dioxide and then bubble that through water to make the acid. Im sure it can be even done with clay if you try hard enough and make a reinforcing glaze. Basically a sealed chamber inside a forge with a pipe going to another chamber filled with water, basically a still but low pressure. Edit: after some quick research, for this method to work well, you would need to include an oxygen donor material. Im curious is its possible to use sodium chlorate and have it react with the iron to work as an O2 generator, that can then react with the sulfur producing SO2
