    I would call that a success. Haven't done the exact math, but for the volumes of the gasses used you couldn't really expect much more sulfuric acid. 20ml of supposedly 90-95% acid is probably around 35g or roughly 1/3 mol. The amount of gases used for a 100% yield would be roughly 7.5L SO2 and 3.75L O2 so just over 11L total. That chamber doesn't look much bigger than 20L perhaps. That's just crude math done in my head after a shot of whiskey so I may be wrong.

Some parts of the plant were lead lined steel, some were fiberglass, etc. The sulfuric acid was used in part in an alkylation unit to produce gasoline from isobutane.

As you probably know CO can be mixed with water to make hydrogen and water to make alcohol and hydrocarbons. This stuff is really cool because if fuel (hydrogen) can be derived from CO2 and water, enough industry will pull out alot of CO2 to cool the planet.

    There's been some discussion of using the Sabatier reaction (CO2 + H2 - -> CH4 + 2H2O) and electrolysis of water (2H2O --> 2H2 + O2) to convert CO2 from the martian atmosphere into methane fuel. The idea is to avoid having to carry enough fuel for a round trip on a manned mission: instead you send an automated fuel plant a few years in advance, and when your astronauts get to Mars there's already a return trip's worth of fuel waiting for them.

    I've seen variations on this so many times. Since hydrocarbon fuels end up burning to CO2 and water, if you start with those materials, make fuels from them, and then burn them, you'll consume just as much energy making the fuels as you'll release burning them. It's not really an energy source, at best it's a form of energy storage (albeit a potentially useful one). It also doesn't remove CO2 from the atmosphere, since the CO2 returns during the industrial process. The best way to remove CO2 from the atmosphere is photosynthesis. If you care about the environment, plant trees.

    I read in an old chemistry text book that its possible to start with elemental sulphur, mixed with a smaller amount of sodium of potassium nitrate, ignite the mixture and suspend it in the lead chamber. The sulphur burns, mostly combining with atmospheric oxygen to form SO2, but a small amount is oxidised by the nitrate producing some nitric oxide which is soon oxidised to NO2. From then on it pretty much follows the route in Cody's video. I suspect it might take a lot longer to rub but you dont need any acids to start the process.

    Yes, with careful fractional distillation where you monitor temperature, but what he did left him with catalytic traces. Oleum is out of the question, and hot concentrated sulfuric acid reacts slower, so what could it be? I'd say traces of nitrose.

    So the study of Vitriol is an ancient roman study of glassy minerals from which acid can be derived from. The name Pedanius Dioscorides comes up a lot. Not the pre-Socratic philosopher but some roman chemist/medic. I see here that they were roasting something called Iron(II) sulfate. I'm more into humanities than stem but i'd love to see Cody do it medieval style!

Antares was also MUCH lower in the sky... Those flat earthers make me want to do a video to better explain this.
