And here we see two majestic chemistry majors post expensive piece of paper frolicking about their natural habitat. Watch closely. Soon, you will spot the moment a reaction starts, and the two will begin to uranate upon each other in a show of dominance. Sadly though, a victory here is not all it seems, as the apparent alpha is still a nerd.

Seems like evidence that it's not a lack of skills, it's that he doesn't usually want to try that hard, probably because he can still show the process without doing everything perfectly. But when the consequence of cutting corners is having radioactive waste to deal with, it's just easier to get the steps nearly perfect the first time.

"I don't plan on inhaling any of it" Remember to always test your homes for radon, I took my Geiger counter to my HVAC air filter and got counts per min over 1000, which is pretty much only from the beta decays of bismuth and lead 214

where do you get it in bulk, though?

Nice to see some U chemistry. You've probably got some other metals (lanthanides, other products from spontaneous fission, in addition to the decay products) from the rock dissolved in the nitric acid, though. Would've been better to purify the U nitrate with TBP extraction (5-30% in n-dodecane or kerosene) first to remove all the other crap, then back extract with dilute nitric, precipitate as ammonium diuranate, calcine that to UO3, THEN react that with the hexachloropropene, at least that's how we do it sometimes. If you're not too fussed about the other elements present in the rock to start with, you're probably OK, but the purification I outlined there should get rid of most of the extraneous crap.

Man I have to say, all your chemistry projects are really amazing and stand out of what I usually think of when I think about home chemistry and youtube chemistry channels That being said, its a huge yes for me in favor of the organothorium synthesis project!

Would love to see some Thorium chemistry next!

Those are absolutely massive yields, good job!

you are have some aditional steps: 1) convert UCl6 to UF6; 2) centrifuge it to devide isotopes; 3) collect proper isotope; 4) ...

This is one of my favorite video in your channel :)

I wonder how many fbi watch lists I'm on now after clicking this video

those are such beautiful green colors. i’m curious what some other radioisotopes look like

Dude your channel is so underrated, your videos are so good.

Well definitely u should try thorium and try to make a piano stool complex of it

Great vid mate! Wish the best

Good job! Actinoidoorganic compounds are cool. I would try to separate Ra though, since you don’t want your final product to be radioactive, I suppose.

Awesome! Love your videos

Your videos are so good!

Very original and challenging! Great job! You could check the gamma spectrum to see how far along you got with the secular equilibrium! Thumbs up!

Good, Thank you very much. It would be interesting to watch how the Uranocene will be synthesis.

this stuff is so satisfying to watch

Please do the thorium chemistry!!!

The cleanup from this must have been a nightmare

yes radioactive chemistry is amazing, love your stuff man

I (as a beginner chemistry youtube) am really impressed how you make your videos so easy to watch. Where did you learn to create (edit) such beautifull videos?

Thanks already valuable and refined lessons

I'd love to see a thorium episode! There are a lot of places to get a lot of thorium from, you just gotta know where to look ;)

Thorium yes please. Thorium chemistry fascinates me more than uranium's, although it's less complicated.

Uranium is harder in regards of the oxidation state, as +4 will be oxidized to +6 UO2 2+ in presence of air.

I have absolutely no clew about chemistry. And after watching this video, I have to admit that I have headache (maybe due to the high pace of event and activities). But I am impressed, how cumbersome all this seems to be. And somehow all this reminds me of cooking - but many dimensions more complex! All in all very impressive!

@noodlelynoodle.

Жыл бұрын

Cooking isn't quite the same cause a lot of times you're just heating rather than causing chemical changes but when you look at something like baking it is literally applied chemistry cause it is chemical changes and slight inaccuracies in measurements can stop the reaction from working or completely changed the outcome just like in lab chemistry like this

It's facinating that people use organics to prepare exotic uranium chloride.

First time ever I see a real sequence of reactions to go from rock to desired molecule (i m not a chem professional nor student). Very interesting

FBI guy in the van. I'm just watching out of curiosity ok

Love the color of Uranium. Also love that Urinals are named after this compound. TIL

Remarkable and intriguing video. Awesome too. Question, probably off the the topic here and since we are talking about radiation stuff and had questions too, is it possible to electroplating beryllium, regular electroplating?

0:12 just FYI - Cody (Codys Lab) got a visit from Uncle Sam because of a harmless "I don't have my atomic weapon... yet" joke. Or at least that was what they used to give him a hard time. I don't think you're in the states tho, idk if your government does the same petty crap. But be careful :-)

I don’t even know what he’s doing but I love it

Careful going near any centrifuges, that's how Cody got raided.

I wonder what UCl4 looks like in large crystals (I could only find 1 pic, which was yellow-ish). Are you willing to do a slow-rxtalization of that product, which might also help with its purity?

Uranium tetrachloride is the precursor of many organouranium complexes. I'd love to see you make uranocene ;) In addition, thorium has its own organometallic chemistry. Thorocene when? P.S. Actinocenes use cyclooctatetraenide!

I wondered about this but the industrial route seems to use elemental fluorine which is pretty terrifying... and idk if there's a safer way of making it. Also I do wonder if making UF6 would get a channel strike or even a ban. Obviously it's not going to lead to people making nukes since isotope enrichment is still completely inaccessible to amateurs, but do you think KZread moderators know that? They aren't nuclear scientists!

Nice job! Can you shed some light on utilization of washings and wastes? The radioactive one.

Idea for the next video: electromagnetic isotope separation 😂

Who ever knew a pet rock could be so threatening...

The government agents that got cody’s lab is sitting on the edge of his seat while watching this.

Imagine dropping uranium by mistake in a furnace Other:BRO!hell no

Beautiful work mate! One additional safety thing you should probably have mentioned is how nasty water soluble Uranium salts are! Just in case anyone who probably shouldn’t (I.e. someone lacking proper lab safety knowledge etc.) is planning on doing this, just don’t 😋 Uranyl nitrate is easily absorbed through the skin so spilling it on yourself would probably be even worse than eating or snorting the ore 🤪 Anyways, would love to see some Thorium Chem!

Good one. Didnt menage to make UCl4 in my bachelor thesis. All stuff you used is contaminated now.

I know you are saying Heat. But every so often I think you are saying Yeet. and its funny when you say "going to Yeet(heat) it" XD

Couldn't that be used to seed a breeder reactor? I'm thoroughly surprised it was this easy to obtain. Did you need to have a permit or license for purchasing chemicals?

you do get some gamma from the decay of 238U, since the 234Th produced by alpha decay is in an excited state and emits a photon, ofc thats where all the gamma from that lump of uraninite is coming from, excited state nuclides produced by alpha and beta emission, all down the chain

Interesting ❤❤ teacher, can I ask you a question if you can help please, is it possible to slightly enrich uranium at the chemistry laboratory?
