Raney nickel quite reliably sets fire to flammable organic solvent vapors when it dries out...this is a problem when using these organic solvents with Raney nickel in hydrogenations (quite often methanol). Once the reaction is complete you filter off the Raney nickel, which glows orange if allowed to dry (as shown in the experiment in the video). This can ignite methanol vapors if present, and methanol fires are particularly bad because you quite often can't see the blue flame it produces! You can prevent this by not allowing the catalyst to dry out, or keep everything under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon. Very nice video as always, thanks!

Had some experience working in a canola oil plant that used Raney Nickel catalyst for hydrogenation. On more than a few occasions, the spent catalyst bins would spontaneously combust, but it also contained small quantities of vegetable oil, aiding the process.

Two more very important (perhaps most important) roles for Nickel: First as a part in most stainless steels, not what makes it stainless but to make it machinable and usable (makes the steel stay in austenitic phase and not ferritic). Second as a base metal in it's own category, Nickel alloys (also called Super alloys, one example is the Hastalloy sorts). Very strong and resistant to oxidation.

Hi professor. Thanks for the great video. Here's a little bit about chrome plating (but not about bumpers and fenders - the US and Britain use "bumper" to describe the same part of the car. What we call a fender, British people call a wing.) Chrome plating is a three-step process. First is a layer of copper plating. This provides a solid surface for the rest of the system to stick to. Next is a layer of nickel. It's used for two reasons - it's the right color, and it's very easy to polish to a high shine. After the nickel is polished, a layer of hard chromium protects the nickel from scratches and oxidation.

I find interesting that nickel much more effectively sank down to the earths core than iron. Effectively depleting nickle in earths crust. The chemical reasons (from both the perspective of nickel and iron) behind that difference in behaviour would be interesting to hear. ... Related to that: ... I recently found out that the very heavy elements thorium (and uranium) are highly concentrated in earth crust but depleted in all of earths interior. This is (as I understand currently) what results of relatively recent neutrino experiments suggest. Generally: Chemistry vs planetary level gravity on large time-scales seem to be an interesting and little investigated topic.

during the reaction, the reactant/s use the catalyst sort of as a place holder for electrons as they have incomplete d-shells. in the contact process, where vanadium is used to create sulfur tri oxide, from dioxide: SO2 + VO5 -> SO3 + VO4 Straight after the vanadium shared electron that it lost to the sulfur is made up with (if enough oxygen is present) 1/2O2 + VO4 -> VO5 this means the reaction is propagated by the vanadium, but it does not get used up, making it a catalyst. Iron has a similar role in the production of ammonia If vanadium were not used, this reaction would be much more energy intensive

Found a new favorite channel.

I used nickel for my chemistry internal assessment back in high school. I also used other transition metals like chromium, manganese, etc. I'll be honest, I took a little of them all home as samples.

[Music + experiment sounds] Always nice to come back to this channel now and again.

I used to package Raney Nickel at Aldrich, we would put a little bit on the floor and about 20-30 later, it would go off. The bottle you have is from the early to mid 90s, those are old Sigma Aldrich labels. I actually have a video on my cell phone of us messing around with it. I also have video of us messing around with aluminum chloride, when we would rinse the funnels off, it would create clouds of HCl. Anyway, I remember the Raney Nickel coming in these black metal pails, like 5 gallon paint pails with the covers crimped on. It was only about 1/3 Raney Nickel and the rest D.I. water on top. Stuff is a bitch to weigh and package, sticks to everything.

"And eventually.." "It glowed slightly" xD

Highly informative as usual.

Most Americans I know prefer bumper, as well. There's a term 'fender bender' that refers to an accident that isn't likely to have done any damage to the integrity of the car, but other than that it's mostly people in(older) commercials that utter the term 'fender' at least in the Mid-West.

I've been playing a game with some fan-made modifications, that add various machines you can make, and ores that you can mine. And one thing it added was the ability to alloy certain things together. One of those alloys is Invar, which, in the game, has the recipe of 2 parts iron to 1 part nickel. This was where I first heard of this alloy, so I found it an interesting coincidence that a similar (if not the same) alloy is mentioned here, as being used for battleship armour. I know that alloys don't usually have such a neat and tidy ratio of components, as what's used by the game, but I think they simplify it so it's not a chore to make alloys; the game should remain fun, is what I think their aim was.

Since the removal of bumpers, many cars have a single panel that wraps around from one tire to the other on either the front of back end. As a result, these panels are sometimes referred to as fenders today. Cars without bumpers have bumpers, but they are behind the panels now, and are incorporated into the frame, so they don't shine them up anymore.

One correction. The nickel in the Sudbury basin was not delivered by the meteorite, but rather the meteor made large fissures in the earth's crust and the nickel (and copper and precious metals) came up from the mantle. That's why so much of the ore is deep. Several mines are going to start drilling deeper shafts: 2kms plus.

As the steel in bumpers, etc., has microscopic porosity in the surface (called pitting), & to achieve a mirror smooth chrome finish it's usually nickel-plated 3-5 times & polished afterwards each time, & only then after a final nickel-plating (if smooth enough) is the item chrome-plated! On vehicles built today chrome-trim is usually just mylar with a clear polymer over the top!

These periodic table videos are amazing. I'm in.

I used to do organic synthesis in a research lab, and occasionally needed to use Raney nickel (RaNi) in my experiments. To insure I had really active RaNi reagent I’d take a small amount of the prepared material (stored under water) from the reagent bottle, wash it 2 - 3X with absolute (i.e. dry) ethanol, then put a spatula tip full of it onto a piece filter paper in my hood. As soon as the ethanol had evaporated, active RaNi would burst into sparks & flames, just as Neil’s did after vacuum drying & subsequent air exposure! IF that test failed, I’d either need to open a fresh bottle of the reagent, or prepare it directly from the Al-Ni alloy as was mentioned in this video.
