Next Episode : "Extracting Pure Mercury From Tuna"

I love the contrast where NileRed takes something inedible and makes it edible and Cody takes edible stuff and turns it inedible.

One thing I love about chemistry KZreadrs is that while NileRed has a very clean and professional looking setup, everyone else like Cody'sLab and Explosions and Fire make their vids in what look like actual methlabs lmao.

10kgs of banana just turned with a lot of hardwork into 9gm potassium just to throw it in water

Imagine finding a jar full of ash labeled "flesh" out of context.....

Ahh yes, a mason jar full of black liquid labeled “flesh” in messy handwriting

theirs such a difference between you and Nile Red. Nile Red:

this is such good science. i am very appreciative of the attention to detail with reporting measurements. so many times you see stuff like this excluded because it's so cumbersome to report all of it in a video just made for fun, it means a lot that you went the extra mile.

"Honey where did all of the bananas for Banana Bread go?" "

"Banana Flesh Ash Water"

it's amazing how the human body just does this on it's own, converting the banana meat to useful metabolites

The fun thing about this is that the potassium he managed to extract is worth about 5 times 10kg of bananas (or at least this is what I found out searching on Google) . He could start a business out of this😂

While doing research for a nutrition class, I found out that papayas and red potatoes have more potassium than bananas. You should compare those.

NileRed : nice laboratory with nice glassware

I was good at high school chemistry so in the chem lab, my teacher allowed me to experiment with substances that were off limits to most of the other students. For me that meant elemental sodium, lithium and potassium. One day the teacher had a small jar of elemental sodium under some non-reactive oil and offered me a tiny piece to see how it would react. Since we didn't have a river to toss it into like Cody, I had to do it under the hood. I put a few drops of water on a tray and under the hood added the bit of sodium. It danced around like a grasshopper, breaking down the H20 and giving off hydrogen gas. Being highly flammable, (think of the Hindenburg) the heat of the reaction ignited the H2 gas. Note that H2O can be written HOH, which emphasizes the fact that water is a hydroxide of hydrogen: H+ -OH.

"Kris, get the banana"

he literally did ALL of that just to throw the result into a lake so it could explode............ GENIUS

Cody: "Cat is making a mess." Cat: "Says the guy who just dumped dozens of bananas on the table."

i love your channel, shows chemistry does not take fancy equipment, only knowledge.
