Sodium and Chlorine Reaction - The making of table salt
An Erylmeyer flask is filled will chlorine gas by the reaction of hydrochloric acid and potassium permanganate. Sodium metal is placed into the flask and the reaction is catalyzed when a few drops of water is placed on the sodium metal in the flask. What results is an exothermic reaction that produces a white smoke full of NaCl or sodium chloride dust.

All you need to do is pour some seawater into a car battery. I think a lot of submarines have been destroyed that way.
Two things, 1) far more impressive if he started with two clean flasks and measured amounts of chemicals to guarantee chlorine production straight away. 2) A minor quibble but, as a deaf person, it would be good if enough space was left at the bottom of the screen for closed captions. The sodium, and later salt, could not be seen for much of the time because the captions obscured them until the camera was moved.
This was very very cool my understanding of chemistry is limited but u made it digestible and easy to understand I'm excited to become a chemist so i can do reactions like this

Is it possible to use this reaction as a form of renewable energy? I've been wondering about how to use the byproducts of sodium and chlorine in saltwater electrolysis for hydrogen collection as fuel, but couldn't the embodied energy in this reaction also be used to further the efficiency? Could this combustion be used possibly in expansion much like an engine where the colloid is ejected like CO2? How could we safely use this reaction? Could it be used more for it's heat produced than thermal expansion?

The molarity of the HCl was between 3 and 6. I diluted 6 molar to some quantity to give me a steady but not too fast of a reaction with the potassiums permanganate solution. I use the same flask every year that has the KMNO4 so I do not know its concentration. Regarding the safety snafu of the mislabeled bottle you are correct, however, If I knew this video would of gotten the attention it has I would of left that out. Good Luck!

can you show how to make Cl from NaCl
Do You Mention Kerozin, at the beginning? Please..
What is going on with the flask in the background?
I would bet there is more sodium hydroxide in there than NaCl and that is a chunk of NaOH not NaCl. The fact that you poured water directly onto the Na (s) leads to another reaction and the Na + Cl --> NaCl is more like a secondary or even tertiary since there is also H + Cl reaction and Na + O2 reactions going on in there not to mention the Zn reaction that I saw. In conclusion I think you just wanted to see the Na light up like a fire work

+FessUpWithCara It would require a tremendous amount of heat as NaCl is an ionic compound with a very stable crystal lattice structure. The salt structure has a very high melting point, which is a property of ionic solids, due to the stable (low energy) crystal structure and the electrostatic attractions between the positive and negative ions.
