To be clear, this forms quite pure copper(II) carbonate, not the mixture of carbonate and hydroxides typically found in nature correct? By the looks of things it is quite insoluble and is also not hygroscopic like most other copper salts? It could have very interesting applications in fireworks if so.

@99Chemicals CuCO3 is green when dry, but a bluey-colour when damp. Copper carbonate is well, just copper carbonate, but basic copper carbonate is the same compound but with hydroxide ligands attached.

An interesting experiment with copper II sulphate is to make copper aspirinate. This is the procedure: 1. mix one gram of sodium carbonate in 50 ml of water. 2. dissolve 1 gram of aspirin in the solution. 3. There will be undissolved aspirin, so it will need filtering. 4. pour solution into a 150 ml flask. 5. To the solution, add 50 ml of copper II sulphate solution. The concentration does not mater. 6. Swirl the solution until a precipitate of copper aspirinate is formed.

Copper Sulfate is a life-saver to get roots out of the pipes!

My left ear loved that! :D

Lol I thought my headphones were broke at first

It would be interesting if you could write the stoichiometric reaction in the video or in the description. Keep up the great work!

@TheHomeScientist Thank you for that. Love your videos. Way better than science was at school. I have lots of potassium sulphate,calcium ,and sodium carbonate, but no potassium carbonate.

Excellent, thank you for your reply.

he had his glasses upside down..... i cant troll this series is too good. wish hed make more though :(

Geez, you're going to have forearms like Popeye if you make too much of that with that hand pump, lol.

Thsbks vety much for exellent experiment and explanation .Just wondering where can I buy all chemicals /substance which hacebren used in given rxperiment?

@TheHomeScientist hey thanks i stick to tin well thanks for the vid and when i dont have any malachite to smelt i will give this a try

I believe that you can actually get more product with less contaminants if you use Na2CO3, Sodium Carbonate, as opposed to Baking Soda, NaHCO3.

What if all I have on hand is cupric 2 acetate? Can I use it?

Does any of the sodium sulfate precipitate, or does it all remain in solution?

what is the balanced equation of this reaction? thanks.

this is for a science project: where did you get that manual vacuum pump?

@TheHomeScientist Ok! With the diluting effect, you´re correct. I´m only considered big quantities in my comment, sorry. I´m a trainee in chemical-technical assistance. In school, we have instruction to dispose copper waste in a special way (Cu 2+), in spite of the absence of any other, potentially hazardous substance. Sorry for my bad english ;-)

Can I get the same result if I have lower purity CuSO4? Mine is homemade, so I was wondering what I would get. I'm guessing the reaction would go on, but just with a lower yield

What is the make and model of the particular scale you are using? Thank you in advance for your correspondence and consideration. :)

can i use this root killer to make a solution for electroplating copper? if so, copper sulfate (root killer) mixed with water or like distilled white vinegar?

Could I use this method to obtain potassium carbonate,from sodium carbonate and potassium sulfate?

whit the copper ore created here can i make bronze with it?

@TheHomeScientist Is yours made of plastic or metal?

so what does one do with Cu ore, what can it be used for?

Why the heavy gloves?

I attempted a roundabout method of this - by using copper (II) acetate I got from dilute acetic acid [vinegar] and hydrogen on normal pennies; and adding baking soda to the resulting solution. My first attempt with it yielded the intended product, But when I added vinegar and H2O2 back to the pennies I got a very dark green solution and a noticable percipitate in, and on the bottom of the container. Do you have any idea what went wrong with the second solution before I throw it out? ~FP

so how can we get the pure copper metal from this?!

Here's a question that I've always wondered about. Is it true that the lack of copper in the trace minerals in our foods is the reason for early gray hair or is that just a myth? Thanks.

@Gta2CubanPete THANK YOU! Waht I want to really know, is hwo to get copper metal from chemical process that I can do for cheap or free, and also I have been trying to find the easiest cheapest way to make sulfuric acid... Can you share any info on this? \

Is it possible to make copper bicarbonate

Why are you using an aluminium plate? Once the oxide layer is gone, doesn't aluminium react with the copper(II)carbonate? (to form pure copper and aluminium(III)hydroxide) During büchner filtration I would also use a good amount of clean water to flush out the sodiumsulfate.

I thought copper carbonate was a green solid not a sky blue type color. Sorry but what is the difference between copper carbonate and basic copper carbonate i heard in another comment??

Is it perhaps not cheaper/easier to just use copper electrodes in an solution of water and baking soda? It worked for me, during electrolyse gives beautiful waving (baby) blue copper(II)carbonate. :)

Wow! Is Professor Poliokof over there? Where's the quiet bald assistant called the stig?

The sound is gone, or messed up, or something >.

@isocrate27 at times, it can be extremely difficult, and sometimes, not possible at all.

how much was it

I read in "home do it yourself" mix copper sulphate, rock salt, vinegar & baking soda in equal quantities then flush it down toilet to cause a foaming action & kill roots in sewer pipe. Is this correct?,

+MrYoumitube The copper sulfate is the root killer, don't bother with the salt, vinegar and baking soda, it's just a waste of money and chemicals.

How to make acid proof copper

Nice! :) I'm a mac user too. Have you tried the "Final Cut Express? I learned to work on it through the tutorials in youtube! At the beginning gives a bit of work but is much better than iMovie. :)

where to do you get root killer? is the root killer pure or does it have other compounds mixed in?

labmaster49 You can get it at hardware stores with 99.0% purity. That's where I got mine.

haha at the beginning of the video your glasses are upside down

More information: blog.makezine.com/science_room... link is dead has it moved ???

this was posted on my birthday, lol

@TheHomeScientist thank you! Im actually looking for a cheap or free way to obtain pure copper metal (other than finding some scrap,.. do you think there is an easier cheaper way? if you can get some chemicals for free, or really cheap, and extract copper, the copper would be worth mroe than the chemicals, and of course, you can accomplish chemical reactions for free, so it would just be your time youre using, and since this is like a hobby, then i consider it to be free!!

@LiquidChem These two links might help you: ?v=5dUSF9Gl0xE - make copper ?v=arlYPz3EP7A - make sulfuric acid Good luck! :)

I just did this as a means to achieve copper oxide. I ended up doubling it as I need a good deal of the copper oxide. I used a buckner with a medium filter paper. When I put in the last of the sodium bicarbonate it was still a little reactive. From what I understand it should be at the end of reactivity. I ended up with a medium blue solution in the filter flask and a ton of product. BUT, the copper sulfate that I started with was very pure. I had made it by electrolysis and did two recrystallisation on it. It was very pure. like deep blue clear rock salt and larger crystals. Would you think that this would have caused my this amount of sodium bicarb to fail to convert completely? I have done this before using much less pure chemical and ended up with a clear filtrate. any thoughts anyone?>

Try adding some more sodium bicarbonate to the solution after filtering and see if it reacts further.

lol upside down goggles oh well

didn't you notice that your goggles are upside down?

99

technically none of the salts are actually molecules. the only things that are are water and carbon dioxide.

are you nurdrage? :O

eye protection is upside down

OMG!!!!! in america, you can buy pure copper sulfate for put it in environment??? oO thats horrible!
