I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

Thank you for this method. Previously I have made the copper (II) chloride by way of HCL and an expensive oxidizer. Going this wrote makes much more sense for me. Thanks

Wonderful. I can't wait to see what you do with them. Also I am very glad to see that you have the audio sorted out. Before I could only hear it in the left channel :/ I saw a makemagazine video a while back of you making iodine since its regulated by the fda now. I didn't know you had your own channel till nurdrage gave you a shout out. Looking forward to your stuff, your certainly well prepared :]

I think copper carbonate is actually the most commonly used coloring agent in fireworks for that blue/green color, however almost any copper compound will make a blue/green flame when burned.

Great video! I'm planning on doing just this! 5 stars!

thanks for the next episode! :D

Nice video, thank you. Where can see the video about "serial progressive crystallization"?

Ahh thanks for responding. I don't know why I said I didn't use distilled vinegar when I did. I did some research and I believe I made basic copper(II)acetate as well. Any ideas in how this could have been made?

this is a couple parts of our chem final lab

Question, could you reduce the solution with heat until you were right above the saturation point, then force the product out of solution by adding a solvent that was miscible with the solution containing the product (water)? I think methanol, acetone or 2-propanol would be good cantidates, as they are very very poor at holding salts in solution.

One comment. I can't find a reference to CuCO3 existing as a simple carbonate. Every reference I've found says this is more likely basic copper carbonate, either Cu2CO3(OH)2 which is green or Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2 (which is blue). Both will effervesce with acids and yield CuCl2 or Cu(CH3COO)2.

Hey guys, I did the same reactions but did not use distilled vinegar, and when the copper acetate formed a greenish insoluble precipitate formed. any idea what this could be?

We can't tell you what you ended up with up unless you tell use what you used in substitution of the vinegar. What did you use?

Hey could make a lab vid which addresses making hydrochloric acid? I am not sure if it is possiable to make using a salt water solution and Sulfuric acid. thanks,

congratulation . you had fix the sound system right?

With these numerical calculations, maybe you could think about presenting the working on a whiteboard to the camera instead of speaking them? Such things are usually much easier to follow with a visual presentation than just voice to camera.

May I ask what uses copper (II) acetate has?

Where do you purchase your weigh boats please?

what amount of hydrochloric acid?

@Walter White what chemicals did you combine? copper (II) sulfate and baking soda form copper carbonate. this is the powder he is using in the video. combine copper carbonate with vinegar (acetic acid) to form copper acetate.

This video made me somewhat sad. I made a good amount of copper acetate by reacting copper metal with acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide at around 80-85 degrees celcius. I have no idea what I did with that copper acetate.

@johnyz656 If you want to make hydrochloric acid out of ordinary table salt (NaCl) and Sulphuric Acid (H2SO4), then type into KZread 'Hydrochloric Acid from Salt' - the first video on the serch results list in my opinion is the best.

the pipe is going all the way to the bottem of the bottle, you just squeeze to squirt out the water. :)
