6:00 @Modern Goldsmith that isn't giving the reaction room to breathe. That is playing with your health and potentially your life. You are adding water to a concentrated base here which results in explosive heat generation. It is one of the basic rules of laboratory chemistry to never add water to concentrated acids and bases. You only ever do it the other way around. As A matter of fact: there have been explosions with several casualties in Frankfurt (Germany) because water was mixed to fast with concentrated sulfuric acid! You gave me a literal heartstopper here!

I've recently finished my chemistry graduation and I must say I truly love your videos, using chemistry as a tool to do your work is amazing and I wish I could do the same! As for the Glucose part, one possibility I thought is, since it is a solid, it doesn't get as much contact with your reactant, hence the slow reaction. When you use a Glucose solution though, the solvent makes the Glucose more available in the medium, speeding up the process, an interesting test would be to use a glucoese solution right away, maybe that way, the reaction would be less vigorous!

This videos are a great example for the difference between learning by force (school) and learning by interest. I hated chemistry in school. And no teacher had the time, or took the time to explain their enthusiasm for this class. So, the only thing I learned in chemistry class was… it’s boring, you only need it if you want to become a chemistry teacher… and it maybe killing you. Now I watch these videos, thinking: „Man THAT IS COOL!!!“ Thank you for showing a cool side of chemistry! ❤

Hey, if you want to dillute an acid, add it into water and not the other way around. For most acids the dillution process is exothermic (=releasing energy in the form of heat) as far as I know. So the little water getting added immediately boils & reacts like in your video (or worse).

Such a freaking epic series! I love rings but would LOVE to see any other kind of jewelry. Earrings, necklace, bracelet…tiara? I cant wait to see what you end uo making!

Just for future reference (I'm sure it's been mentioned, but just in case others are reading this) - it's much easier to start with just nitric acid when refining the gold, not aqua regia. Nitric acid alone will dissolve out all the metals EXCEPT the gold. Then after thoroughly rinsing the gold sponge, THEN you use aqua regia to dissolve the gold, precipitate with sodium metabisulfate, dissolve again in AR, then precipitate and melt. The benefit is that all of the other metals remain in solution in the original nitric acid baths, so the gold is much easier to filter without silver chloride. Then you can cement out silver by simply sticking copper in the nitric baths. That cemented silver can then be melted as is at ~85-90% purity, or refined through an electrolytic cell, or converted to silver chloride and this same process followed but it'll go much quicker because the silver will have far fewer contaminants/other metals than doing it by going straight to aqua regia and letting the silver chloride form. It'll also result in higher yield, as some of the silver won't convert to silver chloride during the initial reactions, so a good amount of your silver (and gold too, most likely) ended up in your stock pot as a result.

Fascinating video. Im going to watch your gold blob video right now. Do you have any videos on platinum?

@5:45, your solution was too concentrated to allow the reaction to proceed - adding water thinned it out enough the reaction continued briefly.

I love your video's and am a big fan of NileRed and Sreetips channels as well. Thanks!

For washing steps you can use a separatory funnel to reduce the number of washing steps, make it easier to separate layers and prevent the loss of any silver

Amazing video!

I was thinking with the silver and gold you could potentially make really REALLY cool rings or pendants based off of the shape of their atoms? Maybe use notching or something to create the electron pattern? I just think you could really come up with something unusual and very modern but also as a commemoration for your first foray into the chemistry of producing gold and silver from ore/melted blobs of varying metals!

this was another awesome video! I'm not a chemist either, but I sure loved watching the process! Thanks for the chemistry lesson! It's probably not enough to make a money clip, but that would be a good use for it!

I clicked on you gold video thinking it was a NileRed video, however I wasn't disappointed and the journey was great. Great to listen too aswell (although the hard breaks in music are a bit uncomfortable), soft voice, good audio. I'm going to check out some of your smithing now. One big problem: As someone who takes safety in the lab very serious (I burned my nostrils once by smelling acid full on) I can't agree with someone drinking out of a beaker or any chemistry glassware, doesn't sit right with me, really bothers me, even as a very well meant transparent joke. But keep on with the rest, and good luck.

I was always taught and I alwyas taught that you should NEVER drink from any glassware (beakers included) that come from a lab or are for lab use. Safety first, then a "drinking" glass of OJ! Excellent job, I found you calm voice over came my "hurry up" want to see the gold and silver. My patience was rewarded at the end of your videos.
