In the past many used to experiment more than people do today, and learning from experimenting is one of the few ways to get to know the real world. As such many new and wonderful things have been found among many mistakes along the way, and if someone never made a mistake they have never done anything productive. As things not turning out as planned and then correcting to make things work is how to get anything to work correctly, as nothing is completely right the first time.

Tbh this very similar to Polly alloy

The strangest thing is I might have a perspective to this. It could be a similar effect that yeast has in bread where it consumes sugar and lets off gas. The difference between the first one and second one is proofing (not sure what you would call it in chemistry) where since your giving the Mercury time to react with the ammonia the ammonia starts to replace the sodium allowing it to permeate the surface which them easily lets the hydrochloric acid quickly penetrate and react inside the mercury liquid as well as on the surface

The amalgam holds shape @ 12:40 because you effectively "tempered" the alloy, crystallizing enough of it to lock it's shape. I'm not sure, but I think it's because of the remaining sodium in the solution that it allows this

After all, it seemed strange that people had already been running major uranium mining operations long before the discovery of nuclear fission, and before they even knew about uranium‘s radioactive properties. It took me years to realize that uranium had already been used to make yellow glazes and translucent green glass throughout the 1800‘s. That said, I‘m not even sure if uranium was ever considered a particularly expensive pigment back in the day. Atleast by the time the early 20th century rolled around, yellowcake uranium was apparently considered a less valuable byproduct of the production of radium and vanadium.

I think the answer to 12:36 is that you heated the material which gave it enough energy to form a more stable crystal structure. When you keep heating it, it doesn't work because the crystal structure will not be fully formed and it will still be in a "melted" state. But because you cooled it the crystal was stable enough to last for a while.

The reason it doesn't work with the nitrate might be because of the strong oxidising nature of nitrate ions. I imagine NH4 radicals would be very good reducing agents and the nitrate ions might just oxidise them as soon as they are formed. Ammonium nitrate in itself decomposes on heating to make H2O and N2O as the NO3- ions oxidise the NH4+ ions. You could try adding ammonium nitrite instead and seeing if any nitrogen gas gets evolved. All in all an amazing video. Looked forward to it since that Instagram post. 🙌

Sulphate ions are weakly oxidising and they should oxidise NH4 radicals quite easily. NileRed says that only ammonium nitrate caused a problem. Can you think of a reason for that? Maybe it has something to do with the solubility of HgSO4 and HgNO3. Hg might interfere with the reaction and cause only the sulphate ions to precipitate.

Watching nilered is like watching someone make minecraft enchantments in real life and i really life it

12:15 I think you just just made the start of a T-1000.

12:50 Looks like a silver toxic blue tack

I'm gonna be honest, the most impressive part about this video to me was the fact that you based it off of a paper from 1865.

Nyle: *uses paper from 1865* *Ah yes, the *classics**

Hey I know you probably don’t read comments but I love your channel and enthusiasm for chemistry. I’m no chemist but you’ve inspired interest in a previously uninteresting subject for me. Thank you!!!!

2:20 "as far as I know, what's going on here isn't really known" did he just work his way around saying he doesn't know what's happening?

Holy moly.. this is cool. especially the suspended state! My guess is that you were stalling the decay of the amalgam by flooding it with the components it was trying to dissipate. (Heat and the solution)

"The sodium amalgam can be used as a gateway to other amalgams some consider...unnatural."

12:17 ah I see, it's okay to be amazed on your first time 😏

2:12 WHAT THE HELL CHEMISTRY IS SO COOL

I searched up ammonium amalgam in google images for a project I'm doing for school and screenshots from your video are the only ones available. As a faithful subscriber for many years, I thank thee.

Please keep this series going

When you were playing around with it around 12 minutes in i honestly thought it looked like some kind of Metallic silly putty

12:15 this is amazing

this is genuinely one of the most fascinating things i’ve ever seen

I’m the best possible way, your videos help me fall asleep. Sleeping is really difficult for me but your videos are relaxing, interesting, and overall just peaceful. I also really enjoy your content when I’m not trying to sleep but I really treasure it because of how much it helps me. Just thanks I guess.

Please do osmium and mercury amalgam there is no documentation on it

Osmium is really expensive so i dont think we would do it

Alexandru Postole ya osmium is quite expensive so I highly doubt he’ll be doing it anytime soon

Wasn't mercury used to make osmium alloy pen nibs? I don't have a link but I remember somebody back in the fountain pen era used mercury to form an alloy with osmium and iridium that could be melted and machined.

@@pixelpatter01 Osmium and iridium nibs are still made today, I dunno what the manufacturing process is though.

That would be ridiculously poisonous.

Ammonium and mercury: two great tastes that taste great together!!

That is so interesting. Awesome footage!

Sounds like an question for EPR/ESR experiments. You can map the proton electron interaction and quadrupolar interactions of the 14N with the radical e-, and even do D and N15 experiments.
