When you added the Alcohol in the first run you were reading the numbers from the back of the cylinder and used the volume loss set of numbers. The right side is volume added/ volume total and was 50ml not 150ml. One set of numbers is if you started at 200ml so you can see how much you've poured out, evaporated or lost in some other form. The right side is to see how much total volume you currently have.

Love this Girl’s enthusiasm

I love these chemistry type of videos!! Hope to see more in the future!!!

I liked the general experiment. Interesting to know. But maybe be a tad more 'scientific' when comparing results. A more visible flame (the yellow) does not necessarily mean more heat / btus being produced. Alcohol flame is harder to see with the human eye but burns pretty hot. Instead of burning a marshmallow maybe measure temperature rise in equal amounts of water in pans. Perhaps use a temp scanner to see how hot the flames are. Test shelf life to see if you can make it ahead of time and if it holds up comparable to sterno. PS - I'm guessing sterno is green just due to the addition of dye to make it easy to see if you spill some. Sterno I used in years past was not green.

One thing I was hoping that you would show is what is the temperature that they burn at which one's hotter

@thomasgyting3251

From the color and density of the flame, the sterno is burning much cleaner and hotter.

Great video also calcium acetate when heated produce acetone which burns too

Extremely cool experiment!!! We loved the video, comedy banter and subtitles lol Josh! Questions, 1. What were the burn times for each container, and in your professional opinion does the organic egg material burn longer? It looks faster, and hotter too. 2. Can you really cook a piece of chicken over Calcium Acetate

All your videos amaze me subscribed to your channel a wile ago keep up the good work 👍

conducting practical chem lab experiments at home gets more than the ordinary of oneself. An impressive work with the salts and water!

I think terms that might be applicable here are wicking and regulating. The calcium acetate gel holds the alcohol, offering a limited surface area and a body of material that slowly releases alcohol while burning (wick) and by limiting the exposed surface to the ball rather than an open pool it acts to regulate the flame. That said - regulation?? We don't need no regulation!!! We want eggy vinegar aftertaste charcoal marshmallows and we want them NOWWWWWW!!!

Science teachers take note 📝 fun experiment for young ones and useful incase of emergency situation where resources are needed.

The alcohol in sterno might be ethanol. That would explain why the flame is so transparent.

Curious, at the end you said that the residue from the pure calcium acetate was similar to the eggshell substance before you ground it up. Would you be able to make a powder from the residue and reuse it, or have its properties changed after the burning?

@Ostenmaster122

Yes it is possible to reuse the residue. Calcium acetate decomposes at 160C (320F) degrees into acetone and calcium carbonate (the latter also know as eggshell substance). When the jelly is burning the heat from the flame causes the calcium acetate to decompose. The acetone produced in the decomposition reaction burns away, which means that the residue left behind is 100% calcium carbonate. Now if you take this residue (calcium carbonate) and let it react with vinegar(aka acetic acid) it will turn back into calcium acetate. If you’re curious the two reactions look like this. The first one is calcium acetate decomposing and the second is calcium carbonate reacting with vinegar; 1. (Calcium acetate) + heat --> (Acetone) + (Calcium Carbonate) C4H6CaO4 + heat --> (CH3)2CO + CaCo3 2. (Calcium Carbonate) + (Vinegar) --> (Calcium Acetate) + (Carbonic Acid) CaCo3 + CH3COOH --> C4H6CaO4 + H2CO3

What came first? The egg sterno or the chicken tenders cooked over egg sterno?

What is the burn time difference between the three? Is the residue re usable in the homemade batches?

Calcium Acetate is $25. but dollar stores sell sterno (off brand) for $1.25 each so you could buy 20 sternos canned fuel for that price and no science lab time. You could also make a simple alcohol stove from an empty jar or can and be done with it.

Can the calcium acetate remainder after burning be re-used to make more gel?

Should have done a boiling water temperature test... That way you know how much energy each is giving off over a certain time as well

@glenwaldrop8166

Agreed, but at first glance the home made one with eggs did better, it burned higher, which generally means more heat, and it burned longer.

The king of random, now it's just the queen of order

how many batches does that container of the calcium make per your recipe? And how many cans will it fill, and what would be their burn time?

Can you reuse the after product once it’s fully burnt out or what is a possibility with the left over product.

The video started where she was talking about calcium acetate, but I didn't hear that part.
