In this video I synthesize silver nitrate from sterling silver for the purpose of making my own silver photographs in my lab from scratch. I hope you enjoy the video!
PS. I put all the music credits in the video where they show up so you know exactly what you're listening to in case you want to use the music for your own channel.

This is a quick video covering the repair of my vacuum filtration setup. It’s also my first stage in a two stage deep vacuum system using a rotary vane pump on the output of this system. If I filled the trap with oil I could use it to distill high boiling compounds. Anyway if you need a vacuum system and don’t have the money to build a good one, you could try my janky vacuum setup for yourself.

Here’s a quick video of some silver salts I made being exposed to UV light. This is mostly silver nitrate with a little bit of sulfate contamination.

[Streamed on YouTube 8-8-2020]
In this video I try to synthesize silver nitrate from what I thought was sterling silver. As it turns out it wasn't 😛 so the viewers and I proceed to try to figure out what my mystery metal is.

Here's the silver nitrate procedure from science madness:
http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/vi...

The reaction I want to observe with the silver nitrate I explained really poorly, I forgot a reagent and some other details. Here's the link to the source I originally came across this in:
https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/...

Also here's why I want the silver. It can evidently be pyrophoric in some situations:
https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdfplus/10.1...

Here's PoorMan'sChemist's website that he mentioned during the stream:
http://poormanschemist.com

Also check out his channel, he's got some really cool science there:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKXc...

Thank you to everyone who watched and participated in this stream. I had a lot of fun and I hope you all did as well.

I posted this to Instagram and thought that maybe some of you would like to see it too. Plus I gotta start posting again sometime right? Hope you enjoyed the peek around the lab.

This is the second installment in the Fume Hood Saga. This video covers some of the cabinet tear down and rebuild as well as the fan box baffle build.

In this video I dismantle my fume hood in preparation for:

"Fume Hood 2.0 - The Big Suck-Suck"

I also uploaded this video to make some announcements that some of you may not be aware of:

1. My fume hood is out of commission, which means I will likely be focusing on rebuilding it and generally working on improving my lab for the next few weeks.

2. Item #1 limits my ability to perform some reactions I wanted to do safely, for instance I wanted to make bromoethane soon. I might still do that one if the weather is good enough, I'll do it outside or something.

3. I will likely make videos or timelapse videos like this one on the build/rebuild process of things for the lab during this time.

4. I also have several videos that have previously been filmed that I haven't gotten around to editing due to lack of time and other factors (laziness) that have delayed production times. I will be editing and releasing these when I can while the lab is undergoing "renovations".

Thank you all for sticking with me and being patient! I also have started an Instagram account if you want to follow my progress between videos.

A final note, I have set up a Patreon account and put the links for my Instagram and Patreon in the about section of the channel. If you choose to donate, I really appreciate any and all support and I am currently working out a reward system for any potential contributors in return for your donations.

DANGER: Fuming Nitric Acid is incredibly dangerous! The reasons will become apparent in this video. Do not try this at home if you're not aware of the dangers and safety protocols necessary.

I made this video after making a small amount of Fuming Nitric Acid. I originally wasn't planning to upload it, but I thought you all might want to see it.You know... because fire.
