Redox Reactions: Crash Course Chemistry #10

All the magic that we know is in the transfer of electrons. Reduction (gaining electrons) and oxidation (the loss of electrons) combine to form Redox chemistry, which contains the majority of chemical reactions. As electrons jump from atom to atom, they carry energy with them, and that transfer of energy is what makes all life […]

Alcohol + Potassium permanganate = Explosive reaction!

Please note that this video was made solely for demonstration purposes! Do not attempt to repeat the experiments shown in this video! So, in this episode, I’ll show you an amazing reaction between Ethanol and Potassium Permanganate. For this reaction, we need Ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH), concentrated Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4) and Potassium Permanganate (KMnO4). Firstly, let’s […]

Easy Nickel And Copper Electroplating Method

Simple, cheap, and reliable way to plate metals. I used this method to plate the screens in my Edison Battery… Check my page at: http://www.noonco.com/nickel/ For FAQs and less expensive alternatives. Just in: I see that Amazon has Nickel Ammonium Sulfate for only $21 for 100 grams. The address I found was: http://www.amazon.com/Ammonium-Sulfate-Laboratory-Hazardous-Chemical/dp/B008V5ZFB0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1390583233&sr=8-3&keywords=nickel+ammonium+sulfate SPECIAL NOTE: […]
