In this video I see what happens when you put sodium metal on ice. First I test it with regular ice then I test it with ice that is as cold as liquid nitrogen in order to freeze the water layer on top of ice. The results are very neat and always fun to watch!

Is that small layer of water the reason why ice is slippy?
Exactly
Ice also melts under increasing pressure...a strange behavior as most substances freeze under increasing pressure. So it is likely ice is “slippery” in part due to it melting under your feet due to the pressure you exert on it as well. But either way, yeah...thin layer of fluid.
@@pauliexcluded1 Thx
We don't know why it is, many experiments were done and we just don't know
Guy That co you mean you don’t know
I remember doing challenge with my cousin when I was a little kid, where we’d put salt on an ice cube then see how long we could hold it on our arm.
Didn’t know we were actually burning ourselves…
Sodium chloride (salt) just goes into solution; it's not at all the same as bringing metallic sodium in contact with water

Even though it's pretty obvious that people should not try this at home, I think you should at least set an example and wear adequate protective gear when playing around with sodium and liquid N2.

Handle liquid nitrogen without gloves as well - this guy is nuts
Doesn't want to get hit by molten sodium, then allows it to be splattered everywhere. Next week we get to see him pick up his robot with damp hands. . . and find that bit of sodium that landed there. . .
Action lab: an increase in safety wouldnt be a bad thing: sodium and ice just blew up but then you had a piece of sodium on a toothpick and you are rubbing it on ice the second time now granted the ice has been frozen as you hypothesize that would be no reaction but still you just saw ice get blown up it probably would’ve been better to handle it with a pair of pliers or something else that you could reach from further away. Also you were pouring the liquid nitrogen Iallbeit had a freezer jacket but you were still handling it barehanded. I’m just saying there’s lots of people watching these videos and safety’s not a bad thing
My thoughts exactly. Should have had a containment to prevent splattering. Very not safe.
You know he literally just did explosion did you see that😎
He clearly has no concern for his personal safety and only takes a few precautions just to make us less anxious.
Sodium can't react instantly, or fast enough that he can't react. If the sodium reacted, he would have seen smoke and pulled the toothpick away. It would have been a safety hazard if there was no toothpick.
@@wedmunds "Sodium can't react instantly, or fast enough that he can't react" - Really? Because he literally got burned by molten sodium because he didn't react quickly enough when pushing an ice cube onto a bit of dried sodium on the floor.

@@legendarymonkey503 it is not sodium that burns. It is the hydrogen gas that evolved which ignites immediately due to the enthalpy of reaction being negative, and exothermic. The metallic sodium floats due to H2 gas evolved which catches fire.

You’ve just answered a question I’ve had for a while. When I freeze a refilled bottle of water from the tap, when it begins to barely melt, the first little half of a sip is always extremely salty. Makes total sense now, thanks!
Saying "liquid water" should be a punishable offence.
Yess
That and also cuz of the smooth surface, which reduces friction
Your are offended
Not necessarily. Water comes in 4 states. Solid, Liquid, gas,(vapor) and plasma. Sodium reacts readily with LIQUID water. (The correct spelling is "offense")
@@vincentrobinette1507
H2O normally exists in 3 states of matter and the names are:
Solid= ice
Liquid= water
Gas= vapour
and in the 4th state, ie,
Plasma= ionized gas
You see how saying 'liquid water' is redundant.
And regarding spelling of offence, look for how it's spelt around the world, especially in the country of its origin and the country where there's highest number of English speakers (it's not US by the way). 😉

This channel should be put on the curriculum in science classes
Agree
No, hiding behind a table from a few feet away with your head poking up, nearly completely exposed during an explosive chemical reaction is not a good example of running experiments in a safe manner. Show people and or children the proper way of safely experimenting with water and sodium and maybe these vids could be recommended for educational purposes. That's my $0.02
Teach them how to extract the Sodium from table salt.
I disagree, he doesn’t even understand the basics of an alkali metal reaction with water.
This guy does it at his own home . With minimum equipment and simply out of curiosity . If I was in school and was exposed to a channel like this I deffinately would have pursued higher education in the field of science . Because he makes it clear that you don't need to be in a million pound laboratory to do science . He makes it approachable to someone who is interested but unable due to socioeconomic factors .No one said he has to know everything and do everything perfect .It's the passion he has that's infectious.
I had no idea sodium would react like that. Thanks for the demo.

@@_MegaMind_ lol . It reminded me of piplup
Imagine making bullets made of pure sodium - and the bullet reacting with the water in the unfortunate human body. Man that would suck. Most dangerous ammo ever.
Please dont give ideas
But you know, sodium can react with air to form a sodium hydroxide film on it. And sodium hydroxide absorbs carbon dioxide from the air and it will form sodium bicarbonate.
And you know sodium bicarbonate is baking soda. So I think it's not possible to make bullets out of pure metal of sodium.
Ps: just sharing my thought.
@@helly668 just create it in a vacuum then
@@ghasthordegd1201 Can you please elaborate it to me?
Pure sodium is explosive when exposed to oxygen. The oxygen in water is why its reacting, if it was pure it would have reacted with the air. So a bullet of pure sodium would be hard to handle for one and it would in all likelyhood explode in the barrel of the gun.
That is the most beautiful and satisficing explosion I ever seen.
If you don't like science you will watching this guy. I learn something from every video. Plus he does cool experiments.
When you put the -320 F sodium in liquid water, it quickly formed solid ice all around it and you basically had the solid on solid situation again that doesn't react. Then, as the warmer water melted that layer of ice away (and the sodium warmed), it could react. I saw some bubbles at first which was probably hydrogen gas pushing through a tiny hole in the ice.
Correct!
The Action Lab and the reaction should get slowed down at low temperatures taking even longer to explode right?
The reaction is highly exothermic so once it gets started it’ll happen pretty much instantly, with the produced heat nullifying the effects of the low temps
I know its solid but what is preventing the solids from reacting when in contact?
Ilsunny Lo orientation of the molecules, exposed surface area and molecular energy
"you don't wana get molten sodium"

Hurhur
No it’s just the northern lights
Isn’t it weird that Chlorine, a deadly gas and Sodium, an explosive material, combine and make table salt...
Not really. They are deadly or explosive (under certain conditions) respectively because of the configurations of electrons around them. Sodium wants to give one up and chlorine wants to steal one. Together they balance, having full outer shells, to form a substance necessary for life, and that's also quite tasty :)
Elements loose their original properties when in a compound.
Salt is a slow poison
Isn't it much weirder that hydrogen and oxygen which are flammable combine to give a material which extinguishes fire??
hydrogen and oxygen, most flammable substances, make up water :D

Thanks for remembering me my school days 🥲😍
Iv never seen hands speak to me in such passion before
Actually it's not that the sodium necessarily needs to meet liquid water. It's just that chemical reaction require a certain amount of activation energy to be undertaken. And since water freezes at such a high temperature this effect of completely frozen water not reacting with the sodium is just a side effect.
Nah
Nerd
Lol
Noob
Its like the Ea pathway is too much to reach. On an enthalpy graph you can see the theory behind it. The entropy of the reaction affects this too since solids are less spontaneous the ions dont move freely and dont get to react with the water molecules. But still this reaction is highly disturbing the equilibrium that the water and sodium are in.
Cool demonstration. Bring on the cesium!

If you made a ice Sphere, cut it in half, melted a small area for sodium. Lowered the temperature to the liquid nitrogen, then sealed it together with sodium in the center.
How long do you think it would take for the sealed ice ball to explode?
Depends on the surrounding temparature.
But it sounds like an experiment one should put on youtube. Just... just for science and certainly not for the spectacular explosion I expect.
