      As a non chemist, this isnt like magic. It's essentially just manipulating how these chemicals and elements work. Like smashing your phone into powder, but a little more tedious.

      @@srreal4821 To run with your metaphor, I think the confusing part is that after smashing your phone into powder you normally can't just add some exotic liquids and heat to get a new phone _back_ from the smashed remains, so to speak. Navigating the intricate interplay between conservation laws and entropy can be very disorienting, especially for those who are used to classifying things under one or the other.
      For example, lots of people are used to the fact that oxygen can be converted to carbon dioxide and back to oxygen, because they've been taught about respiration and photosynthesis in school, however those same people are often surprised to learn that you can treat a pile of rust chemically to get back the same amount of iron you started with. People generally don't think of iron and iron oxide the way they think of oxygen and carbon dioxide, they are raised to think of breathing as a reversible conversion and rusting as an irreversible destruction. Likewise, most people think of any substance which has been dissolved in acid as having been destroyed forever, not just "stored in a different shape" for later retrieval or extraction.

      I think waste management is something a lot of folks forget; for example he was using a Fume Hood so where did all the gases go and what effects do they have? In a small individualized lab this isn't a big problem but let's upscale it to a chemical plant? If any of those ventilated gases are denser than air what effects could it have on a local population for example?

    5:40 but copper nitrate is a blue salt... Since you heat it up a greenish color might be delivered from copper oxide forms (ofc some decent amount of copper nitrate is still there). By the way, you can check a prices for metal prerursors, they are typically way more expensive than pure metals. (E.g. high purity copepr nitate is about 200 eur for 100g)

    After pulling off the silver, distill off MOST of the acid from the copper salt, and save that for other metal refining. Put in iron to cement out the copper. Add alkali to precipitate out the iron as hydroxide/oxide. The remainder can then be disposed of (rust and alkali water).

It was just a little plastic adapter to attach two 2-liter bottles to each other with a narrow opening, so that you could fill the bottom one, flip it over and spin it to make a water funnel. i don't know how many hours i spent just admiring liquid physics with things like that. the silver oxide swirling around and resembling a stormy scene is something I could watch for quite a long time.
