    In this video I put a diamond in one of the most dangerous solutions called piranha solution. I show you how crazy this highly acidic/highly oxidizing liquid is. I put a sponge in it then I put in a hot dog. Then finally I test if the solution can actually dissolve a diamond!

      hi I enjoyed your video, next time just measure the same thing three times before doing anything with it and find the mean aka average of the numbers and the same thing after you do your experiment to be sure that there is something happened.

    Great video as always 😊
    I would like to point something out:
    Diamonds are HARD and not TOUGH.
    The difference is:
    HARD is resilient to scratches
    TOUGH is resilient to breakage
    When you said you could easily break a diamond with a hammer, it's because diamonds are actually pretty brittle, this has nothing to do with hardness.
    Diamond can engrave and cut almost anything else, but lots of materials would smash diamonds on impact.

On the other hand H2O2 can be concentrated by mixing it with 95% sulfiric acid which you can make by distilling the car battery acid. The h2o2 you will use will be 30-35% food grade hydrogen peroxide. The way it concentrates is that sulfiric acid is extremely hygroscopic and absorbs the water from the mixture.

    How do you get rid of the liquid?

    • @Sharpless2
      @Sharpless2 5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      hydrogen peroxide degrades over time, so just leaving it exposed to air and light (in a fumehood!) will neutralize it, mostly overnight. To neutralize the Sulfuric acid you can use baking soda, but dilute the acid with a lot of water first.

    • @thedillybot
      @thedillybot 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The peroxide gets consumed and degrades naturally but you can neutralize the acid. Just do it very slowly because there will be a ton of heat. Edit: Just realized someone had already answered, so "what they said" works.

      It will dissolve any carbon, plastic is a chain of carbon. To dispose of it you change the pH by adding an alkaline to it, to make it inert.

    Examine the diamond with a jewelers loupe (10x magnification), notice if any of the "adamantine" lustre (perfect polish) on the flat surfaces of facets were diminished, do this inspection with exterior illumination like fluorescent room lighting. Also notice the edges where facet planes form a common edge
