This wasn't anything Cody just thought of last year. He has known for a very long time that hydrogen cyanide is in cherry pits and that HCN dissolves gold. He has only gotten around to trying this experiment now.
Didn’t he keep Tin in a freezer to make gray Tin once? Took years

Cody: "don't make cyanide yourself.....like...ever"
also Cody: "there's far better ways to get cyanide!"
Working with cyanide on a small scale is doable for amateur chemists. But the synthesis of cyanide often involves HCN...many chemists accidentally gassed themselves with it.
I've used cyanide and I used to have either some indicatoror a pH probe (depending on how fancy the lab I was working at was) and quite a bit of sodium hydroxide set up above it in order to stop the reaction going acidic, because if that happens, I'd get HCN and probably die

Organic chem (or maybe even chem in general) takes you down a dark road filled with questionable purchases and disregarding any instructions that came with said purchases. Hopefully, I don't have to explain the normal implifications of purchasing two bottles of anal lube, but NileRed also bought a whole bunch of Pepto-Bismol, and the implifications of such a purpose was (and I'm paraphrasing) "you'd just feel bad for someone purchasing that much Pepto-Bismol".

Man, Cody, I love your channel so much. Small things like your general sense of humor, your dedication to ideas like saving cherry pits, and the cut to you showing the Prussian Blue in daylight are endearing qualities that I really appreciate. Even when the content isn’t exactly applicable to my life (lol), it’s educational and entertaining nonetheless.
Good stuff, dude!
Cody I’m still confused as to why this video isn’t monetized.
Yup, i definitely absolutely am too.
TH-cam hates science and history channels
production of hazardous materials
He made a deadly poison from household items, with easily accessible equipment, using a process that you or I could follow.
@@FluffyCarpenterBee I'm pretty sure he left a couple steps out, and/or didn't explain it enough. Most of this equipment isn't exactly readily available, although I guess anything is on the internet. My point is, you'd already either have to know what you're doing, or do more research, making this video useless.
I get your point though, and you're not wrong. I still don't see the problem though, but that's an issue with TH-cam's system in general.
Just nit picking here. Though apples also have cyanogenic glycosides in them (Amygdalin) they are pome fruits not stone fruits.
Well I never claimed to be a botanist.
Never heard of a “pome” fruit. That’s cool.
Pomme is just Apple in France tho.
Potato is "pomme du terre" Yeah a "pome fruit".
Of course apples are pomme. Its just the French word
He never said other types didnt have it
I finally found someone with another weird TH-cam name
I'm always amazed by your creativity with chemistry. Great video
I think I remember reading that there’s enough cyanide to kill you in just two ground cherry stones. But I might have made that memory up.
This is one of those things that is technically true but in practice wouldn’t work. The reaction is too slow and your body could process it just as fast as the cyanide was produced, so you would need maybe 100x more to actually be lethal.
Yeah no I've eaten more than that in a day they are surprisingly tasty.
Cody'sLab ha ha! I did think that given the number of cherries eaten each year there’d have been some kind of health scare by now if it was a real issue. Still, if you ate 200 cherry stones I think the cyanide might not be top of your list of problems 😂
I love when Cody says "the ONLY ISSUE I RAN INTO". The behind the sceenes bloopers are the birds dropping from the sky above his place. Lol. Love your content Cody
Man, the extraterrestrials going through our internet must be shitting bricks knowing that we eat foods containing deadly toxins and then walk it off like it was nothing...
Don't walk by cody's house when he's sciencing, might get a waft of what he's cookin. Thinking of that you might want to check your front sidewalk you might have a pile of dead neighbors that were walking their dog at the wrong time, just a thought lol.
And gimme some more of that cyanide.

@@Shaun.Stephens This old Tony rocks. Also Frank Howarth has a similar style for some on his videos.
Cody is a blessing. I know nothing about chemistry but something about him is so interesting that I keep watching even if he is speaking gibberish to me.
Most seeds in the family Rosaceae, mainly from the genus malus (Apples), pyrus (Pears) and prunus (Cherries, almonds, etc.) among others. Sweet almonds and sweet apricots still have the amygdalin. You'd have to eat several bushels of almonds and a little less than that in sweet aps. The seeds aren't anywhere near as bad in Rubus (Raspberry, blackberry, thimbleberry, boysenberry, etc) and Fragaria (Strawberry). Yes, all of the fruits listed are related albeit somewhat distantly, in the rose family.

I like the editing tricks with the time skips. I know they are nothing new, but I am a sucker for that sort of thing.
You would love This Old Tony
When Cody is worried with safety you know is something dangerous
I'll always appreciate that he puts the chemical reactions in clear text on the screen, even if I lost the knowledge on how to read them after high school organic chem.
Maybe someday i'll understand what they mean again.

@@DavidLindes Yeah, some TOT Majick is always welcome :)
There is a huge pile of cherry pits that's been sitting around near the Juab county dump for years now, probably leaching a bunch of cyanide into the ground. Anyway, instead of saving your own pits, you could have probably just picked up a couple of bucketsful in Nephi.
A good way to bump a person off without leaving a paper trail or video evidence behind when buying Cyanide. LOL
@@Andrew-my1cp simple H2S, more toxic than cyanide and no antidote
@@bromisovalum8417 H2S is less toxic than cyanide and HCN. 800 ppm for 5 minutes has killed a human before. 800 ppm is quite a lot compared to 100ppm of HCN. Also good luck administrating a gas for a long enough time. I'd stick with cyanides at that point. It's also very potent of a smell. I think seeing high traces of sulfur in the lungs would raise questions. Just saying
Or just punch them really hard and a lot.
@@c0mputer that defeats the no evidence part lol
I think it would be easier to use in powder form, which would require purifying and then extracting it as a solid. Cody doesn't show us that part unfortunately.
But it does solidify the idea that you should never fuck with a chemist
Finally! A clean method I can dispose of all this useless gold scrap I have lying around. Very informative and interesting. Thank you!
Years ago, I accidentally dropped my gold ring into a beaker of aqua regia and it dissolved.
That was the pits :(

Can you do a video on how you refined the cherries to just pits
I can see the video title... "Extracting Cherry Pits Unscathed using my New Rocket Propulsion System"
They make a kitchen tool for pitting cherries, called a " Cherry Pitter". strangely enough.
Likely Cody canned all the cherries to eat this winter, keeping the pits.
Oral mastication is my bet.

Prussian blue is Also utilized to check for planarity of mechanical pieces.
You put a couple of mls of motor oil on the comparison plane (which u know is flat), then u take a piece of paper or fabric, dip said cloth in the pigment, spread the pigment and motor oil on the comparison plane, grab the Component that u need to check, put it flat against the plane and move it around just a bit to get the pigment to Stick onto the surface.
Where it's blue you know it's flat, where It isn't you know that u have a depression.
Or as another example, IT Can Also be utilized to check if you got the correct shimming for coupling crown and pinion of a gearbox (diff). (I've done so just a month Ago, old Fiat Stil runs, lol)
Greetings from Italy
I wish my glassware would snap together with a clap of my hands...
I wish my glassware cleaned itself with a clap of my hands
i would like to know how much cyanide you can extract with this method, any idea of how many mol you got from those pits?
I estimate I got a tenth of a gram from the 700 grams. Theoretically I could have got about half a gram.
At 26.02g / mole a 1/10g sample would be 0.0038431975403 moles.
@Grant Craig @@theCodyReeder thank you guys ! so, for a proof of concept, the process is nice, but it doesn't have a good yield... something like one-two hundred mL of solution at roughly 0.02-4 mol/L isn't much. I was trying to figure out if the process would be economically sustainable, if we had like a depot for organic wastes in a city, but that wouldn't work much, the heating and all the released vapours wouldn't make it worth it...
@@theCodyReeder Yeah but how many people can it kill? That's what he's asking.

The edits on this video were a very nice added touch!
I'm always stoked when I see a new video from Cody.
If this can dissolve the gold, can you re-extract that gold from the mixture?
Let's say if you were trying to remove gold from circuit board parts, and wanted to collect the gold into one mass.
Id imagine this would not be an efficient way to do it, but if you sought to do so, would you be able to?
It's called cyanide leaching or gold cyanidation. You use cyanide to extract gold or other precious metals from minerals with low content of said metals. Its use in mining often causes vast damage to the environment, but it works because it's relatively easy to extract the metals from the solution. So I guess it should work with circuit boards, too.
@@ado1035 -- Awesome -- thanks. Yeah I was was wondering about that for a long time and when I seen this video I figured Id ask. I really appreciate the prompt response w/ it too. Im sure there's more effective ways of doing it, but its interested me on how they recover the most possible units of precious metals when recovering from circuit boards or things like that. Thank you for the info though -- Im going to look into that. I never knew it was so commonly utilized.
So the smell of roasted almonds is the smell of hydrogen cyanide?
Not quite, but it is possible. A lot of noxious or otherwise unpleasant chemicals smell like almonds. Despite all of this, it's mostly due to how one is used to surrounding smells and your genetics as to how you smell and compare it. So overall, what Cody is smelling, may smell very different to what you smell it as.
I actually heard that somewhere else. Mabe it wascmy dad. he was trying to get me to drink something that smelled like almonds. I dropped it and the dog got into it. Later the dog di......wait a minute.....HEY!

I love the new transitions your doin
can you recover the gold and cyanide after dissolving? If so how large are your losses for each?
yes. massive loss of cyanide, no loss of gold
I mean he would loose a tiny bit of gold. he always does whenever he recovers it.
Im just wondering if he would he able to recover the tiny amount that the gold leaf put into it with the little black carbon pellets he uses.
I feel like recovering that tiny tiny amount of gold would be really hard.
What he usually does is collect all the gold experiments he's done in the last few months and then refines the gold out in one go, this will minimise the losses.
Not sure about with cyanide, but he usually just adds a chemical that makes it impossible for the gold to be dissolved anymore.
Wait, is cyanide named after the color cyan?
Or cyan named after cyanide? *mindblown*
should've named it prussy

almond extract smells like cherries, cherry pits small like roasted almonds, huh
Both almonds and cherries are in the same botanical family, and almonds are basically the insides of a “cherry” pit, so kinda cool their smells would be related...
Almond extract contains benzaldehyde which when an acid is present smells and tastes like cherry
I thought the almond/cherry-ness was from the benzaldehyde, (which I guess he explained with the amygdalin part)
