Going to do this for my element collection. Also subbed. Edit: For the boiling chips, you can use small chips of a clay pot. They work very well, but, they can contaminate you solution, but nitrogen is a gas, so it isn't a problem.
Good point. I meant there is no carbon in either of the reactants. Nothing here is strong enough to oxidize the boiling chips, so they aren't going anywhere.
You could react away all the oxygen and show that the remaining volume is about 78% of what you started with. That's a somewhat common demo in schools - they take a known volume of air and pass it over heated copper to capture all the oxygen. That experiment is also the basis for my procedure in my video on helium, the second in this series.
@@mrhomescientist could you possibly link a video of the process please. I've not been able to prove the air we breath is made of 78%nitrogen 21%oxygen 1%other. Simular problems with water being made of two gasses.
@@bloodsthicker5651 As for your question on water, that's an even easier experiment: just pass a voltage through water with a dash of salt added. A 9V battery should work. Bubbles come off each wire, and if you collect those gases you can easily test them and find that one is H2 and the other is O2.
I wonder how you're going to do your fluorine video (once you get past oxygen) since making elemental fluorine is extremely difficult and extremely dangerous! If anyone has heard of the "fluorine martyrs" you'd know why elemental fluorine gas is some pretty nasty stuff!
I think I say this every time, but I get excited whenever I get a notification that you've posted a new video!
That's why I wait so long between videos; to keep people excited! lol I really appreciate your support. Thank you very much for the nice comments!

Thanks for the sub and all the comments! Good luck on your experiments!
Ok did I just watch a video of someone making Nitroge?!? Just a joke actually this is quite intresting. Never thought of reactions which produce N2.
This is absolutely amazing
Could you theoretically create pure nitrogen via electrolysis of pure and/or an aqueous solution of ammonia? Great video btw.
Could you please do an Elemental Extraction Series #8 for Oxygen?
I'll get there eventually! I need to get more liquid nitrogen first so I can make liquid oxygen for it.
Very nice video
Extract red phosphorus!! Please!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼
Its very simple, take the striker pad of a match bix and scratch the red with a metal knife, and you have pretty pure red phosphorus
isn't dry nitrogen lighter than air?
Looks like it's actually very slightly heavier. Either way, the difference is so minor that they won't separate out appreciably.
omg alredy more videos yaaay good thing to wake up to
You put activated carbon chips in it then said their is no carbon in it at all at the end how is there no carbon?
Good point. I meant there is no carbon in either of the reactants. Nothing here is strong enough to oxidize the boiling chips, so they aren't going anywhere.
Interesting if carbon monoxide is is the strongest diatomic bond, considering it's quite flammable.
Yes it is the strongest diatomic bond but it is still less than two diatomic double bonds.
ammonium nitrate NPK marking is actually 34-0-0
What practical demonstration could you do to prove the air is made of 78%nitrogen?

@@mrhomescientist have you found one yet by any chance?
@@bloodsthicker5651 th-cam.com/video/-28uuBcBK_E/w-d-xo.html is the video I modeled mine after. Or you can look up my helium video on my channel.
