This is because of something called passivation where layer of oxidized copper forms and it covers the surface and protects the copper. To get it going I have to add some water which will dissolve the protective layer and let the acid attack it. This more dilute acid can completely shred all the metal until it completely dissolves. #shorts nilered nile red science chemistry nitric acid copper dissolve passivation protective layer"

This process is not only cool to look at but it also is really useful to extract gold from ore. The gold-mercury amalgam can then be isolated and the mercury is boiled off or removed chemically.

"Watch this superconductor hover around in mid-air So today instead of floating a magnet on top of a superconductor I'm going to show what happens if I do it the other way around. For this one I'm using a much bigger superconductor and I'm again cooling it with some liquid nitrogen. Now that it's super cold I can drop it onto a little magnet track that I made. It actually stays on the track and if I push it it's able to move without falling off. #shorts nilered nile red science chemistry superconductor disk hover mid-air magnet float liquid nitrogen nilered nile red science chemistry"

"This is the world's smokiest ball A few weeks ago I bought some titanium tetrachloride which I heard is one of the most obnoxious chemicals. When exposed to air almost immediately a bunch of white smoke starts pouring out. This is a mixture of hydrochloric acid and titanium oxides which form as the titanium tetrachloride reacts with the oxygen and moisture in the air. What I've always wanted to do was try and soak a super ball in it. #shorts nilered nile red science chemistry titanium tetrachloride world's smokiest super ball ticl4 smoke bounce nilered nile red science chemistry titanium"

"Pouring mercury into liquid nitrogen Mercury is the only metal that's a liquid at room temperature so I wanted to see what would happen if I poured it into liquid nitrogen. This is my first Youtube shorts video and I will be posting more here. I will be using this channel to combine all of the shorter videos that I've made on other platforms (Instagram Tiktok Twitter etc). I will also make new ones exclusively for this channel WARNING: Do not attempt anything in this video. Mercury is toxic an environmental hazard and must be handled appropriately. #shorts mercury metal liquid freeze nitrogen"

"Extracting the citric acid from lemons Today we are extracting citric acid from some large large lemons. Citric acid is quite a useful molecule in general but I don't have any particular uses for it. It is mostly used as a pH buffering agent in chemistry and isn't use in direct synthesis. A buffering solution is a solution that resists pH change. It is useful in synthesis when you need to keep the pH relatively constant during a reaction. In my Cadaverine video I used citric acid to make a pH buffer solution: https://youtu.be/C5hxFAwKIzs"

"How deadly is cyanide Sodium cyanide is quite useful in chemistry but it's probably best known as a poison. When used in chemistry it can be a bit scary to work with because of its toxicity. However what I find surprising is that it still takes a decent amount for it to be dangerous. WARNING: Cyanide is EXTREMELY toxic and dangerous. It was handled very carefully in this video. DO NOT recreate anything you see. #shorts nilered nile red science chemistry sodium cyanide poison toxic danger safety deadly toxicogenic dangerous nilered nile red science chemistry sodium cyanide poison toxic danger"

"My favorite book is on fire (oh no) Unfortunately my favorite book is on fire and I should probably do something about it. Thankfully what I used to put it out wasn't water and it's something called Novec [----] (methoxy-nonafluorobutane). It's a chemical used to put out fires in places like museums and server rooms because it evaporates without damaging things like paper and doesn't mess up electronics. #shorts nilered nile red science chemistry novec fire book novec [----] methoxy-nonafluorobutane flame extinguish extinguisher paper favourite favorite nilered nile red science chemistry novec"

"Extracting the starch from potatoes In this video we are isolating some starch from potatoes. We also talk a little bit about starch in general. Potato starch is better than corn starch because it forms a nice clear solution in water.

"Making superconductors Go to https://expressvpn.com/nilered and find out how you can get [--] months free. A few years ago I saw a video about superconductors and it looked like anti-gravity magic. So I decided to try and make some superconductors myself and to see if I could re-create the effect myself. In particular I'll be making a YBCO superconductor which is one of the few practical high-temperature superconductors.

Protect yourself online today Correction: at 12:50 I said that pure nitrogen is denser than air but that isn't true. The specific gravity of nitrogen vs dry air at STP is [----] meaning that it should rise slightly but the difference (0.97 vs 1) is so small that there isn't a very noticeable effect. When air is flushed out of a flask by nitrogen it would take a while but it should eventually mix with the air out of the flask. For this video I'll be making the sodium amalgam"
