How to isolate Vanillin from Artificial Vanilla Extract
In this video, vanillin is isolated from artificial vanilla extract. The solvent used is dichloromethane, but it is likely better to use diethyl ether as it does not form an emulsion. I used dichloromethane because it is easier to obtain for most people.
It is important to use artificial vanilla and not real vanilla extract. The real vanilla extract contains many more compounds.
The amount of vanillin in commercially available extracts is widely variable and usually ranges between 1g-4g per 500mL volume.
In this video, I'll be recreating the popular demonstration called the Chemical Traffic Light Reaction.
Note: I made a mistake in the video. I said the carbonate solution would have a pH around 8-9, but it would actually be closer to 11-12. I was thinking of sodium bicarbonate when I said that.

in this video, we make some acrolein by catalytically decomposing glycerol.
This video had to be made outside, so the lighting is not the greatest.

In this vial, is a concentrated form of uranium called sodium diuranate (Na2U2O7), and it's extremely radioactive. What's kind of weird is that this little box, is even more radioactive, but it isn't filled with a bunch of pure radioactive material, and it's just some old watch hands. However these watch hands, are painted with something called radium, that's 1000000x more radioactive than uranium.

Hey guys, in this video we will be making some hydrazine sulfate starting using urea and bleach. It will be used in a future video to make Luminol!

In this video, I continue my amalgam series and I attempt to make the so-called ammonium amalgam.
This was done by combining an ammonium salt with sodium amalgam that I made in a previous video.

In this video, I will be trying to recreate the popular explosive polymerization video. In this reaction, p-nitroaniline is heated over a flame with some sulfuric acid. Initially, not too much happens, but then suddenly, a large black snake appears.
To do this, I will first need to make some p-nitroaniline, from acetanilide that I made in a previous video.
The foam that is formed is resistant to fire.

Hey guys, this video has been a long time coming. The acetone that we make here from calcium acetate isn't super pure and it is more as a proof of concept than anything. The yield also isn't super amazing.
I also just noticed that the last video has almost the same thumbnail...oops
RIP. Always remember the flask and the heating mantle.

Manganese heptoxide is an extremely powerful and dangerous oxidizer made from sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and potassium permanganate (KMnO4). It violently reacts with almost all organic material. Proper care must be taken at all times.
