Don't Spray Sodium Metal With Water After Flattening It In A Hydraulic Press!

In this video I crush pure sodium metal in the hydraulic press. First I show how sodium reacts with water explosively. Then I crush the sodium metal in the hydraulic press until it is flat like aluminum foil. After that I get the bright idea to spray it with water since it has so much surface area.
Send me things to crush at:
PO Box 482
North Plains OR 97133
*If you do send me something message me so I know it's coming!

@alexisfiligree9116 6 жыл бұрын

No...not a swimming pool. It would actually react more slowly...and having it stick around longer is more dangerous. Swimming pools are cleaned with the addition of NaClO (Sodium Hypochlorite...bleach). This compound is made by bubbling chlorine gas through aqueous sodium hydroxide. The addition of the relatively small amount of sodium hypochlorite makes the pool slightly basic and less conducive to the reaction with elemental sodium. For something as unwanted as elemental sodium, the last thing you want is a slow reaction. Also, sodium hydroxide is caustic and harmful to human skin (even moreso than sodium hypochlorite)...and you don't want to swim in what is essentially lye water.

I have almost rooted myself on a hot, dry and barren patch of soil that has been submerged by the floodwaters, surviving on photosynthesis alone, which is very meagre due to the amount of sedimentation of the water..its really hard here.. and so cold....plus its hard to operate my laptop under all the heat and dust and the water is bad for the electronics while the cold saps my battery...I have to hug it close to my body to keep it warm but it only makes the heat even more unbearable.

Yes, I knew that sodium reacts easily with water due to having only one electron in it's outer shell. But I just learned the mechanical process behind the speed of the reaction. The sodium actually melts and forms tiny spikes in the water that give it a lot of surface area then it reacts with the water losing an electron thus forming Na+ ions which repel and that creates the rapid explosion along with the H2 burning. Here is the research that talks about it cen.acs.org/articles/93/web/2015/01/Sodium-Potassium-Really-Explode-Water.html

crushing reactive metals like this should have only been done with a blast shield and proper PPE. Alkali metals can form superoxides on their surface and either pressing that into the bulk of the metal, or friction with organic materials (oils, paints, etc) can explode. And of course they explode when they come in close contact with water while molten.

@mercedesmarton3768 7 жыл бұрын

ton of questions. If a metal is that so soft and sensitive to water what can it be used for. Why does it react to water as it does, why explodes when gets in contact of an other burning metal, why does it react to oxygen so fast? Thanks for the video, very interesting.

Yeah, I understand that feeling, when you just went to school and accidentally spill your water on a piece of pure sodium metal crushed with a hydraulic press.

sodium in water is kinda cool. but pottasium is cooler.

@dutchik5107 7 жыл бұрын

yeah francium would be the coolest. but I think it would react with the air so much if you could even get enough that you can't put it in water.

@lajoswinkler 7 жыл бұрын

Nobody will ever collect enough of francium (not even a visible grain) because it has an extremely short halflife of radioactive decay. Even if you could, it would vaporize because of the heat it selfgenerates. We've so far clumped few tens of atoms in a spot. It's also quite possible it would not be more reactive due to some relativistic effects inside its electron cloud. Facts are: cesium is the most reactive metallic element, and lithium is the most powerful reducing metallic element.

@Viizzai-os 7 жыл бұрын

Is it possible there could be a metastable isotope of Francium? Or are those only present in lanthanides and actinides?

@zbrooo 7 жыл бұрын

Francium would be less reactive than caesium
