Can you make a video series covering how to handle different kinds of waste materials? I know you do in different videos along with the reaction but I think it would be cool to explore the chemistry behind how Halogenated solvents are destroyed in strongly basic conditions. I assume it’s would be because the strong base would be acting as a nucleophile??? Anyways would love to see different kinds of wastes and how they are handled!

Calcium polysulfides are used as a contact fungicide on dormant peach trees. The common retail label name is "Lime-sulfur spray", old timers make it by boiling sulfur lime and some wood ash over a fire outside. Application stinks but it is very effective for peach-leaf curl (with repeat applications water resistance is low) and listed organic as it quickly breaks into plant available mineral nutrients in the soil.

Thanks for the very clear info! I tried this, and what I got was an all-over antique yellowing without any rainbow colors. I had trouble getting my sulfur powder to mix very well since I don't have a magnetic stirrer, and the toning process took longer than yours did. Could not having enough dissolved sulfur be the reason I didn't get any pretty colors?
@eriswerks3 жыл бұрын
To answer my own question... I got a cheap magnetic stirrer. That did a much better job of dissolving the sulfur, and my silver pieces came out looking just as colorful as in the video. If anything, it works TOO well. Two seconds with a 1.5V battery gave me a deep sparkling blue, while one second gave me a red-gold tone. To make it slower/more subtle, I might try lowering the voltage, using less sulfur, or chilling the liquid.

Does this type of artificial toning damage a coin if not done to the point where silver sulfite is created on the coin and the coin turns black? I had also stored some rare, certified coins near unopened cereal boxes and I noticed that some of the coins were developing tarnish or toning on them so I moved the cereal boxes. Have my coins been harmed by being exposed to the unopened boxes of cereal? I have since moved the cereal boxes. One of the coins has toned a little dark.

Hi- I’m not sure if you’ll read this but if someone could answer me it would be great- it’s actually about the toning coins with anodizing- I am making the solution exactly like you said- HOWEVER I DONT HAVE A STIRRIR LIKE YOU- 1st I tried a mason jar and covered it, it got really hot and never turned orange even shaking it forever - next I did the 1/2 cup water with 2 tablespoons and 1 tablespoon meathod also in glass mason jar- I did a circular motion for about 12 min and NO ORANGE COLOR AGAIN!!!! Why? It was covered so I took the cover off after about 12 minutes thinking that covering it was the problem, stirred a little more but never turns orange- what am I missing? Help please!? Next I’m going to try uncovered with the 1/2 cup and 2Tb&1Tb method in circular tornado motion (I don’t have the magnet yet, maybe that’s the issue? But I’m stirring it similarly) - please help.

Mine turned orange first time. I used drain cleaning crystals and crushed match heads, and cut the total formula size down by about 75%. Didn't stir it for anywhere near half an hour, though did filter it a few times. Two wires soldered to the circuit board of an old remote control and I was toning, at ~2.5 volts. I've devised a procedure to tone, rinse with water, let air interact for about an hour, then tone further as desired. To remove it and start over, palmolive and a toothbrush generally does the trick. Soft cloth and silver polish if needed. I dropped out of chemistry in high school and went to work instead of college. Nice to be playing with a little chems again.
