What wonderful, unobstrusive, delicate, beautiful music .

[lame_artist]

This music reminds me of 2019 Nostalgia 😌😌

[toddd.]

This video is twice as good muted. Use that volume knob folks!

[drkinsukmaity]

Can I use graphite pencil instead of graphite rod?

[ralphrojo]

What are the names of those wires you use to connect within the DC supply and graphite rod?
I mean it is electrodes right?

[schautamatic]

Might make NaClO3 instead, which wouldn't be the worst thing for model rocket enthusiasts. 😄

[michaelperrone]

Why wouldn't this make sodium hypochlorite instead? I thought to make NaOH you needed an ion-permeable membrane in between to keep the chlorine away so it doesn't get oxidized.

[christophersnedeker]

I thought this was how you made bleach, is it the same substance?

[ជឿនសួន-ផវ]

Bro if you use salt with electrolisis it turn green bro

[NAUKWlEC]

What if I get black liquid (I added water and it turned blue) and 1 grafite rod vanished?

[sciencenav]

Please tell me how many voltage ⚡ use in

[zoemeow]

9v battery perhaps safer alternative version

[ramandeep]

You must keep electrodes as close as possible. It will require less voltage to travel and thus work more efficiently

If this truly is Sodium hydroxide... You should have warned viewers about the fact that it can react with most plastics and literally melt them spilling toxic caustic soda/SH everywhere.

I've had it happen. Nylon for example is a plastic that can handle chemicals such as this without melting or reacting.

[ជឿនសួន-ផវ]

Bro when you make video about fill balloons hydrogen

[qnedim]

Fake! They do the same thing in the YouTube video on how to produce bleach. Which one is correct then?

[MikeTrieu]

Eh, you're really making hypochlorous acid (and probably some fraction of sodium hypochlorite).

[alesilvestri]

you should use a nafion membrane not a sponge, it is useless

[AkhsAth]

This is hydrochloric acid and not sodium hydroxide
