How to make Prussian Blue!

Показать описание

I hope you all enjoy the video, be sure to comment below!

A rough outline of the first half of the video:

Today we will be making yet another beautiful blue chemical, with great historical footholds. We will be making Iron hexacyanoferrate, also known as Prussian blue.

Prussian Blue is best known for its deep blue hue, and is commonly used in many forms of art. Most know of Van Gogh’s Starry Night, or The Big Wave, both utilize Prussian Blue. The name Blueprint originally derives from the hue of the print, an artifact of the print process used, called cyanotype, which involves Prussian Blue.

Enough of the History, onto the synthesis:

For this experiment we will need Iron (II) Sulfate, Potassium Ferricyanide, Glass Beakers, A Glass WatchGlass, A Scale, paper filters, gloves, and goggles.
First we need to create our solution of potassium ferricyanide. 11.1 grams of potassium ferricyanide was dissolved in about 50mL of water, however I found Hi everyone
this to be in excess.

Next we need to find our source of iron, in our case this is from Iron (II) sulfate. The iron (II) sulfate was actually a waste product from a previous experiment, and is in a saturated solution of about 200mL.

From this point we simply mixed the two solutions, used a gravity filtration, multiple water washings, allowed to dry for 3 days, and ground into a fine powder. The overall mass

Thanks. Very informative video. I am a fashion designer. I can make many colors by mixing main colors. I was looking for coloring video . But my mother was chemistry teacher and I also know little chemistry. Thanks for this video and I got some knowledge how chemicals are made and mixed in laboratory.

'Laboratory grade filtration system' (A filter with a mcdonalds coffee cup) 😂 ha

Can you helpme out? My hair dye removed by bits my grey shirt color, how do I tone the bits darker enough so it is less obvious? What do I use n how?

hello I was told you can make prussian blue WITHOUT the cyanide pls advise ok thanks

lol, how do you have a chemistry channel but not a vacuum filter, more than one watch glass (measuring stuff out in a pill lid), mortar and pestle, etc?

Am I the only one from Stephanie soo’s video

Please tell me I am use this color in acrylic painting I am from India

or gum arabic water and abit of honey for some watercolor paint :)

Neat! I just subscribed. I'm a chemistry major

2 questions what is iron oxide soluble in and would that work as an iron compound for Prussian blue sorry?

Great, thanks for showing, did you delete both substances w water in the beginning? it looks a little bit too very dark to me, what do you think?

Please help me sir!! I made the pigment however whenever i pour it through the laboratory quantitive filter paper, it gets stick to it forever. And even if i try to scratch it out it just come up with the torn filter paper. what type of filter paper did you use? its actually for my class 12 investigatory project
