Elemental Extractions 7: Nitrogen Part 1

In Part 7 of the series, we take a look at nitrogen, and make it chemically without using explosives! Nitrogen makes up 78% of air, and is a necessary element for all life.

Part 2: fixing problems; it'll be up shortly.

I think I say this every time, but I get excited whenever I get a notification that you've posted a new video!

Loving the Idiocracy reference!

Going to do this for my element collection. Also subbed.
Edit: For the boiling chips, you can use small chips of a clay pot. They work very well, but, they can contaminate you solution, but nitrogen is a gas, so it isn't a problem.

Ok did I just watch a video of someone making Nitroge?!? Just a joke actually this is quite intresting. Never thought of reactions which produce N2.

omg alredy more videos yaaay good thing to wake up to

Could you theoretically create pure nitrogen via electrolysis of pure and/or an aqueous solution of ammonia? Great video btw.

Could you please do an Elemental Extraction Series #8 for Oxygen?

[Smidge]

Interesting if carbon monoxide is is the strongest diatomic bond, considering it's quite flammable.

[joetri]

You put activated carbon chips in it then said their is no carbon in it at all at the end how is there no carbon?

[nicktohzyu]

isn't dry nitrogen lighter than air?

[yebofit]

Extract red phosphorus!! Please!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼

I wonder how you're going to do your fluorine video (once you get past oxygen) since making elemental fluorine is extremely difficult and extremely dangerous!

If anyone has heard of the "fluorine martyrs" you'd know why elemental fluorine gas is some pretty nasty stuff!

ammonium nitrate NPK marking is actually 34-0-0

[bloodsthicker]

What practical demonstration could you do to prove the air is made of 78%nitrogen?
