Copper flame color - Copper I chloride in Methanol Posted by: evansp12
Video duration: 60 seconds A flame color of copper I (cuprous) chloride in burning methanol. Includes 4 picture clips, the last one is its emission spectrum. Note: the orange line is due to traces of sodium ions as an impurity. Related: chemical, chemistry, chloride, color, copper, cuprous, emission, flame, green, metal, methanol, reaction, spectrum, test, transition |

Cesium and water Posted by: evansp12
Video duration: 15 seconds A reaction of a small piece of cesium with water. Hydrogen is produced which burns, and very strongly alkaline cesium hydroxide is formed in solution. Related: alkali, and, caesium, cesium, chemical, in, metals, reaction, water |

Magnesium and steam Posted by: evansp12
Video duration: 35 seconds A movie of magnesium turnings burning in steam, the magnesium was heated until it started to ignite and the steam was generated by heating wet sand. Hydrogen was formed that burnt with a flame colored yellow owing to sodium ions from the hot glass. Sorry for the video quality. Related: alkaline-earth, combustion, magnesium, metal, steam |

Reduction of Fehling's solution Posted by: evansp12
Video duration: 39 seconds A movie depicting a reduction of Fehling's solution (a complex of copper II sulfate in alkaline sodium potassium tartrate solution) by glucose to form a precipitate of copper I oxide. Glucose is oxidized to gluconic acid. This reaction is used as a test for aliphatic aldehydes (e.g., formaldehyde, acetaldehde) and monosaccharides, e.g., glucose (which also contains aldehyde groups). Related: aldehyde, copper, fehlings, glucose, oxide, solution |

Cobalt 60 Posted by: evansp12
Video duration: 105 seconds Radioactivity of cobalt 60 isotope in sealed source tested with Russian made Kvarts DRGB-90 Geiger counter. Aluminium foil, glass pane and 2 layered thin lead sheet tested for shielding effects. Radiation measurement in x10 setting were up to 20 úSv per hour. Related: 60, cobalt |

Strontium 90 Posted by: evansp12
Video duration: 100 seconds Radioactivity of strontium 90 isotope in sealed source tested with Russian made Kvarts DRGB-90 Geiger counter. Aluminium foil, glass pane and 2 layered thin lead sheet tested for shielding effects. Radiation measurement in x10 setting were up to 20 úSv per hour. Although indicated as beta radiation, it should read as beta minus radiation (as opposed to beta positive). Related: 90, strontium |
